The Digital Signage Federation will present a free webinar on January 23rd that will address ad-based networks operators’ concerns as they move into 2013: ad spending trends and network efficiencies.
First, Patrick Quinn, CEO of PQ Media will outline the status and outlook for advertising revenues based on his company’s research into ad spending and patterns in Digital Out-of-Home. Quinn will explain how ad momentum is building and why efficiencies matter. (Please note: this slide deck will not be made available, but the recorded session URL will be provided to those who pre-register.)
Second, two primary network suppliers, LG Electronics and SYNNEX, will address how networks can reduce advertiser attrition and optimize their network’s expansion and growth. As networks grow and adapt to better serve the needs of advertisers, location providers and the network operator, it is essential that functional capabilities be matched to economies of scale and efficiencies in operations. This session will offer approaches for assessing operational efficiencies and improving sourcing and network effectiveness.
