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. […]
A&W Food Services of Canada Inc, or A&W as we’re going to call them, has announced it is going digital with its menus at the roughly 850 stores across the Frozen North. The rollout has already started, running on software and services, like creative, from Cineplex Digital Networks, aka EK3. […]
It is fairly remarkable that a teeny little tech sector like digital signage has 100s of software options for doing variations on the same thing, and even more remarkable that as observers like me steadily suggest the numbers will thin out, they instead keep growing! I don’t get it. […]
Via Av Magazine Here’s an interesting spin on projection mapping, that addresses what to do about the marketing investment when the sun is up.

I’m speaking at a Customer Engagement Technology Conference in a couple of weeks in Dubai. It’s one of those places I’ve wanted to see, and also a place that I gather has a lot shaking in the digital signage sector. My talk is Nov. […]

NEC had its annual showcase event last week in New York, a tw0-day micro-show that lets integrators and end-users have a focused look at its own latest pots and plans, as well as complementary products used by partners.
