4. The Industry is Nascent: “The big picture is that the industry is very nascent
and fragmented, and most companies claiming to use UGC or social media are
not really doing so in any meaningful sense. There's more evidence of social
media on signage at conferences and events like pop concerts. LocaModa is
pretty much pioneering the space using Text messaging, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr
and Foursquare on thousands of screens in venues from Times Square to
screens on jukeboxes. Opportunities are best explored from the perspective of
end user, networks and venues--venues benefit via engagement, marketing, ad
revenue (in some cases), loyalty and reduced wait time.” - Stephen Randall,
CEO, LocaModa
THE VALUE PROPOSITION
Value propositions are still emerging for DOOH/Digital Signage, as the industry is still
nascent (as well, the social media industry is also still nascent). Best practices are still
being developed for the industry. Innovation in this industry lies in testing the best
solutions to reach targeted consumers with the most appropriate messages--to engage
them--and provide the best tools for obtaining feedback. The value for this industry lies
in what opportunities are being built by those innovating in the industry today. The
industry itself will define the value proposition by making digital signage a must-have
(not just an also tool) for advertisers.
The cost of doing digital signage has to decrease in order for the value to increase.
When there is true integration between the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and now the 4th screen, the
value proposition for digital signage will increase and possibly reach a tipping point.
The value can be increased by integrating all 4 screens into a cohesive communications
strategy that includes interactive engagement, true measurement of audience
participation and impact, and the ability to precisely target the right audiences.
When considering how to increase the value of digital signage, especially as it relates to
social media, the industry needs to establish a definitive case for engagement including
interactivity and its impact on the consumer.

to attract and engage more people.
SOCIAL MEDIA DIGITAL SIGNAGE USE CASES
AT&T Text Battle Jumbli
Objective: Fleishman Hillard wanted to raise the brand awareness for certain AT&T
messaging phones.
The Concept: AT&T branded Jumbli in Facebook and 1,200 locations including Times
Square for a 4-week period. It was the first time Facebook connected to DOOH NetOps.
LocaModa brought media $ to 7 DOOH NetOps.
The Story Unfolds: Reach was greater than 800k impressions a day and over 900
unique mobile players. There were over 300k plays over the 4-week period. This
resulted in over 150,000 unique world plays. Overall consumer reach was 11+MM
through the digital network.The top cities that participated were LA, New York, and
Chicago. The average mobile engagement was 4.15 mins and the average web
engagement was 76.77 mins.

10. Vanʼs BehereTimesqaure
Objective: Vans wanted to build a global campaign to engage youth and their creative
self-expression, which is signature of the Vans brand.
The Concept: Vans engaged LocaModa to launch an interactive billboard, as part of
their “Be Here” global interactive campaign. Fans from around the world were asked to
share photos and messages to be displayed on the 37.5 x 25.8 foot digital billboard in
Times Square. Participants submitted messages from December 15 - January 5. All
messages appear on Vans webiste, while the best submissions ran in real-time in Times
Square during 10 minutes of special Vans programming each hour, 24 hours a day.
The Story Unfolds: Take into consideration that 1.6 million people pass through Times
Square every day, and 500,00 gather there for New Years Eve. Factor in the viral
number for each user who uploads a photo and message and then receives an email to
their “moment” with the ability to share with others. Using the Dunbar number, we could
say that this user has at least 100 connections that theyʼre sharing with at any given
time, on any given social network. This was an exercise in brand awareness, as well as
brand ambassador influence on a brand.

