InnerSpace is changing how people experience the indoors.

We started InnerSpace with a goal to create the world’s biggest database of digital indoor data. We didn’t understand why indoor location data wasn’t readily accessible to businesses to create better services and solutions for employees and consumers - radically changing how we experience the indoors much the way GPS has changed how we experience the outdoors.

We created the world’s first sensor that integrates mapping, location and positioning. We call him “Johnny” and this sensor sends data to our platform where we use artificial intelligence and machine learning.

We then created a platform that offers analytics, predictive insights, productivity solutions, and customer experience apps. Our clients include some of the world’s leading technology, airline, sporting and entertainment, coworking, and food and beverage companies.

WE ENABLE COMPANIES TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEIR TWO BIGGEST RESOURCES: PEOPLE AND PROPERTY

Cerys Goodall,
CMO

Cerys is an accomplished marketing communications professional who started her career working with Neptec - a Canadian company that enabled NASA to return to space.  Cerys became skilled at navigating the relationships between the technology-provider, NASA, the CSA and the astronauts themselves to best-position Canada’s role in the historic event. This work, led Cerys to build a career working with technology startups seeking international growth including CAE’s Presagis, BTI Systems, NGRAIN, Freshbooks, Kobo and LEAGUE.

At global eReading giant Kobo, Cerys built an international team with localized integrated marketing communications programs across public relations, community relations, partner relations, and digital media. Under her guidance and strategic positioning of the company, Kobo catapulted from Canadian-darling, to global success in her first year. When Mike Serbinis exited Kobo to build his next startup, LEAGUE, Cerys joined the team as VP of Marketing to launch the company. Building its brand, consumer base, digital marketing experience, and Serbinis’ own Think Bigger narrative, LEAGUE’s brand was ideally positioned for a successful $25M USD Series A in less than two years.

At InnerSpace, Cerys is responsible for developing the company’s brand and product position, as well as leading the product delivery, professional services, and client services teams. Her love of storytelling, combined with the team’s data-driven analysis of their businesses, results in highly engaged clients focused on transforming their business.
