Our Software as a Service Solution
Think of EXPO365 as a leading-edge mobile and video-first marketing platform that acts like a 24/7 trade and careers fair, with the best features from platforms like YouTube and Rightmove, designed to create a vibrant business cluster showcasing your business network via branded microsites in an innovative new way. You brand and name the platform according to your organisation. It’s your decision, your choice.
Your network effortlessly creates, edits, and shares branded video-first mobile apps (microsites), creating an additional marketing channel attracting new B2B sales prospects while connecting with B2Talent, potential talented employees, interns, apprentices or work-experience students.
EXPO365 is a SaaS licenced platform, delivered as a white-label Progressive Web App (PWA) with a “mobile and video-first” approach. Here are just a few more reasons for getting in touch with us.
Philip, our founder, has a history of being involved with innovative and disruptive technologies, and we believe EXPO365 is another one.

The concept for EXPO365 emerged during Philip’s daughter’s career advice at school. This experience, combined with extensive research, highlighted the HUGE gap in business awareness, and that most sectors are largely invisible to the public, exacerbating the skills crisis. Moreover, it became evident that there is a stark lack of online resources for career advisors, hindering their ability to effectively inspire, inform, and connect young people with diverse career opportunities and employers.
Aware that any successful platform must primarily deliver both B2B and B2C benefits, Philip conducted extensive research into existing B2B online assets. This investigation revealed a significant opportunity: the potential to merge the strengths of a trade fair and a career fair into a single, cohesive platform. This innovative approach would address the needs of businesses and consumers alike, creating a dynamic and multifaceted solution.
The EXPO365 platform finally came together following 100% positive feedback from all the identified stakeholders via our prototyping stage. It took thousands of hours to reach the MVP stage, and now we look forward to helping thousands of organisations sell the best version of themselves and save time and money attracting prospects and talent.
