The DOT ecosystem relies on a "Push and Pull" distribution model:

Dot entertainment content refers to any media built for, distributed through, and optimized by digital infrastructure. It bridges the gap between old-school broadcasting and modern internet ecosystems.

This UK-based company specializes in creating immersive, multi-sensory entertainment adventures that blur the line between narrative and reality. Its flagship experiences combine elements of live theatre, virtual reality (VR), and iconic music to craft interactive narrative adventures for their audiences.
