All questions → #### Where is VERSE based? Founded in Tunis, with a London-led UK expansion in 2026. Screens are live in the UK and Tunisia, with Türkiye opening in January 2027. #### What do you sell? Free digital signage to venues, an optional subscription for venues that want their screens ad-free, and in-venue advertising to brands and agencies by the impression, directly or over OpenRTB. #### How do you count impressions? Every play is logged by our player and credited with impressions from our proprietary audience model for that venue, hour and screen, checked by unannounced in-person audits and calibrated with scan data. We count people, not plays. #### Do you use cameras? No. Footfall is modelled, never filmed. VERSE Sense, a footfall and dwell sensor in development, has no camera and collects no personal data. Exposed-device reporting is consented, hashed and k-anonymous. #### Can we visit a venue? Yes. Ask through the contact page and we will arrange a visit in London or Tunis. Work with us ### Screens that pay for themselves. Venues, brands and agencies start free. Partners and press, get in touch. [Start free](https://verse.ad/start)[Contact](https://verse.ad/contact)
