About us
Imagineear was founded in 2009 in London and Amsterdam, and is still owned and managed by the same team.
Our sole focus has always been providing media experiences to visitor attractions, and our clients today include some of the world’s leading sports venues, heritage and cultural sites and entertainment brands.
We provide audio and multimedia solutions in multiple languages, which we publish to web apps, native apps, kiosks and big screens, and our own suite of handheld Android devices. We build triggering and augmented reality into the visitor’s experience, and offer a world of additional depth through immersive virtual reality.
From the outset Imagineear’s values reflected those of the founders:
Fair, Open and Transparent
Trust is lost in buckets and regained in drops. We aim at all times to treat clients and staff in a fair and transparent manner.
People-Centric
In the end, all staff members are volunteers. We aim to put our staff first, knowing that this way they will be able to put the client first.
Innovative, Creative and Bold
In an ever-changing landscape, our most valuable defence is persistent innovation and building a reputation for genuine creativity.
Authentic and Quality-Orientated
In a messy world, we embrace a zero-defect mentality, recognising that our products and services must operate flawlessly for clients, all day and every day.
Reliable
Our word is our bond. We strive to deliver reliable services consistently.
Thorough and Patient
In an ever-changing landscape, our most valuable defence is persistent innovation and building a reputation for genuine creativity.
