The largest outdoor advertising company in the Eastern European country of Georgia, Alma LLC, recently selected Montreal-based BroadSign International LLC’s digital signage software for the deployment of its digital out-of-home network.
Alma’s portfolio of digital displays is complementary to its traditional billboards and printing house. Four LED screens and LCD videowalls will be live before the end of 2015 as part of the initial deployment, located in Tbilisi’s city centre, East Point Mall and Tbilisi International Airport.
“We came across BroadSign at Integrated Systems Europe and opted to use their software platform due to its strong credibility in the industry and features that meet the needs of our DOOH network,” says Giorgi Trapaidze, CEO at Alma. “The implementation of informational and interactive capabilities is essential to providing our advertisers with the ability to run innovative and high quality campaigns.”
“We are very pleased that Alma, a national leader in traditional and digital out-of-home, has selected BroadSign’s platform for the deployment of such highly visible displays and are certain the robustness of our offering will ensure the network sets a high bar for DOOH in the Georgian market,” says Skip Beloff, vice-president of sales at BroadSign.
