Bouncepad

Bouncepad was born out of a light bulb moment in Apple’s London flagship store, where founder Tobi Schneidler had a revelation as he held a newly launched iPad.

He realised that this gadget could work brilliantly in commercial spaces, and provide the missing link between the high street and the digital world. However, to make the transformation from consumer plaything to business hardware, the iPad needed a way to be secured and presented in public environments. Tobi was perfectly placed to take on the challenge as a partner of design consultancy SpotSpot, which he established alongside Bouncepad co-founders Solon Sasson and Tom Ballhatchet to bring digital life to physical environments.

The team promptly devised an iPad-style tablet kiosk and showcased it in a pop-up shop in London’s Soho. The AppLounge store used the first Bouncepad to present tablet based content alongside physical products. The response was overwhelming. From pensioners to families to teenagers, everyone wanted to interact with this unique gadget. Just three months later, Bouncepad was launched, and within 6 months, McDonald’s became our first major client.

Fast forward from 2010, and Bouncepads are everywhere – from shops to airports, at exhibitions, in restaurants and nightclubs. We have teams in London and Boston, servicing English, German, French, Spanish, Dutch and Greek speaking clients in over 50 countries worldwide. We’re also proud to be the only tablet enclosure brand represented in the Apple Store online in Europe.

How did we get so far so quickly? With a large dose of enthusiasm, agility and unique mix of specialists: The Bouncepad team combines design, engineering, sales, marketing, technology and business consultancy experts to achieve a deep understanding of how digital media works in the real world.

The light bulb moments are still coming thick and fast, and at the centre of the movement to innovate the retail and hospitality experience, we’re perfectly positioned to turn them into reality.
