Newport Now (BID)

In 2012 Newport Explorer went live – digital heritage, oral history and dynamic (performative) mapping of the city’s landmarks, industries and heroes.

In 2016 Newport is upgrading! With a new look Platform, improved functionality and even more ideas, the Newport Now Business Improvement District (BID) is looking to extend its digital scope.

Capitalising on the city’s new free WiFi, the existing content is updated and enhanced with a strong ‘digital welcome’ to the shops immediately around the visitor; information about new lines, special offers, marketing and PR, customer support and more.

Newport, one of the UK’s leading smartphone-friendly locations.
