Urban Media

Unlocking AI for your business — same team, one roof

We audit first, then build the whole system — every step, done for you. This is the dot-com boom again, twenty years on, and just as easy to miss if you wait.

01 No more AI bolted onto a broken process

02 No more records split across five tools

03 No more procedures living in one person's head

04 No more handovers with nobody trained to run it

05 No more fees and follow-up chased by hand

Why us

Most AI projects fail the same way. Here is what we do instead.

Typical AI project
Urban Media
Starts with
A demo and a login
A real audit of how you actually run
Built by
A dev shop with a template
A real creative studio, design and media included
Scope
One tool bolted on
The whole system, front to back
The model
A public model on your data
Claude, wired into our own system
The craft
Generated and shipped
Human judgment on everything that goes out
When it breaks
Your problem
Documented, trained, supported

What the audit finds

The system researches you and reads your files before you ever meet. The leaks are already on the table by the first conversation.

We run it for you. Reviewed by a real person, kept current, never dumped in your lap.

Prices shown are placeholders while we finalise packaging. The audit sizes your real scope and quote.

Everything captured

Every policy, every number, every bit of history goes into one brain your team can search. Nothing lives in someone's head after we leave.

Where are we actually losing money?

Answer

See it live

A hand-built copy of the same system we run our own studio on — Dashboard, Tasks, Calendar, Jobs, Files, Clients, Invoices. Search, check things off, click into a card, mark an invoice paid — it responds.

How we run it

One team owns the whole thing. Here is what that actually means.

01

Our infrastructure

Your system runs on infrastructure we own and manage. Own database, own automations, own AI brain. Not bolted onto whatever you had lying around.

02

Run and reviewed by us

You do not get handed a login and a manual. We operate it, a real person checks what goes out, and your team just uses the result.

03

It stays with us

This is not a zip file we email you. It keeps working because we keep running it. That is what the retainer covers.

FAQ

No — the audit runs first, we rebuild around what it actually finds.

No. Claude runs inside our own system, not a public model trained on your data.

Only if you want to — or we train your team to run it.

Ten real steps, audit to handover, each one reviewed before the next starts.

One fixed number, set by a real audit. Never an hourly clock.

Yes. You know your business — we unlock the AI.

Yes. We are a media company too, so content runs through the same system.

How pricing works

One fixed price. Never an hourly clock.

01 · What sets the number

Which engagement you pick, how much your systems need rebuilding, and how much data needs migrating.

02 · When you find out

The audit scopes the exact work first. You get one number before anything starts.

03 · What you can pick

Full delivery, a standalone audit, or hands on training for your own team.

Learning AI with us

Most of what you hear about AI is hype or dread. We write plainly about what actually works for a business like yours and what doesn't, based on what we build every day, not what's trending.
