Cue 01 · The running order

Nine crafts. One stagecraft.

Every installation we build draws on the same bench of skills — from tech to content, we deliver the complete package. Here is the running order.

  1. Motion Graphics

    Show graphics, kinetic type, and title sequences designed to move — on screens, LED walls, and mapped architectural surfaces, timed to the sound and light of the space they play in.

  2. 3D Animation

    From short product videos to long-form 3D productions, we model, light, and render animation at any length — and deliver it ready for the venue, the web, or the wall.

  3. Architectural Visualization

    Your creations deserve to be presented with maximum impact. We call it hyper-realistic because we craft a visual experience more real than you're imagining right now — let your imagination take off and we'll do the rest.

  4. Video Editing

    Cut, color, and sound for experiential work: venue demos, event films, and screen content where the pacing has to match the room it plays in.

  5. Experience Design

    Virtual tours, mobile apps, simulations, HTML5 web apps, and touchscreen and display-wall applications — interactivity that puts the viewer in control and turns an audience into participants.

  6. Solutions Engineering

    The technical spine behind the spectacle. We design well-built, scalable systems regardless of the size — or number — of venues you need to outfit.

  7. Graphic Design

    Websites, apps, brochures, business cards, publications, mailers, posters, billboards — we've pretty much designed it all, and it keeps every surface of your experience speaking one visual language.

  8. Virtual Reality

    VR is carrying science-fiction dreams into practical use far beyond gaming and entertainment. We build truly immersive experiences — walkthroughs, previews, and headset pieces in their own right — sure to captivate your audience.

  9. Experiential Retail

    We transform retail locations with immersive, interactive experiences — full sound, lighting, and video control for a shopping trip that feels like a show.

Leadership

The people behind the build.

Two disciplines, one room: the engineering that makes an installation work, and the operations that make it land on schedule.

    Chief Technology Officer

    Terry Ferguson

    Terry Ferguson owns the technology behind every AdsWork installation — from the firmware on the wall to the platform behind it.

    An entrepreneur and software engineer with more than 20 years of programming experience, Terry builds robust, scalable systems across embedded, full-stack, and large-scale data platforms. That range is what an immersive build demands: a show floor is a distributed system with a deadline, where microcontrollers, media servers, and cloud services have to agree in real time.

    That work has included software development for embedded technologies on behalf of U.S. Department of Defense contractors, among them drone platforms for the U.S. Navy — an environment where reliability and discipline are the specification, not a preference. It has also included custom lighting systems for SG Armaturen, the Scandinavian lighting manufacturer: fixtures and controls that have to behave the same way on the thousandth night as on the first. He designs for the conditions the work actually runs in: maintainable architecture, observability, and performance under load and over time.

    His current work extends that bench into applied AI: computer vision, MCP server development, GraphRAG retrieval, and LLM harness development — the tooling that lets an installation respond to what it sees and who is in the room.
