I applaud creativity when it comes to communications, whether it
involves
digital signage or not.
Communication is all about captivating your audience and giving
them the information they want.
But where are employees most captive?
If you believe
Blogging4jobs, it's in the bathroom. Oh, yes, there are a lot
of jokes and innuendos that could be played out when talking about
communicating to employees when they are most captive.
I've always heard of companies who have allegedly done this, but
never cited real examples. I'm not even sure this one...

Many times there's information I want to share on this blog that
doesn't related directly to digital signage so I'll start sharing
them in these posts.
5 communication mistakes that are holding you
back (Forbes)
When I get into a "hot and heavy" conversation with our
corporate communication customers and propsects, we end up talking
about a lot more than just digital signage. This post highlights
some key things that communicators might be doing to hold them
back. Communicators are guilty of all of these. I know I
am. 7 habtis that make great...

I just recently came across this post from a few years back but the
11
laws of internal communications that Ken Milloy identifies are
still relevant today.
So many times, professionals back their way into
employee
communications, without ever intending that to be a career. I
know because that's what happened to me. And while I'm the last
person to suggest there should be strict guidelines or procedures
on how to implement a solid internal communication plan, Ken's 11
"laws" make a lot of sense.
Even taking a look at his first law -
The Law of...

(Today's guest entry comes
from Mike Foster,
CMO and Co-Founder of MediaTile)
Yesterday, I blogged
about the exciting activities being staged for tomorrow’s unveiling
of two new interactive digital signage hardware platforms in the
DFI TECH booth (#4583) at InfoComm 2011 – both
systems are powered by our MediaCast Video Presence system to
deliver live, 2-way video sessions over 4G. This is real 4G
digital signage!
Today, I’m pleased to report that our
MediaCast Content Management System is also
front and center at the show, powering Chilin...

CMO and Co-Founder of MediaTile)
The MediaTile team is very excited to
participate in this week’s InfoComm 2011 show in Las Vegas. This
year we’ll have “presence through partners” and an exclusive focus
on our digital signage cloud-based “software”
offerings. And we’ve got a big announcement in the works with one
our partners, DFI TECH, who will be unveiling two brand new
interactive digital signage systems that use MediaCast Video
Presence to deliver live, 2-way, face-to-face video over 4G
networks....

I get out to San Diego on Sunday for my third straight
IABC World Conference. In
my biased opinion, this event is a must-attend for corporate
communicators. I have been an IABC member for a number of years and
will continue to be for years to come.
Last year's conference took place in Toronto so it truly was an
international event. But I didn't hear anybody complaining about
heading to San Diego this year. Once again the biggest challenge
will be picking which
sessions to attend. And
while there are no sessions focused on
digital
signage, so...

A friend of mine Steven Crescenzo recently wrote a blog post called
"
The
danger of communicating too much." It's about experiences he
had with United Airlines and their insistence on playing the same
video at the start of every flight. And while I'm sure his
experience was just as annoying as he details, there's a new study
out that discusses the importance of repeating
communication.
The
study evaluated
communication styles from managers with power and managers without
power and determined the methods that were most effective. In
corporate...

Several key players in the digital signage industry have stepped up
to show support for the Red Cross and the Japan relief efforts.
With the launch of
DOOH4Relief.com,
digital signage network operators can
now download content that can be run on any company's network.
rVue created the content (embedded
below) and
Insteo created the site, along with
support from many other industry partners. Currently, anybody can
download both a 15- and
30-second PSA to run on networks in a variety of formats. Plus, if
you've created your own content, there's...

This week at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las
Vegas, MediaTile will again be making industry-breakthrough
announcements and showcasing advanced proof-of-concepts around 4G

Here in a few days, I'll be heading out to Las
Vegas for the
2011 International Consumer
Electronic Show. Or as it's known to tech geeks as just CES. Or
Heaven.
I've been to Vegas for other monster shows, but I've heard CES is a
beast all it's own.
MediaTile will be
demoing our
HumanKiosk digital
signage in a few of the booths there. We'll have a blog post put up
tomorrow with additional details where you can find our technology
if you're in attendance.
If you're not lucky enough to be in Vegas, you can keep track of
event news on Twitter by...
