About PTI

PTI is a strategy and technology consultancy that helps sport and live entertainment businesses grow profitability. Our approach combines the revolutionary vision of our Digital Transformation Pyramid with an evolutionary approach. Many of our team have worked client-side and understand the realities of the day-to-day pressures, so we recognise that whilst the endgame is genuinely transformational, we need to move at their pace. PTI Digital Transformation Pyramid Our clients have all started their journey with us on different parts of the pyramid but placing short term needs into the context of a broader long-term roadmap enables discussions about “cost” to become discussions about “investment”. Whereas many rush into the “what?” PTI always start with “Why?” Current PTI Clients include: Arsenal, Everton, Goodwood, Coventry Building Society Arena, Bristol Sport & Ashton Gate Stadium, Premiership Rugby, Six Nations, Oak View Group, Ascot and many more. We have an agile, fast growing digital-age business, with an ever-expanding client base.