11. Fountainsquare Launches Aerva
Pic2Scren for Valentineʼs Day
Campaign
Objective: The Cincinnati Center City Development Corporation (3CDC) wanted to
revitalize the cityʼs downtown as the economic, cultural and civic hub of the city. One
element of the project was a complete facelift of Fountain Square, a city square and
pedestrian zone.
The Concept: 3CDC installed a large 42ʼ x 24ʼ LED display on top of Macyʼs
department store and looked for an all-encompassing software and network
management solution that would enable the LED display to be used for different
messaging campaigns, such as concerts, community messaging, advertising and also
for fun and games. 3CDC chose Aervaʼs AerChannel technology to drive the display
starting October 2006. In 2007, for a Valentineʼs Day campaign, 3CDC employed the
use of Aervaʼs Pic2Screen social media application for photo upload by users to the
giant LED display. It was sponsored by P&G, with additional sponsorship from Hyatt
Regency, Jones the Florist, Via Vite restaurant, and KISS 107.1.
The Story Unfolds: With the Aerva Pic2Screen social media technology, users could
email photos to a special email address to be selected for display on the giant LED in
Fountain Square on Valentineʼs Day. 3CDC was able to use the application to bring
UGC to the square and to help consumers connect with brands. They began accepting
pictures February 1 so that users could trigger their photos to appear on the screen
using SMS on Valentineʼs Day.

12. Nokiaʼs Huge Ovi Interactive Signpost in London
Objective: Nokia wanted to promote that Ovi maps is free and to further promote its
ʻGood Thingsʼ feature within Ovi maps. ʻGood Thingsʼ enables users to submit points of
interest to add to the Ovi map and share those locations with the world.
The Concept: Nokia worked with agency Farfar on the installation of a 50-meter tall, six
ton interactive signpost in the middle of London that would show Ovi maps ʻGood
Thingsʼ feature. Nokia phone owners could submit points of interest through a dedicated
site (via SMS or email), and the signpost would display the name and direction of the
spot rotating to turn towards the location. The campaign was supported with a Twitter
and Facebook tie in, with Facebook to announce the event and Twitter to show updates.
The messages were also streamed to Nokia.com, where all the locations were synched
with Nokiaʼs ʻGood Thingsʼ map.
The Story Unfolds: On the first day of launch there were so many submissions that the
servers crashed. Nokia wasnʼt able to display all of the user-generated content and
could only display a portion of them. “The Worldʼs Biggest Signpost,” as the campaign
2010, The ARF 12

13. came to be known, became a tourist attraction where many stopped to take photos with
the signpost. On launch, there was also a tie in of a live event, where attendees got to
meet the product manager for the site and take a tour for a behind the scenes look at
the operation. This event generated photos on Flickr, tweets on Twitter, and blog posts
from the Nokia community.

Locamoda Brings
Foursquare to the City of
Lights
Objective: Locamoda wanted to bring Foursquare visualizations to place-based
networks.
The Concept: Locamoda secured a deal with Indoor Direct, one of the largest digital
signage networks to have the foursquare application featured in over 1,000 quick
service restaurants. Through a partnership with Clear Channel Outdoor, Locamoda was
able to visualize Foursquare check-ins on the 126-foot LED digital billboard at the
entrance to Las Vegas Miracle Mile Shops. With Foursquare, users check-in to their
favorite locations to announce where they are to their friend network. They earn points
and badges and can become ʻMayorʼ of locations they frequent often.
The Story Unfolds: Tying digital signage to location-based mobile services extended
the digital conversation to a broader network of people. The integration undoubtedly
increases Foursquareʼs user base. This installation also creates additional value for
advertisers and venues. Through their partners, LocaModa reaches the digital screens
of over 15,000 venues with an audience of over 100 million every month across the US.

American Eagleʼs 15 Seconds of Fame
in Times Square
Objective: American Eagle wanted to
offer a compelling customer experience in
conjunction with the launch of its 25,000
sq. ft flagship store in Times Square.
The Concept: The store itself features an
interactive experience, including four
levels of shopping and several interactive
digital features. There is also a 13-foot
video wall inside the store to add
additional impact. With the help of
partners: The Barnycz Group, Barco, R/
GA, and ABC Sports & Entertainment
Sales, the store featured a customer
experience called “15 Seconds of Fame.”
When customers make a purchase, they
are invited to pose in a photo studio and
their photo, with a 50-character message,
is projected on a 15,000 square feet (25
stories high) LED screen outside the
store. The screens feature content for 18 hours every day.
The Story Unfolds: American Eagle had a goal of getting customers to discuss their
experience with the store online in social networking spaces like Twitter, Facebook, and
blogs. AE encouraged customers to take photos of their experience and their messages
broadcast on the display to share them on social networks. One customer even used
his “15 Seconds of Fame” to make a marriage proposal. AE had a number of advertising
opportunities with this model including real-time delivery and the showcasing of multiple
products.

