Last year, MediaTile was fortunate to win Frost & Sullivan's 2008 Digital Signage Technology Award. Well, we can now add another award to the our mantle (if we had one). I just found out this morning that Keith Kelsen, our executive chairman and founder, was named 2009 Digital Signage Man of the Year.
Not only is the recognition well deserved, what's great about Keith is that I can guarantee you that this recognition will not go to his head. Sure, he might take a victory lap around the office in Scotts Valley (if he's there), but he'll get right back to work once he catches his breath. In addition to his role with MediaTile, Keith serves as the chairperson of the Content Best Practices committee for the Digital Signage Association.
Josh Coffman, Digital Signage Forum moderator/Digital Signage Forum Judge states, “What Keith Kelsen has accomplished on top of running a successful and innovative company is impressive. Not only does he run a hardware and software company, but he has shown that he is committed to good content.”
There's that word again: content. If you're going to be associated with MediaTile, we will beat it into you about the importance of content.
Two other awards were also given out: Woman of the Year and Newcomer of the Year. This recognition went respecticely to Jill Miller, president of the Digital Signage Group, and Justin Clupper, Program and Public relations manager of Neoti Broadcast Network.
I haven't had the pleasure of meeting Jill, but I did meet Justin at the Strategy Institute event in Chicago this past Fall. Congratulations to Jill and Justin are also in order.
