FAQ
What is rVue?
What is digital out-of-home?
Over the past several decades, we've seen outdoor advertising that included billboards, posters and signs, all displaying advertising or other relevant information created specifically for consumers on the go. While some of that messaging was dynamic – such as the advertising shown before movies in the form of video, motion gfx, flash, etc. – most of it was static.
Today, advancements in technology have contributed to incredible growth in the digital out-of-home industry. Digital out-of-home platforms include digital signage, digital billboards, LCDs, LEDs, plasma displays and projected images found in public and private environments. Among the many benefits of digital signage over traditional static displays is the ease by which content can be exchanged and updated, the ability to run full motion video and animations, and the address-ability of custom advertising based on the setting and the audience, even on an interactive level. Digital signage means less waste and offers unique ROI opportunities compared to most traditional static signs.
What makes rVue an Addressable Advertising tool?
Addressable Advertising refers to an agency’s or advertiser’s ability to customize a message and deliver it to a highly-targeted audience vs. broadcasting the same message to everyone. rVue is addressable advertising at its best, providing the ability to narrow-cast your message based on geographic location, demographics and type of network. For instance, if a sports apparel company is looking to advertise their product line in gyms nationwide, rVue allows them to customize their campaign – ad content featuring hiking boots can be broadcast in Colorado, board shorts in California and ski jackets in Vermont – and it’s all accessible from one easy-to-use web-based interface.
