BroadSign’s Digital Signage Software Enables Zoom Media & Marketing To Build out Industry-Leading Network

MINNETONKA, MN and NY, NY – January 22, 2008 – BroadSign International Inc., a leading worldwide provider of hosted software for managing digital signage networks  and  Zoom Media & Marketing, a targeted out-of-home media provider, announced today that BroadSign’s Software as a Service (SaaS) solution BroadSign™ Suite will be used to operate and grow Zoom’s networks of digital screens. Zoom Media’s digital signage network includes displays in high-traffic areas in bars and restaurants in the top ten markets nationwide. 

“We chose BroadSign because of the flexibility and modularity of their software, their charting system, and the ability to do things like customize loop content, schedules, and play features,” said Dennis Roche, president of Zoom Media & Marketing. “Advertisers are becoming increasingly receptive to digital signage and we look forward to giving them the flexibility and reach that BroadSign’s platform offers.”

Using BroadSign™ Suite will allow Zoom’s networks to schedule and ensure content playback on each screen, monitor network and campaign performance and produce proof-of-play reports for advertisers. The enterprise-scale software also makes it easy to manage media space inventory, view avails, as well as target campaigns by demographic and geographic criteria from one central location.

“Zoom's broad national scope requires technology that allows them to tailor their content by region or time while remaining cost-effective to manage regardless of how large the network gets,” said Rick Engels, president and CEO of BroadSign. “BroadSign Suite was designed with a focus on flexibility and growth, which suits Zoom’s major expansion plans. Zoom’s ad sales team also appreciated the fact that we can provide auditable metrics comparable to traditional media and Internet.”
