Global Communication

I had a great time at Digital Signage Expo 2010 and here we are already getting ready for 2011. Last year, I had the fortune of leading two of the corporate communication "lunch & learns." This year it gets even better.

At Digital Signage Expo 2011, I will be moderating a panel of corporate communicators talking about the successes and challenges they've faced installing their own internal neworks. The session is titled "Best Practices for Corporate Communicators." Here's the description:

Next week, the Digital Screenmedia Association is hosting a Digital Signage in Healthcare webinar. It's free to sign up for the October 12 webinar and I highly recommend doing so if you have the time.

We're proud that one of the highlighted companies during the webinar is Dominican Hospital. Mike Lee and Dominican have been a client of ours for more than a year now and have incrementally grown their digital signage network. They use it for employee communications, as well as updating patients and visitors. We have a full case study on their...Read More »

So, my wife and I just picked up new phones this week. We decided on the Sprint EVO 4G, and to be honest I find it hard to call a phone. The next wave of personal computing is definitely in the palm of our hands, and the potential to engage customers where the work and play is almost limitless.

As the network providers build out 4G services across the country, content developers must begin to think of how we can gobble up all of that bandwidth. Dynamic advertising, 4G applications, video streams, and 2-way interactions...Read More »

I was thrilled to death with how well our first webinar went last week. But I know that not everybody who wanted to attend was able to. We had some great questions at the end from attendees on tips and techniques of implementing digital signage for employee communications. And though I was able to answer them on the call, I think they are important questions and answers to share here on the blog.

But before I get to those over the next few weeks, you can look glance through the webinar's presentation and see how Eli Lilly & Company uses signage...Read More »

While many think globalization is dead, it really has yet to begin for internal communications. Even with the best and biggest global companies, employee communications is often completely fractured. Rarely is there a consistent message spread across the country, let alone a consistent vehicle that all employees share.

Translation (or lack thereof) throws a huge wrench into the corporate communications cog. If you don't have people on staff who can do their own translations, it can be trick and quite expensive.

And for those who have tried to...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 »

Today, I'll be making my way up to Chicago for the Make Money and Grow Your Digital Signage Business conference held by the folks at the Strategy Institute. I'm not sure who else will be attending so I'll do my best to blog and tweet from the event.

Will you be there? Please leave a comment and let me know.

Per the usual, there is a strong cast of presenters at this year's show. Keith Kelsen, MediaTile's founder, is the chairperson for the show AND our largest corporate communication customer will be speaking.

Chris Bias from Eli Lilly... Read More »

Okay, that headline might come across a bit heavy-handed, but I truly am honored to have this blog featured in the Top 50 Indiana Blogs competition.

"But isn't MediaTile a global company based in California? Why Indiana?" I'm part of the list because that's where I live.

So if you wouldn't mind, take a few seconds and log your vote. You can certainly vote for all of your favorites and not just mine. Though I'm pretty sure I'm the only digital signage blog on the block.

Voting doesn't require any login. Just click vote. Vote because you like...Read More »
