For those of you who missed Garry McGuire’s keynote speech at the Digital Signage Investor’s Conference two weeks ago in New York, I thought it was worth posting a link to the two videos showcased in the presentation – FULL DISCLAIMER, Jones Digital Media was commissioned by RMG to  write, create and produce these videos.

As conventions go, I’d say the Digital Signage portion of the  SGIA Expo was a success. Not having any previous years’ visits to compare, the timing did seem right to introduce DOOH to an industry that’s obviously hungry for information and education. As I mentioned in my last post, I believe the education needs to be targeted […]

It’s a record breaking year for SGIA- over 20,000 attendees, which should make the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce extremely happy! Over in the Digital Signage Zone, Charles Kelly Jnr. from Clarke Systems is setting out the finer points of setting up a digital signage network for the fifty or so attentive listeners, most of […]

Walking past the pink Cadillac, the Rat-Pack era showgirls pulling fast on shared Marlboro Light and the Vegas style Elvis, alone and looking remarkably youthful and svelte on his portable stage, I feared the worse.

We’ve learned that San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom has tasked Clear Channel Outdoor to install some pretty advanced digital out-of-home technology in bus shelters in the city – the first of which is scheduled to be active October 18 this year. The shelters will feature a fully interactive screen where those waiting for Muni can […]

The Display Search Conference in San Jose this week kicked off with a rather muted start on Tuesday. Attendance was definitely down from last year and featured many of the same speakers, mostly from the likes of Intel, LG, Panasonic and NEC. So, was there anything a creative guy could get excited about in this […]

Today, after decades of abuse and over-exposure on a global scale,  the News Ticker quietly passed away. The last known Ticker in existence apparently ticked its very last headline sometime around 3am Friday morning on a digital screen inside an empty sports bar in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It’s sad demise was a symptom of it’s […]
