Digital Signs Some Facts
•
Media agencies & brands are searching for new original ways to
reach consumers.
•
Traditional mediums are in decline, such as TV; lower ratings & the
consumer’s ability to skip commercials (DVRs, like TiVo, mute,
fragmentation) make the medium less attractive.

reaching consumers prior to purchasing products. -- Finding new
destination and regional attractions
