Projects: Daimler Trucks’ New HQ Includes 59-wide Wrap-Around Video Wall

I’ve written many times how this is a visual, video-driven medium, and who I was puzzled that so few marketing videos are developed to show off projects. They cost real money, sure, but not anywhere as much as many people think. So here’s one that does a very nice job of showing what was done at the new Daimler Trucks North America headquarters building in Portland, Oregon. […]

16:9: Digital Signage Goes To Another Kitchen

Here’s a different take on the idea of putting digital signage in private homes. Cassidy Smirnow is Senior VP of Operations at Denver’s Four Winds Interactive, and as a result, knows here way around the platform and the idea of building and publishing a layout to a display. For the last couple of years she has been tweaking what she calls a Home Sign, installed in her kitchen. […]

Worth Watching: Select Videos Up From Four Winds’ Forward Conference

Four Winds Interactive did a very nice, polished job last fall with Forward, a two-day conference in hometown Denver that went well beyond the typical software company user conference.

How Four Winds Used Own Product To Boost Morale, Culture And Employee Engagement

If there was a highlight for me from last week’s Forward conference in Denver, it was probably the opening session run by David Levin, the CEO of Four Winds Interactive, which put the event on.
