Design to Production, Australia’s leader in small-format digital signage for retail, has secured a major partnership with Leadlease under its Managed Services offering, adding over 200 assets across their shopping centre portfolio.
This partnership comes as Australian centre operators look to reduce operational complexity, increase digital network reliability, and improve both advertiser and customer experience across their portfolios. Design to Production has been building a name for itself as an end-to-end digital signage service provider for the last 10 years, specialising in the retail media sector. Offering 24/7 in-house technical support, remote monitoring, proactive maintenance, content management, and rapid-response servicing – backed by its in-house National Operations Centre (NOC), it’s hard to compete with Design to Production’s specialisation and knowledge of small-format networks.
“We’re seeing a real shift in retail OOH media, the granularity of executions, screen format variety and content executions are becoming more unique,” said Joshua Day, Director of Digital Assets. “For that, you need the right level of network support. Our clients know we’re across every screen, every second, and that we have the systems in place to deliver consistently at scale.”
“Our Managed Services model has been tried and tested to maximise uptime and offer peace of mind,” said Mick Blundell, General Manager at Design to Production. “We’re not just installing screens, we’re keeping them online, on-brand, and delivering content at the right time, day in and day out.”
A Proven Track Record in Retail
Design to Production has been steadily scaling its Managed Services offering in line with the digital evolution of retail environments. The company already supports networks for Cartology (Woolworths Group), Australian Outdoor Media, and other leading retail brands, and the addition of Lendlease further reinforces its position as a trusted partner for complex, high-volume rollouts.
The Lendlease partnership is a flagship agreement in Design to Production’s Managed Services offering as leaders in not only design and installation, but also maintenance and optimisation. For the best customer experience, Design to Production developed dpEMS, it’s proprietary telemetry device, which enables remote diagnosis, fast triage, and predictive maintenance to catch issues before they impact display performance.
As the retail sector leans further into digitising the shopper experience, Design to Production is positioning itself not only as a supplier, but as a long-term partner in the evolving landscape of in-centre media.
