Company mission

To change the way TV is viewed outside of the home and to give brands a new way to connect with consumers.

30% employee growth in 12 months

Our take

The rise of content consumerism has left many with very short attention spans. It’s suggested that TikTok and Instagram reels are so successful because of the average 15 second video time. Easy bitesize content has become a much loved pastime and this is where Atmosphere TV has found a space in the TV market. Atmosphere is a streaming service providing an alternative to cable TV for businesses.

The platform provides businesses (like salons, bars and airports) a free TV service with weekly refreshed content including audio free options from YouTube, TikTok and more with no storyline to follow, a feature that is super appealing for many businesses that don’t want or can’t have the volume up. The company provides free streaming in exchange to run free advertising between programmes. The young start-up is already boasting statistics like a 14% increase in business for companies using Atmosphere TV and 19% increase in guests in the 45,000 venues across 35 countries.

The company raised $100 million in funding and grew from 75 to 260 employees in 2021. In 2022 Atmosphere grew to over 500 and acquired new funding to support growth plans. Alongside the success of the company’s work (in 2024 announcing its broadcasting of the X Winter Sports Games), Atmosphere has been named one of the Best Places to Work in Austin 2 years in a row by Built.
