Guest Post: Rodolfo Saccoman, AdMobilize Saccoman I love AdWeek in NYC; it always exudes elevated levels of “thinking collisions per capita” in the advertising industry. Obviously, I am not siloed on being bullish about the growth projections of outdoor advertising and digital signage. […]
The California start-up that turns motor vehicle license plates into part-time digital signs is now testing in Sacramento, using monochromatic electronic ink screens to show everything from the plate number and registration status to ads for car manufcaturers and stolen vehicle notices for police.

Guest Post: Joe Rabah, RMG Networks Imagine that as you enter an airport, there is a personalized message welcoming you, and then further tailored messaging accompanies you throughout your shop, bar and restaurant visits. Then it finally directs you to your departure gate, where you arrive fully informed and having enjoyed a variety of targeted promotions along the way. […]
There’s a pile of useful data in the presentation deck investment banker Mark Boidman did this morning at the Geopath/OAAA conference and expo in Austin. Boidman, if you don’t know him, closely tracks the digital OOH industry and the company he works for, PJ Solomon, does a lot of M&A advisory work in the sector. He kindly and very helpfully posted a PDF version online here. […]
I was at the LVCC this morning moderating a panel for the Digital OOH summit ahead at Digital Signage Expo, and had a look in some of the other rooms that also have pre-show conferences. My thinking, and the conventional wisdom, was that there’s a lot of pre-show stuff shaking, and are there enough people to fill those various rooms. […]

I was in Chicago on Tuesday, one stop in a series over the next few weeks, doing an industry overview talk to end-users for Samsung’s display team.

Toulouse, France-based IntuiLab, which markets the easy-use IntuiFace interactive digital signage software, has announced the closing of $3.7M in Series A funding from a set of investors. […]
There is so much fine pitch LED stuff going in as video walls these days that it is easy to forget about other ways of doing a big digital canvas, like projection. This is a project in Seattle in a building owned by Starbuck’s – but it is NOT the head office, just commercial property the coffee giant owns. […]
Miami’s AdMobilize has done a partnership deal that will see itsAI-based audience analytics and reporting capabilities running on out of home media properties that run off Ayuda Media Systems software. […]
Sony is reportedly planning to introduce an interactive digital signage platform at CES in Las Vegas in January that mashes up gesture sensors, augmented reality, audience analytics and signage. The Sony MITENE system has been around in Japan for several years, but a new 4K version will be shown and marketed in North America. […]
Anyone who’s been to Las Vegas is familiar with the giant marquee displays that line the Strip in front of hotels, as well as the LED billboards along the roads running to the strip from the airport and elsewhere. Normally, they’re visual riots promoting entertainers, restaurants and clubs. […]
The plan for the Digital Signage Federation’s annual Coffee and Controversy breakfast event during New York City Digital Signage Week now appears to be set, with three sessions instead of the one (could be wrong, never been) usually done. There’s a Global Perspective on Digital Signage thing, then one on Digital OOH, and then a presentation by Google (Chris Lydle, I think). […]
One of the InfoComm Big Canvas sessions I put together last week in Orlando took an in-depth look at the massive video wall steadily being put in place at Orlando’s primary airport. […]
Chinese display manufacturers make and market container ship-loads of TVs for the North American consumer market, but they haven’t really shown up in the commercial display market and digital signage. […]