15. OPPORTUNITIES
The Future of Shopping Becomes More Social
In this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDi0FNcaock, Cisco takes a look at the
future of shopping. What is clearly evident from research and current trends, is that
shopping is going to become more social. For example, say a customer “checks-in” to a
store, and they receive recommendations of what they may like to purchase based on
past purchasing behaviors or recommendations from friends in their network.
Already with Bing http://www.bing.com/community/blogs/search/archive/2010/05/06/
shop-and-share-with-bing.aspx, you can use Twitter and Facebook on the HTC HD2
smartphone to check if Bing shopping has given you the best prices. In 2007, Facebook
launched Beacon, a service that shared your purchases on several retail sites online
with your friends within Facebook. With better opt-in and privacy measures than what
Facebook offered, the opportunity is there for a partner to make such social shopping
experiences exist on a mobile to digital display format.
Location-Based Technologies To Play A Greater Role in Digital Signage
As can be seen in the LocaModa Foursquare example, the opportunity exists, again at
store level for a rich interactive experience. Restaurants, retailers, and C-Stores can
employ such technologies to publicly share who is checking in to their locations. This
might go one step further, enabling customers to share with one another what theyʼre
currently doing (as in purchasing or eating) at their location. A restaurant example might
include uploading a photo of your meal with a message that can be displayed on a
digital display and sent to your social networks to share with your friends.
Augmented Reality at Point-of-Sale Increases Engagement and Purchase
Behavior
An example such as Legoʼs Digital Box Kiosk uses Augmented Reality to show
customers what they can do with Lego Technic. Itʼs an opportunity to see in 3D imaging,
or as close to reality, how a product actually works and functions. Legos boxes also
have AR built in with a QR code that can be held up to a Kiosk to activate an AR feature
that displays a 3D model of the Lego kit inside. The opportunity exists to include social
sharing of the AR experience, but also of mobile QR code features being added to the
experience. Several mobile apps can already scan QR codes to provide consumers with
more information and interactivity.
Revenue Models are Becoming More Attractive
Revenue models are increasingly changing as hardware prices per-screen continues to
become less expensive. Overall, prices have deflated by approximately 30% over the
past few years. This makes the ROI for digital signage much more attractive. Also,
because of media convergence, economies of scale can be achieved, therefore making
planning and purchase of DOOH much easier than ever before. With this in mind,
integration costs are still high, yet since hardware costs are now a smaller fraction of the
overall deployment costs this channel is still a valuable spend for advertisers.
2010, The ARF 15

16. Digital Signage Has Great Impact on Lift
Research has shown that digital signage communication has potential to lift product and
service inquiries, as well as purchases and usage. This creates brand awareness as
well as customer relationship management opportunities. There is an increased reach
for a product or service with digital signage, and social media enables a higher level of
engagement. Through social--texts, downloads, mobile browsing, sharing, voice--there
is great potential to increase foot traffic to locations and web traffic to sites, also
increasing in-person, web, and mobile purchases. Shopper behavior is greatly
influenced by digital messaging, as outlined in the Out-of-Home Video Advertising
Bureau guidelines, which provide results for measuring the size of an audience in a
given space. Nielsen research further supports that digital signage changes consumer
behaviors. Social media and friend networks can be the driver of those changed
behaviors as the trust level for friend recommendations outweighs the trust level for
messaging coming directly from brands. The industry should also focus on increasing
the ability to precisely target intended audiences.
Four Screen Cohesion
The opportunity for providing campaigns and context to the user experience that work
fluently across the four screens --TV, Web, Mobile, Digital Signage -- is becoming a
greater reality. As millennials increasingly become the target consumer for advertisers
and venues, their socially connected lives will bring with them greater opportunity to
provide deeper, richer, consumer experiences not only across the four screens but in a
heavy integration of mobile, social, and digital signage.
Overall Opportunity for Mobile In the SM/Digital Signage Space
Mobile is the primary connector between social media and digital signage, providing the
real glue to ensure delivery of real-time content and interaction. Partnerships with
retailers, as well as social media digital signage operators and networks and brands will
provide overwhelming opportunities in this space. Mobile brands also have the
opportunity, as Nokia has shown, to push brand awareness and product launch
messaging in novel ways. The tremendous opportunity for hyper-targeting, increases
the interest in mobile (social networking and location-based) digital signage campaigns
for advertisers.

