About Sam Cook

Meet Sam Cook, the maverick pushing the boundaries of outdoor media and cutting-edge technologies. From wrapping buildings with colossal posters to introducing groundbreaking PVC digital printing in the UK, Sam's journey is a testament to innovation and entrepreneurship. After an adventurous stint working on private yachts in the South of France and Spain, Sam founded his first company, Scaffoltising Ltd, in 1989, making waves in the outdoor arena. His knack for disruptive ideas led him to become the second person in Europe to wrap a building with a giant poster during refurbishments, setting a new standard for eye-catching advertising. As the print side of his business expanded, Sam ventured into partnerships with international players like MetroMedia Technologies Inc, championing their unique systems from 1990 to 1997. He then secured an agency agreement for a PVC tensioning system from France, revolutionizing the outdoor advertising industry with higher yields and lower operational costs. In a bold move, Sam merged Urban Storm with global printing giant Prismaflex in 2011, leaving an indelible mark on the industry before exiting in July 2017, while retaining the Urban Storm brand and patents. From early armed with a wealth of practical experience, Sam registered worldwide patents and launched Urban Storm, a company dedicated to designing innovative light boxes and frames for outdoor advertising. With a focus on quality and ingenuity, Urban Storm quickly gained traction, earning patents and trademarks for its advertising display systems. After Prismaflex UrbanStorm became the main Distributor for the struggling Lighthouse LED screen provider for the last 6 years, which has enabled a full turnaround of the brand perception and the handover to the Bauer Group based in Germany, now the Exclusive Distributor. Never one to rest on his laurels, Sam is now spearheading Titchfield Media Ltd, expansion into digital printing and communications. Based in a state of the art facility in Cardiff with a 30strong team and over 750 years industry experience. Titchfield Group are focussing on the OOH market and expanding vertically with our clientele into the LED Digital transformation that is currently in full swing. With a relentless drive for innovation and a penchant for pushing boundaries, Sam Cook continues to shape the landscape of outdoor media and technology, leaving an enduring legacy of creativity and ingenuity.
