Only now am I reading The Hunger Games trilogy, so Odeon Cinemas may forgive me for missing their Leicester Square opening a couple months back.

NEC Display Solutions Europe and Odeon installed one of the largest displays of its kind in a public square – an LED digital display measuring 107 square metres – on the facade of the Odeon Leicester Square in London’s West End.

The huge display – the size of half a basketball court – replaces the old poster board and is flanked by two 18 square metre displays in one of the UK’s most prominent. 90 million tourists every year walk by and stare up at that display: with or without The Hunger Games draw. Read more...

Ever seen a streamlined bus? Nope, I haven’t either. Generally, they are built like boxes on wheels and have less design appeal than semi trucks and 18-wheelers.

Digital signage must be fairly close to a religion for Scala-- explaining the company's turning a hall in the Zuiderkerk, the 17th century church at the Amsterdam Nieuwmarkt, into the temple to the industry that was its 2013 International Conference. 

In attendance were 293 visitors, together with mix of exhibitors occupying a second floor.

Effectively an analysis of the state of the digital signage industry today, Nix repeatedly insisted of the importance of partners within vertical markets, particularly in these post-2008 market crash days. 

According to Nix 2013 sees Scala customer numbers growing by 21%, with the average order growing by 10%-- in other words, signs of a growth market. Engagement, analytics and SaaS represent key opportunities, as do the shift towards market verticals and the evolution of the average signage customer, leading to what Nix calls the "customer experience engines" of tomorrow.   Read more...
