Why Our “Old Habits” Turned Out to Be Best Practice

Coming from a background in the arts, where funding is often limited and resources must be used, reused, and stretched as far as possible, sustainability has never been a buzzword for acquismedia, it’s been a necessity.

For over 21 years, our practice has been rooted in making the most of what we have. Long before sustainability became a business imperative, we were already working this way by design. Today, as awareness grows and efficient use of energy and materials becomes non-negotiable at every level, we find ourselves operating a business built on what is now recognised as best practice.

Our approach to procurement is a clear example of this. Whether it’s hire and installation equipment or creative tools, our first port of call is always the used market. When we do buy new, longevity, repairability, and reuse are key factors in our decision. Materials and facilities are chosen with their full lifecycle in mind, not just their immediate use.

Energy use is often the most visible sustainability challenge, and it’s one we’ve actively addressed. Over the past six years, approximately 95% of our services have been delivered using electric vehicles. Our camera, presentation, and battery-powered equipment, along with those vehicles, are primarily charged overnight using clean energy from our supplier, reducing both emissions and peak-time demand.

For us, sustainability isn’t a new direction or a marketing line. It’s simply the continuation of how we’ve always believed creative businesses should operate: responsibly, efficiently, and with an eye on the future.

Honoring Lives, Easing Burdens: Our Journey from Live Streaming Funerals to Full-Service Celebration Support

During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, when families were unable to gather in person to say goodbye to their loved ones, we stepped in with a heartfelt mission: to help people feel together even while apart. Live streaming funerals became not just a service we offered—it became a lifeline for grieving families across the country.

Now, years later, what began as a necessity has evolved into something more meaningful. We’re proud to say that live streaming is just one part of how we help families honor the lives of their loved ones with dignity, grace, and a touch of technical ease.

Today, we regularly provide professional screens and speakers, along with beautifully produced, pre-loaded slideshow tributes that celebrate the life of the person being remembered. These are thoughtfully prepared in advance and seamlessly integrated into the ceremony, ensuring everything runs smoothly without placing extra stress on the family.

We know how overwhelming it can be to plan a funeral or memorial service. Our goal is simple: to take the hassle off the family’s shoulders, so they can focus on what matters—grieving, remembering, and celebrating a life well-lived.

Whether it’s managing the visuals, curating a moving soundtrack, or ensuring remote friends and relatives can be part of the day, our team is here to support every step of the way.

Thank you to all the families who have trusted us over the past few years. Your faith in us during some of your most difficult moments means everything. As we look ahead, we remain committed to providing compassionate, professional service that truly honors the people we’re remembering.
