Regular readers will be solidly at the “Yeah, Yeah, Dave, got it” stage when it comes to me going on about the importance of marketing videos in a video driven business (and how few do it). But, I’ll keep going on about it until it becomes commonplace, instead of rare. […]
A reminder that I am in Dubai this week, so posts will be sporadic, at best. My quick impressions. Very curious place. […]
Christie has announced its acquisition of Allure Global Solutions, the Atlanta software and services firm that has been largely focused on signage and POS systems for the cinema and sports and entertainment industries. The company will now be known as Allure, a Christie Company. […]
When start-up digital signage software and solutions companies ask me for advice on how to go to market, I tend to STRONGLY encourage them to find a vertical market and make it their own. I don’t know the folks at EYECHRONIC.TV, but I have to admire how they’ve identified an emerging vertical and gone all-in to serve it. […]
A new study by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health suggests U.S.-based chain restaurants that voluntarily list calorie counts on their menus are compelling diners to eat less, something that arguably backs up the federal edict to get calorie counts on all US fast food menus by the end of next year. […]
People who know me a bit know that I tend to often talk about the mystifyingly short list of companies that specialize in creative, in an industry that goes on endlessly about content being king. […]
Denver’s Four Winds Interactive showed off its new digs last night, as the kickoff to its 2-day conference called Forward. The place is a BIG step up on the funky but overcrowded place the company was in the last few years, and wildly removed from the old house the guys who were there in the early days vacated on weekends so it could be rented out for functions. […]
Creative Realities has found lenders and therefore pulled the finances together to complete the acquisition of the digital signage deployment firm ConeXus World Global, turning ConeXus into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. […]
A Utah-based signage software company has taken the interesting and questionable step of buying and registering the unused domain suffixes of many key competitors. […]
One look at the movies and a listen to the radio when you’re in another country will confirm suspicions that interests and tastes vary around the globe, and the same holds true for advertising, according to new Nielsen research. […]
Four Winds Interactive is having its first big conference in Denver next week – an event called Forward that is something of a departure from typical software company events that are mostly about product education, sales and contract retention. The agenda for this event is instead populated mainly by outside speakers, albeit most of them partners or major customers. […]
Montreal’s Newad has announced plans to grow into what would be one of the largest digital OOH networks in Canada, with a goal of 4,000 digital ad boards switched on by the end of 2016. That announcement comes several weeks after Newad acquired the majority of Zoom Media’s major networks in Canada. […]
The PRN brand is back in the wake of the acquisition of the shopper marketing firm by STRATACACHE. That means the team based in San Francisco will toss out its IZ-ON Media business cards and letterhead and once again use the PRN handle, which was and maybe still is short for Premier Retail Networks. […]
The CorpComm Expo and EduComm Expo – both of them spin-offs from the mother ship Digital Signage Expo – were run for the first time last week in Atlanta, at the Georgia World Congress Center. I didn’t go, and was off all last week, so I sent a few emails around to get a sense of how the events came off. […]
Big congratulations to my friends down at the newly re-branded Freshwater Digital, the Grand Rapids, Michigan agency and solutions provider known for several years by the mouthful title of Freshwater Digital Media Partners. The new, tighter brand has been launched as the company makes some other moves. […]
