Telling A Story In Five Minutes

Gail Chiasson, North American Editor

A series of elevator pitches, ie. timed five minute pitches by young companies wanting to get themselves known by The DailyDOOH Media Summit audience last week, was great fun and a rather clever way of kickstarting the afternoon’s proceedings…

TDMS2014 - Elevator Pitch Speakers 1

  • Neil McDonald of amBX started the session off on a high note, discussing the company’s interest in people’s reaction to light and the technological advances and control systems involved in the scientific understanding of that.
  • Sam Grimley of Blippar discussed his company’s augmented reality platform that can work, he said, with almost any media except radio.
  • Dan Douglas said he thinks LivePoster’s DOOH advertising and data specialization can help DOOH steal budgets from other media.
  • Miles Quitmann discussed Proxama’s software which is based on connecting mobile to digital, and also the company’s work in mobile payment.
  • Luca Nestolo of Taggalo discussed the company offerings of proof of audience, real-time certification of an ad message at any given time or space.

And our own Editor-in-Chief Adrian Cotterill stood in for Andreas Soupliotis who was unable to attend, introducing OpenSplash, the free, open-source, cross-platform digital signage software player that Ayuda Media Systems donated to the industry a few years ago.

All in all, it was an incredibly fast-paced experience timed well in the post-luncheon period that the audience seemed to enjoy immensely!
