The UK’s Marketing Week 27.09.07 has a special report this week on Ambient Marketing – pages 45 through to 50 – entitled “Outdoor’s digital awakening”.

I am still in the midst of writing an article about Immedia Broadcasting after a visit to their studios in Newbury a few week’s back AND it seems that they are still not in a position to announce their REALLY BIG profile High Street retail win but anyway they have announced today that SPAR UK […]

I am not sure yet how relevant this is to us in EMEA (but will try and find out), anyway the Strategy Institute over in the US are doing a great job of generating interest in all the right areas when it comes to Digital Out of Home. They are holding a Content Strategies Summit […]

Speakers for Digital Signage Asia have just been announced and it is looking like a veritable who’s who of the industry. It will be great, especially to see Bill Gerba over from the US for the event to give his thoughts on the industry. I am looking forward also to Dr Rajeev Sharma’s presentation – […]
