The Canopy Creative advantage

Beyond Campaigns: Unit9 focuses primarily on brand campaigns and marketing activations. Canopy delivers lasting installations, training solutions, and permanent experiences alongside campaign work.
Hardware & Physical Integration: Canopy designs, sources, and installs the complete hardware stack — LED, projection, sensors, kiosks — while Unit9 typically focuses on the digital content layer.
Specialist Immersive Focus: As a dedicated immersive studio, Canopy brings deeper technical expertise in projection mapping, hologram technology, LED volume stages, and digital twins.
APAC Delivery: Canopy provides local delivery and support in the Asia-Pacific region, avoiding the timezone and logistics challenges of working with a UK-based agency.

Choose Canopy Creative when you need more than a campaign — when your project involves physical hardware, permanent installations, or deep technical integration. Canopy combines Unit9-level creative quality with specialist immersive technology expertise and the hardware delivery capabilities that digital agencies don't offer.
