Posted by:
Thursday, September 1, 2011
measuring digital signage"How do I measure digital signage internally?" has been an age-old question without an easy answer. I faced this challenge back when I managed my own network at Rolls-Royce. It's a lot of anecdotal feedback, mixed in with focus groups and surveys, and sprinkled with gut feelings. 

Every month, the fine folks at Digital Signage Expo asks an industry-related question its Advisory Board. This month's question focused on properly measuring digital signage.

Friday, July 22, 2011
With the dangerous weather that has hit many parts of the Midwest and South in the past month, I'm sure (and hopeful) that many crisis communication plans are being dusted off. 

crisis communication - the old fashioned way Crisis planning is one of those efforts that most companies do but hope they never have to enact.  I've been a part of many crisis and business continuity teams where everybody has the classic red binder that nobody thinks will ever get used.

Video on the rise for employee communications

Posted by:
Wednesday, June 29, 2011
video for internal communicationsOne of digital signage's greatest strengths is displaying video without any push or pull from the viewer. And this is especially true (and valuable) in corporate communications where often times employees cannot access videos off of an intranet. 

I picked up on this post from Sean Malone where he states that "the use of video in internal communications is set to rise in the UK." And this assumption is based on a recent trip he had to the US. He cites three main reasons that the video production has increased.

HumanKiosk "Mini Me"

More “big news” today from MediaTile – make that “small news.”   This morning we announced a new, smaller form factor of our HumanKiosk. The new system is a 19” configuration that provides a more personal, and intimate experience.  But best of all, it can be deployed in far more locations than the larger, floor-standing versions. 

We’ll be demoing the new system, which our engineers internally refer to as “mini-me,” in booth #712 at this week’s CETW (Consumer Engageme...
