01

General

6 questions

From the moment they step through the threshold your customers are in the center of your brand space, but without sound, they don’t get the full immersive experience. AME allows you to custom tailor that tone — be it one location or thousands.

The AME system is controlled via a central web interface, accessible by any internet-connected computer. No apps, no program needed.

AME doesn’t just provide the tunes; we can also set up the entire system. Our nation-wide network of technicians can visit your store and work with our audio designers to get your store dressed for audio success.

Yes. Use the contact form and we can get the ball rolling with a test drive!

Yes. If you have a specific mood in mind, we can make a list for it. We also offer playlists that blend different categories of music by percentages to create the perfect mix.

You can, but that limits your control of the environment. Instead of being at the whim of a radio station’s programming, you can be the one calling the shots. It’s your space, we’ll help tailor it to your vision.

02

Music

5 questions

Yes. Everything we supply is fully licensed for commercial use, including music on hold. You are covered without ever dealing with the rights bodies yourself.

You steer it. We build the programming around your brand and review it with you. You can always ask us to add, drop or rebalance anything.

That is what dayparting is for. Morning, midday and evening can each carry their own pace and energy, automatically.

Continuously. Seasonal refreshes happen as a matter of course, and we rotate the library so regulars never hear the same loop twice.

No. Sites can be grouped by region, format or individually, and each group can run its own programming.

03

Custom Messaging

6 questions

We can write the script or you can. We then work from your promotional calendar and brand voice. You approve every script before it is recorded.

Yes. We send samples from our roster — male and female — and you pick the one that fits your brand.

You set the interval, and it can differ by daypart and/or by location.

Messages can go out as fast as 5–10 minutes if necessary; however, standard turnaround is 24 hours.

Yes. Messages can run estate-wide, by region or at a single site, without touching the rest of the network.

Yes. Finished audio is yours to keep and use across any channel you like.

04

Managed Scheduling

6 questions

We own the schedule end to end — dayparts, seasonal changes, campaign timing and location grouping. You approve the plan; we keep it running.

Yes. You keep full access to the Web Interface. Managed scheduling means you do not have to use it, not that you cannot.

As far ahead as you like — many clients map out a full year of seasonal and holiday programming in advance. Promotional changes can be slotted in real time or within 24 hours.

Yes. Sites can be grouped by region, format or trading pattern, and each group can run its own daypart schedule.

Your programming specialist. One email or call and the change is scheduled across every affected location.

No. Scheduling changes are part of the service.

05

Video

5 questions

We supply and configure the receivers and can specify displays to suit the space, or work with screens you already own. Most clients buy displays locally and let us handle everything behind them.

As often as you like. Content is pushed from the AME Web Interface and takes effect at the next scheduled loop.

Yes. Screens can be grouped by region, store format or individual site, and each group can run its own loop and schedule.

Absolutely. Upload your own spots and we will slot them into the loop alongside anything we produce for you.

A basic network connection is all that is required. The receiver caches content locally, so playback continues uninterrupted if the connection drops.

06

New Construction & Installation

6 questions

Yes. We provide drawings and specifications your GC, architect or AV partner can build to, and coordinate directly with them.

Yes. We will work with your contractor, Facilities team and/or AV partner. We work with your team to determine the best acoustic placement for our system based on the plans of each location.

As early as possible. Getting speaker layout into the drawings avoids far more expensive changes later.

If they are serviceable, yes. We will assess coverage and tell you honestly what is worth keeping.

Yes. We schedule phased installs across large estates with a single point of contact throughout.

Every zone is levelled and tuned at launch, and we walk your team through day-to-day operation.
