BP Signs Contract For Digital SIgnage With RMC
Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief
Retail Media Company, LLC (RMC), a digital signage business based in Los Angeles, California, today announced that it has executed an agreement with BP making it BP’s US provider for digital signage, both at the pump and in the convenience store.
RMC plans to build out a network of screens above the pumps in a thousand or more BP and ARCO branded gas stations in the United States.
In addition to weather, traffic, and commercials at the pump, RMC’s network will provide original content produced just for the network. Adam Bleibtreu, CEO of RMC told us “Our mission is to affect consumer behavior. To do that we have to be engaging. RMC is committed to creating a unique, enjoyable and exclusive experience for BP and ARCO customers.”
The deal is the culmination of an RFP process that began in July, 2008, see our post back then ‘Blighted RFP Sighted Over UK and US‘, during which RMC was selected from a field of competitors.
