DDC Aligns with Miller Zell, 3M Digital Signage and NEC Display to Deliver New In-Store Digital Media Capability

Collaboration Will Deliver Turn-Key, Retail Digital Signage Solutions

Waterloo ON - ­ Digital Display & Communication, Inc. (DDC), one of the leading digital signage network companies in North America, has aligned with Miller Zell, NEC Display Solutions of America, Inc., and 3M Digital Signage to deliver one-stop shopping for a full-range of turn-key, retail digital signage solutions. Marketed by Miller Zell as MZ In-Store Digital Media, this innovative offering is designed to help retailers and consumer products companies navigate the new world of electronic in-store digital signage and place-based private television networks.

DDC will lead the development of all digital programming and content management for MZ In-Store Digital Media, which offers a full-range of turn-key signage solutions, including display equipment, digital integration, content production and digital ad sales. Miller Zell’s retail merchandising strategy, design, graphics, fixture production and full-program implementation capabilities complement the offering.

"DDC is committed to delivering communication that influences, so we are excited about the potential to collectively make a marked impact on the way people shop the traditional retail store," said Stuart Kirkpatrick, president of DDC. “Together, the four companies share a common vision to be major drivers of the rapidly increasing use of digital media as the de facto standard for in-store retail communication.”

The unique combination of digital expertise is already paying dividends with all four companies supporting major retail-level digital programs, including a networked system in Future Shop (Best Buy) stores in Canada; a customer communication system in SunTrust Bank branches; a 26-channel interactive system in HSBC's flagship bank branch in New York; and a new showroom messaging system in Mohawk flooring dealers throughout the United States.

"We believe this powerful collaboration will help clients better promote retail and consumer product brands at the critical point of shopper decision-making," said Craig Apatov, executive vice president of Miller Zell.

DDC brings a wealth of expertise to the alliance, as one of the digital signage industry’s founding companies with vast experience in digital merchandising systems.
