Quick Cast - We Are Turning Inside CI Into A Global Home For Industry Stories

A studio build is fun, but the bigger idea is even better: we’re creating a place where the AV industry can actually talk like humans. We start with a quick walk-through of Studio One at our East Sussex head office, which will become part of a two-studio setup designed for unboxings, first looks, interviews, and reviews. It’s not finished yet, and we’re honest about that, but the direction is clear: make better, more useful content for systems integrators and AV professionals.

Then we pivot to the real reason we jumped into your feed: InsideCI.co.uk has two must-read articles from Darren at Cinema Lux and Mike at DirectlyAV. They recently travelled to Mumbai and visited an expo, meeting new people, business partners, and brands along the way. Trade shows shape what happens next in professional AV, home cinema, and custom installation, and firsthand notes like these are often more valuable than a press release because they capture what it actually felt like on the ground.

We also lay out what we want Inside CI to become: not just advertising and headline news, but a global industry platform where integrators, distributors, manufacturers, and anyone in the AV world can share stories, lessons, and lived experiences, whether they’re smooth wins or hard days. If you’ve ever read something and thought, “OK, it’s not just me,” that’s the feeling we want to create more of. Please visit insideci.co.uk, share your thoughts, and if you want to write or submit news, email hello@insideci.com. Then subscribe, share, and leave a review so more industry voices find the conversation.

Welcome To The New Studio Space

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Hi, and thank you for clicking on the video. Welcome to what will be Studio One down inside CI's head office in East Sussex. Studio One is going to be part of two studios: the small studio, which we're in now, and then the bigger one, which is going to be next door. This is a place for people to come and do unboxings, to do interviews, to do reviews, to do first looks. But as you can see, it's not particularly ready yet. So let's get on to the real reason for taking up your feed this morning. I want you to pop over to insideci.co.uk. Two really good friends, Darren from Cinema Lux and Mike from DirectlyAV, have written two fantastic articles about their recent trip out to Mumbai and to the expo out there. The wonderful people they met, the wonderful business partners they met, and the wonderful brands they met. So please go along, have a read. They're relatively short articles. It's a good morning read with a cup of coffee and let us know your thoughts. Also, I want Inside CI to be a platform for the industry. Not just about advertising, not just about the latest news stories, but a platform where integrators, distributors, manufacturers, anybody in our industry can tell us your story, whether it's good or bad, whether it's right or wrong, tell us your story about being in this industry. I want InsideCI to be a platform for everybody in this industry to read all those bits and pieces and to read about things that are going on and maybe come across the odd article where they're thinking, okay, it's not just me. So look, pop over to insideci.co.uk. If you want to get involved in it, email me at hello at insideci.com. This is just not a UK thing, this is a global thing. So it's open to anybody who's watching this video. If you want to write an article, please let me know. If you've got news, please let me know. If you've got anything that you think could go on the InsideCI website, let me know. We've got loads of stuff going up daily, but I want to get some stuff like Darren and Mike have written, some personal content, some journeys, some experiences. Maybe you're going out to Denver like me, hopefully, for the first time this year. So reach out, hello at insideci.com, visit insideci.co.uk and look, let's make this platform about us. Make it about the integrators, the professionals in this industry. Have a great week, and I will speak to you on the next video.
