ScreenCloud

ScreenCloud operates as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider in the digital signage market, offering a platform that enables businesses to display and manage content on various screens. The company was co-founded in 2015 by Mark McDermott (CEO), David Hart, and Luke Hubbard (CTO). The founders transitioned from running a digital agency called Codegent, where they worked with high-profile clients, to focusing entirely on their product, ScreenCloud. This move was driven by a desire to shift from a service-based model to a scalable product-based business, a journey that saw ScreenCloud's revenue surpass that of their former agency.

The business model is centered on a subscription service, with pricing typically on a per-screen, per-month basis. This model provides flexibility for clients, who range from small businesses to large multi-location enterprises, to scale their digital signage network as needed. The company targets industries such as corporate communications, retail, education, and manufacturing, aiming to improve employee engagement, productivity, and operational efficiency. By transforming screens into tools for communication, ScreenCloud helps organizations connect with deskless and frontline workers.

ScreenCloud's platform is designed to be hardware-agnostic, meaning it can run on a wide variety of consumer-grade hardware like Amazon Fire TV sticks and Google Chromecasts, as well as dedicated commercial players. This approach reduces the barrier to entry for businesses by avoiding costly proprietary hardware. The core of the service is a cloud-based content management system (CMS) that allows users to remotely upload, schedule, and manage content across one or thousands of screens from a centralized dashboard. Key features include a design tool called Canvas for creating branded content, over 80 app integrations with services like Google Suite, Slack, and social media feeds, and robust security features like single sign-on (SSO). The platform also provides advanced capabilities such as screen zoning, remote device management, and analytics on content performance.

The company has grown to over 120 employees across hubs in London, Belfast, Bangkok, and Charlotte, serving over 10,000 customers in more than 130 countries. The Bangkok office is a major hub for product and engineering development. In early 2025, ScreenCloud secured a majority investment from private equity firm Tenzing to accelerate global expansion and product development, including leveraging AI. This partnership marked a significant milestone, providing capital and operational expertise to support the company's next phase of growth.
