Follow us on LinkedIn – Newspapers, magazines, radio, and television have been traditional means of disseminating information, and news. Technology developments over the years have helped redefine mass communication by revolutionizing the way in which organizations can relay information to large segments of population at the same time. Advanced technologies that have emerged over the years have enabled dynamic information delivery, and have accelerated the pace at which information can be delivered to target audiences. Digital signage system represents a progressive advancement that combines power of digital displays such as LCDs and LEDs with efficient content management and digital media distribution. Digital signage is a specialized form of silvercasting where digital multimedia content such as images, video, and streaming media can be displayed at public places for advertising or information purpose. Evolving since the mid-90s, digital signage systems now represent one of the most potent channels for displaying media at key public spaces such transit points, stadiums, museums, retail outlets, and hotels & restaurants, among others.

Growth and acceptance in the market is driven by the ability of digital signage to attract the right audiences. Digital signs for Digital-Out-of-Home Advertising (DOOH) especially flaunt the potential to enable advertisers to reach consumers at multiple touchpoints, context and environment thus amplifying the advertising impact. Constant bombarding of consumers with advertising media content at Point-of-Sale, Point-of-Wait, and Point-of-Transit, help target consumers with media content all through the day. Public places, such as, train stations, subways or bus stops/shelters, also prove to be typical areas where digital signage systems can be used to target the right audience. The amplification of marketing impact made possible through this medium provides a high return on investment (ROI) and thereby a business case for these systems. Digital signage systems are best suited for in-store promotion and for building brand identity.

Continued penetration of digital signage as an effective advertising platform for dynamic two-way communication, will be supported by effervescent innovations in affordable, flat-panel display panels, and development of interactive displays, augmented reality, gesture control, and built-in digital signage social network. Near-Field Communications (NFC) technology is also helping revolutionize the way audience interact with digital signage systems thereby improving their overall marketing impact.

Halifax Chooses ScreenScape To Drive Region-wide Place-based Media Efforts

Halifax, NS and Charlottetown, PE (PRWEB) August 12, 2014

Atlantic Canada’s biggest city has begun standardizing the delivery of place-based media across the region, using ScreenScape Networks for its publishing and management platform.

A diverse set of public and community venues across the Halifax Regional Municipality (or HRM) are now using ScreenScape’s cloud-based digital signage platform to run and share multimedia messaging content across sites.

ScreenScape, based in Charlottetown, PEI, was selected out of a bidding process the regional authority ran for a new visual communications platform within HRM-owned facilities, as well as at various community sites such as tourist attractions, cultural venues and recreation centres.

That tender called for a system that would enable participating venues around the Halifax Region to easily post digital messaging – such as event promotions and health bulletins – to screens connected by a cloud-based content management network.

The Neptune Theatre, the largest professional theatre company in eastern Canada, is among the many venues now plugged into HRM’s ScreenScape-driven network. “We’re a busy marketing team, and it’s imperative we use tools that bring our message to audiences clearly and repetitively with well-timed advertising. ScreenScape helps us do just that,” says Jennie King, Neptune’s Director of Sales & Marketing.

“What’s even better,” adds King, “is how we can now share our timely messages not only through the network of digital monitors in our venue, but with a broader community of ScreenScape users.”

ScreenScape’s network-centric approach allows venues of all descriptions to opt in and share their messages with other venues, and run selected messages from other venues on their own screens. That means a Halifax theatre company’s promotion for a production can find its way, without laborious coordination or additional cost, on to screens at nearby businesses and community centres.

“HRM’s use of place-based media is really a coming of age story for this new medium,” says Mark Hemphill, Founder and CEO of ScreenScape. “As more and more businesses in the region have turned on ScreenScape over the past couple of years, HRM recognized the value and efficiency of being part of this network, and really driving a program that can interoperate with other networks run by their community partners and other businesses.”

“Fragmentation is a big challenge with media, and that’s particularly true with place-based media,” adds Hemphill. “By deploying ScreenScape in its facilities, HRM has taken a leadership position in demonstrating the inherent value of a common platform. It’s an effort that taps into the promise of place-based media at a regional level.”

A harmonized messaging platform makes it possible to quickly and efficiently broadcast safety and health bulletin across a region, and increase local tourism marketing and economic development efforts at minimal new cost. “This is what a smart and connected community looks like,” says Hemphill. “It’s exciting to think of the places where this might go, as even more Halifax venues get on board.”
