Project Snapshot

Corner Corner is one of London’s most exciting multi-purpose destinations, bringing together food, culture, community, events and experiences under one roof. 

As the venue evolved, its ambition extended beyond simply delivering great experiences. Our clients Kerb and Broadwick wanted to better understand how visitors used the space, how events influenced footfall, and how data could support smarter operational and commercial decisions. 

Having already partnered with Noba to deploy a venue-wide connectivity and CCTV infrastructure (add link to case study), Corner Corner was ideally positioned to take the next step. 

Corner Corner

 

The Challenge 

Building on Existing Connectivity

Like many modern venues, Corner Corner had access to operational data but lacked meaningful insight into visitor behaviour. 

Questions included: 

  • How many people are actually visiting the venue?  
  • Which days, times and events generate the highest footfall?  
  • How long are visitors staying?  
  • Which audience demographics are being attracted?  
  • How effective are marketing campaigns and event programmes?  
  • How can staffing, security and operations be optimised?  
  • How can sponsors and stakeholders be shown measurable value?  

 

The venue needed more than connectivity. 

It needed intelligence. 

 

The Solution 

Deploying CrowdSense Analytics

Noba deployed CrowdSense Analytics across the venue, building on the network and CCTV infrastructure already installed as part of the wider digital transformation project. 

Using AI-powered video analytics and camera technology, CrowdSense transforms visitor activity into actionable data and live operational insight.  

The result is a single platform that delivers real-time visibility into how visitors move, engage and interact with the venue throughout the day. 

Understanding Visitor Behaviour

Live Footfall Monitoring

One of the most immediate benefits of CrowdSense is accurate visitor counting. 

The platform provides: 

  • Live visitor numbers  
  • Daily footfall reporting  
  • Historical visitor trends  
  • Hourly visitor analysis  
  • Rolling attendance data  

 

This allows Corner Corner to understand exactly how busy the venue is at any given moment while also identifying long-term trends and seasonal patterns.  

Rather than relying on estimates, decisions can now be made using real visitor data. 

Demographic Insights

Understanding visitor numbers is only part of the picture. 

CrowdSense also provides demographic insights, helping the venue build a clearer understanding of its audience. 

Available reporting includes: 

  • Average visitor age  
  • Age group segmentation  
  • Demographic breakdowns  

These insights help inform: 

  • Event programming  
  • Marketing strategy  
  • Brand partnerships  
  • Sponsorship opportunities  
  • Commercial decision-making  

 

For venues seeking to attract specific audiences or demonstrate audience quality to partners, this data is invaluable.  

 

Dwell Time Analysis

How long visitors stay is often a stronger indicator of engagement than footfall alone. 

CrowdSense provides: 

  • Average dwell time  
  • Dwell time trends  
  • Visitor engagement reporting  
  • Historical dwell analysis  

 

This allows the Corner Corner team to understand: 

  • Which events encourage longer stays  
  • Which areas are performing best  
  • When visitors are most engaged  
  • How venue changes impact behaviour  

 

The result is a clearer picture of what creates successful visitor experiences.  

Crowd Density & Operational Intelligence

CrowdSense is not simply a reporting tool. 

It also provides operational intelligence that helps venues manage safety and visitor flow in real time. 

Capabilities include: 

  • Crowd density monitoring  
  • Capacity alerts  
  • Queue management insights  
  • Visitor flow analysis  

This enables the venue team to respond proactively to busy periods, improve crowd management and enhance the overall visitor experience.  

For venues, expo organisers or brands hosting events, activations and large public gatherings, this layer of operational visibility can be just as valuable as the commercial insight. 

 

Measuring Event Performance

The platform gives stakeholders access to live and historic performance data through intuitive dashboards and reporting tools. 

Features include: 

  • Real-time dashboards  
  • Custom reporting  
  • Alert notifications  
  • Data export and sharing  

 

Whether reviewing live event performance or producing reports for management, sponsors or partners, information is instantly accessible and easy to interpret.

Venue Dwell Time Analytics

Demonstrating Event and Sponsorship ROI 

One of the most powerful benefits of CrowdSense is its ability to help venues demonstrate measurable value. 

By combining footfall, dwell time and demographic data, Corner Corner can better understand: 

  • Event performance  
  • Audience engagement  
  • Visitor quality  
  • Commercial impact  
  • Sponsorship value  

 

This allows reporting to move beyond anecdotal feedback and into evidence-based decision making.  

 

Why the Existing Infrastructure Mattered 

Many analytics projects require significant additional infrastructure investment. 

Corner Corner already had a solid foundation. 

Noba had previously delivered: 

  • Venue-wide managed connectivity  
  • Enterprise-grade network infrastructure  
  • CCTV infrastructure  
  • Operational networking across the site  

 

Because CrowdSense could leverage this existing digital ecosystem, deployment was fast, scalable and future-proof. 

This demonstrates an important principle: 

The best venue analytics platforms are built on strong connectivity foundations. 

Without reliable infrastructure, meaningful insight becomes far harder to achieve.
