Digital Signage for Education

Later this week, MediaTile has a cool opportunity to be part an internal event with Draftfcb this Thursday in Chicago. They invited us, along with 19 other companies, to show off what we do and educate them on how our digital signage solution can help their clients.  Read More »

This is our first time at the National Restaurant Association's annual show and we're excited about it. AT&T invited us to be in their booth (#5666) and we're thrilled to be a welcomed guest. Please stop by the booth to learn more about how our digital signage can help your business.

We've laid our claim to cellular digital signage and we're confident that NRA attendees will be impressed with what we have to show them.

I am far from a restaurant business expert (aside from liking to eat at them), but from what I've been told, there are many...Read More »

As I wrote last month, the MediaTile sales team is committed to providing free educational opportunities and we're doing this through a series of free webinars. The next is this coming Thursday. Here's this month's topic.

Digital signage is an effective and increasingly common way to reach buyers.  After making the investment in the right technology, brands need to take a closer look at the content on the screens to make sure that the investment isn't lost. 

Successful digital signage has what we at MediaTile like to call "contextual relevance."...Read More »

This never became more apparent than at this year's Digital Signage Expo. What once appeared to be a very siloed industry has now had walls knocked down. We have media and digital signage providers interacting. Competitors are even commenting on each other's blogs and referencing each other's content. This is sort of a Kumbaya / watershed moment for the industry.

This is what social media is all about. Not only extending the reach of our content but also creating new avenues of sharing this content. And because the industry is still very much in...Read More »

I didn't attend Digital Signage Expo in 2009 but I was here back in 2008. It's amazing how much the show has changed AND improved in those two years. Exhibitors are more prepared and, most importantly, attendees are much more educated.

I had a great time leading the Corporate Communication Lunch & Learn and I hope the attendees got more out of it than a boxed lunch (though it was pretty tasty). What I enjoyed was that it wasn't just corp comm pros who attended. There were IT professionals, purchasing representatives and general managers there...Read More »

Those of us who find ourselves spending most of the work day online (in one capacity or another) are aware of the power and effectiveness of social networking - but just as important is the power of traditional networking.  Industry organizations such as the Digital Signage Association (DSA) provide like-minded professionals an industrious and business-neutral forum for education, networking and advocacy. 

The DSA brings together vendors and users alike- everyone from display manufacturers, resellers and distributors, to content creators and...Read More »

Last week, I was in Chicago for the Strategy Institute Building Your Digital Signage Business. This is the fourth Strategy Institute conference I've been to and it was another solid conference.

If you are interested in a conference "play by play" both myself and David Drain tweeted throughout the show. You can follow along at #BuildDSBiz.

Though there was a sort of a good news/bad news situation with the show. The good news? MediaTile had a 32" Digital Sign in a Box set up there which generated a lot of questions through the two-day show. The...Read More »

It was truly an honor just to be included in the inaugural Top 50 Indiana Blogs list last year. But this year, the organizers add in an extra wrinkle and turned it into a competition.

Frankly, I was proud to just get votes let alone win the whole shabang. Sure some people voted for the blog just because they know me but I'm hopeful it raises awareness for the entire digital signage industry.

Case in point. I was at the local PRSA luncheon yesterday and somebody came up and congratulated me. An eaves dropper then chimed in, "I saw that you won but...Read More »

Today's guest entry is contributed by Pegi Patwardhan.

(Pegi started as an advertising executive in 1998 at a b2b technology agency, responsible for all media used in the marketing mix (online, email marketing, direct mail, magazine, events).  Her focus has always been finding ways to shorten the sales cycle for her clients - and has found MediaTile an excellent vehicle for making that happen.)

Banking and digital signage together makes sense.  Customers have a need to know and
learn about their finances. The bank team needs to have...Read More »

While visiting a range of channel and cellular carrier partners last week in the UK and the Benelux region I was able to spend a day at the Self Service Expo and Digital Signage Show Europe at Olympia in London.  One of our value-added solution partners, Box Technologies, was exhibiting there, so I spent a day chatting with network operators and prospective customers as they came across the Box stand.

I also met with Bill Yackey, Editor of Digital Signage Today, who was speaking on both days of the show covering some great statistics and trends...Read More »
