Services
Advisist specialises in creating immersive experiences that bring together people, spaces, and technology, whether a venue is permanent, semi-permanent, or temporary.
With expertise in audio, video, lighting, and control systems, combined with a deep understanding of human engagement within attractions, Advisist creates seamless connections between guests and technological infrastructure.
Recognising that no two projects are the same, each with its own unique set of challenges, Advisist leverages its years of industry experience to develop innovative solutions that push the boundaries of what is possible in the AV space.
Their approach is entirely bespoke, blending strategy, creativity, design, and innovation to meet any project’s needs. As dedicated problem-solvers, Advisist anticipates challenges and adapts to changing circumstances while maintaining the highest level of service and quality.
Planning & Ideation
At the outset of a project, Advisist partners with clients to assess whether a concept is viable and to define key elements such as project goals, end-user experience, and storytelling. At this stage, they also consider the specific equipment required to support the system.
Design & Commissioning
Advisist offers independent design and engineering services, delivering detailed drawings, renderings, vendor recommendations, and operational cost assessments. They also provide third-party commissioning to ensure that all systems function correctly and contribute to the project’s success.
Content Creation
Among its services, the firm offers the creation of engaging AV-related content, including press releases, opinion pieces, white papers, reviews, manuals, and more.
Bid Preparation
Advisist streamlines the bid process, offering RFP consulting, bid preparation, and third-party review consultations. Their expertise ensures that bid submissions are well-structured, cost-effective, and incorporate appropriate equipment considerations.
