Independent Consultancy  ·  Est. 2009  ·  UK & Europe

Experienced independent consultancy, working directly for you.

DCCO provides consultancy to SMEs, venues, advertisers and technology organisations on digital signage, DOOH, IT & AV transformation, AI adoption, and project delivery. No hardware to sell, just honest, senior advice on the decisions that matter.

Digital Signage & DOOH IT & AV Transformation AI Adoption & Strategy Project & Risk Management

DCCO's primary market is SMEs — businesses large enough to have real technology problems but often without the in-house expertise to resolve them independently. Larger organisations and consultancies who sub-contract also form part of the client base.

Over thirty-seven years of practice, work has covered a wide range of sectors. The problems tend to differ in surface detail but share the same underlying shape: a technology decision needs making, the vendors all have something to sell, and an independent view would save time and money.

Sectors covered
Theatre & Entertainment Media Owners Digital Out of Home Venues & Arenas Theme Parks & Attractions Retail Banking & Financial Services Aviation Corporate

What makes this engagement different.

Most consultancies put a senior person on the sales call and a junior on the work. At DCCO there is no junior. Every engagement is handled by the same senior consultant from the first conversation to the final deliverable.

DCCO is not building a practice or selling a methodology. The work is bringing thirty-seven years of hard-won experience to your specific problem and giving you an honest assessment of what to do about it.

About DCCO
01 Genuinely independent

DCCO does not sell hardware or software, and does not take referral fees or manufacturer commissions. The recommendation follows your interest, not a margin. If the right answer is to do nothing, that is what gets said.

02 Breadth and depth

Thirty-seven years across broadcast, AV, IT infrastructure, digital signage, DOOH, and AI — working vendor-side and client-side. Technical specification and board-level decisions are both understood. Both matter.

03 Low pressure, high value

DCCO is not an aggressive sales operation, and there is no expectation that you arrive as a confident buyer. Start with an email. Describe the problem. If DCCO can help, the response will say how. If not, it will say that too.
