What do you think about the current digital signage/digital out-of-home landscape? While digital screenmedia is still relatively new for many brands, we are clearly seeing a momentum shift towards technology-based solutions. No longer is digital an option; it has become a fundamental marketing tool for brands of all industries and segments. From driving sales to providing entertainment, today’s digital signage provides a unique and customizable approach to engaging consumers and building brand loyalty. The biggest challenge that many brands face when implementing a large-scale digital screenmedia program is the complexities of attaining and managing multiple components and resources. At DAVACO, we have a unique understanding of the multi-service digital industry, and we are able to streamline the process with turnkey services that yield greater efficiencies and speed-to-market.
