Good to see the Christie Digital stand looking very busy over at PLASA at Earls Court, London today. As ever, MicroTiles were generating a lot of interest; on display were the Escalator, Digital Wall and the Gravity (Reception) Desk (the latter desk shown here).

Many of you will be going along to #ibc2010 at the end of this week – our team will be out there in force as we have so much going on with clients at the event that we have had to hire an apartment and set it up as a mini edit studio – sleeping [...]

Cardiff as a shopping destination has seen massive growth and development in the past few years, especially since the arrival of John Lewis and the development of the St David’s 2 Shopping Centre.

So the Ocean Outdoor live OOH creative competition can only be a good [...]

Alex Hughes

I was on the train to London this morning using my iPad to catch up on a few emails and have a bit of a browse when it struck me that you wouldn’t see a ticker on an iPad. OK, I may be stretching the DOOH metaphor a little when I suggest that the iPad [...]

OK, OK so I finally did it – yes, join a queue to buy an Apple product – I had promised myself I wouldn’t get excited but at 8.30am this morning I was one of 200 checking their old 3G’s, taking pics of the queue and mailing all their friends. 2 hours later and I [...]

At #ScreenMediaExpo, many of you who visited might have noticed at the front of the Christie Digital stand, their welcome desk. This was actually what could be termed a piece of Furniture+.
