About Big Sofa Technologies Group plc
Big Sofa is a B2B technology business servicing the marketing
and consumer insight industries with video analytics.
Our software platform collates, analyses and organises large
volumes of raw/unstructured video content enabling companies to
perform detailed and sophisticated consumer insight analysis; and
make genuine use of their video content.
Until recently, video has been difficult and expensive to
capture, upload, store, manage and analyse as a consumer insight
tool. However, proliferation of smart phones has empowered
consumers to speak directly to brands resulting in an evolution of
consumer insight and data analytics techniques, with video emerging
as a key platform in a massive $33 billion consumer research
market.
Big Sofa's shares are admitted to trading on the London Stock
Exchange's AIM market under the ticker BST.L.