CHALLENGES
The Digital Divide of Digital Signage
Agencies are allocating spending to DOOH, but they have yet to fully adopt or grasp the
full capabilities of this marketing channelʼs potential. This should be a natural fit for a
digital agency, especially as it regards the cohesive interplay of four screens into one
campaign. Part of this misunderstanding for agencies is that the ROI is not fully
understood. Another factor in the slow to speed digital agency adoption for digital
signage is that there are always new networks cropping up. This makes it nearly
impossible for agencies and marketers to fully understand and keep track of the media
2010, The ARF 16

17. available to them or even to understand the benefits of what one network offers over
another.
Measurement Standards Donʼt Exist
One of the primary challenges for digital signage are with measurement and creative
unit standards. In 2010, network operators have begun to offer audited and accepted
metrics, but again these are not standardized across the industry. Since metrics are not
clearly defined, the industry-at-large is advocating for aggregators and aggregation
models. Broadsign has released audited measurement results from Arbitron to enable
advertisers to measure ROI. Together with SeeSaw, BroadSign is releasing an open API
to enable the industry to collaborate on open standards for measurement of DOOH. The
Out-of-Home Video Advertising Bureau has also issued guidelines to better understand
the value of a DOOH audience to further address the challenges of calculating
appropriate metrics within the industry.
All Systems Arenʼt a Go
Many of the systems for DOOH are complicated and expensive. There are many
different groups (players) involved in getting one Digital Signage deployment launched.
In this regard, the opportunity for creating large, scalable campaigns is an overwhelming
challenge because it is a complex landscape to traverse when it comes to networks.
Also, there are myriad environmental considerations at play. Platforms that break down
silos need to be created in order for scalable models to thrive in this space.
Technology Challenges
Mobile and DOOH integration isnʼt as easy as it seems, but together they will be the
drivers of the interactive and customer engagement model of the Digital Signage
industry. Another technological challenge is presented by the varying formats, files
structures, and standards between systems, which creates a further technological gap.
The major challenges in the tech area come in the form of aggregation and real-time
delivery.
Digital Signage is Very Local
According to Adcentricity, 70% of all network sales are from local sales efforts, driven by
the network sales staff. Most networks have no national sales force, which translates
into agencies and brands being unaware or uneducated on the value of DOOH
offerings.
What About Those Legal Issues?
There are many issues when it comes to user generated content in the legal arena.
Since there are rules for mobile carriers when it comes to mobile content, anyone
serving SM DOOH campaigns should consider using systems that support filtering,
moderation, and curation. Also mobile users must have full disclosure on messaging
pricing, and it is suggested that there be no premium set for messaging to DOOH
systems as pricing could prove to be a barrier to interactivity. Disclosure must also be
met on the level of access to the user in terms of whether the operator will send further
messaging to the user. This can get into murky waters with spamming issues (CAN-
2010, The ARF 17

18. SPAM Act). Further, attention must be paid to copyright, defamation, privacy rights, and
public decency laws when it comes to UGC. Because of this, it is becoming expected
that network operators, event planners, and messaging suppliers provide Professional
Liability (Errors and Omissions) insurance, covering possible inappropriate content
being displayed in public.
