It is the responsibility of the art consultant to inspire and nurture the art acquisition process with vision, pride and attention to every detail. DAC Hospitality is devoted to the world of art and your place in it. Our consultants delight in collaboration with those who share a desire to enhance an environment with appropriately selected artwork. We achieve this with the utmost expertise honoring function, design and budget. Our position as leaders in the field allows us to access a wealth of art and framing resources to suit every need. Each project is an opportunity to enliven a design with the perfect artwork for the space. We engage our clients with great openness and enthusiasm, as no venture is too small.
At DAC Hospitality, our strength lies in assisting our clients in identifying objectives for procuring an art program specific to their needs.
Believing that an art program should always reflect the vision of a project we view our clients as partners in the creative process. Often, we are invited to participate early during a project’s inception in order to provide planning and coordinate services at a time when the best options are still available. The DAC art consultant is the industry vanguard in locating the right artwork for the spectrum of possible applications. Our full scope of services ensures that our clients receive professional and personal attention every step of the way.
Selection and Acquisition
Our firm maintains a significant network of resources for artwork. We routinely collaborate with many artists which allow us to oversee commissions that are project specific. Our consultants are a team of keenly insightful business professionals ready to research special project requirements, whether it is regional, contemporary or traditional in scope. Since we understand the importance of hands-on viewing we can easily arrange for an art presentation at a location of your choosing.

"We chose to work with Engage as their experience with sports and blue-chip sites speaks for itself. We're delighted with how the relationship has developed; their ability to understand our requirements has been key to meeting some incredibly tight deadlines and the proactive approach Dave and Alex take has helped us exceed our initial ambitions."
Matthew Taylor | Head of Online

- Client: At The races
- Sector: Commercial, media
- Delivered: Design, Build, Javascript
At The Races is a TV Channel partly owned by Sky, and shown on their network. They wanted a redesign to freshen up the site, add new features and create more commercial opportunities.
We produced all of the design and HTML/Javascript build, before handing it over to the Sky team in Harrogate for development. This was a very complex project, essentially working for two clients and producing work that had to balance the various design, content, accessibility and commercial requirements.

"Dave, Alex and the guys at Engage always deliver. Having worked with them over a number of years I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who wants an agency that always goes that extra little bit further. The Propaganda site was developed in double-quick time but is robust and flexible enough to serve our needs for years to come."

Marketing themselves as a new style of strategic and creative agency, Propaganda seem to be doing something right judging from their client list and impressive portfolio. We helped them shout this success from the rooftops by delivering them a megaphone... oh, and also threw in brand new site build and content management system through which they can do a whole load of fancy things.

"Since the launch of our new Blushbaby website a few months ago, it's made a huge difference to our company and our sales have improved massively! Setting up the website has been the best decision we have made to date, and working with everyone at Engage Interactive has been easy, stress free and a total pleasure!"

- Sector: Retail

Blushbaby, based in Cardiff, is a traditional 'Bricks and Mortar' company selling high quality designer clothing. They wanted to increase their sales via the internet, but the website had to reflect the look and feel of their exclusive, high end products.
We worked with Mister, who designed the site, to build a bespoke solution on our own platform that allowed them to manage their product database whilst retaining a very distinct look and feel that's a million miles away from the usual 'off the shelf' eCommerce packages.

Arc Inspirations run a number of highly successful bars in the North of England and also have a number of highly popular websites to go with them thanks to the work we've done for them over the last few years.
With each bar unique in it's style and atmosphere each website was also required to follow a similar approach which has resulted in a lovely mix of flavours. A bit like a bag of Haribo.

Working with our favourite Manchunians, Hemisphere (who've done a great job on the overall Staying Cool rebrand by the way!) we took their designs, worked some magic (not in the Harry Potter sense) and delivered a sophisticated-looking, standards-compliant site that meets all current accessibility legislation. They've since gone on to win an award for the 'Best Serviced Apartments Manchester 2008' as well so the proof's in pudding on this one.

Another great Hemisphere / Engage collaboration, this time for the Preston Museums consortium, promoting 5 different museums to families. Hemisphere developed the campaign approach and asked us to bring the set of cheeky characters to life in flash along with creating an assortment of other fun games for kids to do on the site - though we'd argue they're just as much fun for aduts too based on the amount of use they got in the studio!
