Scala, a global leader in digital signage solutions, proudly announced today that two of its clients, The Krystal Company and Lamar Outdoor Advertising, have been honored with POPAI Awards for their exceptional digital signage applications.
Lamar Outdoor Advertising received the Silver Award in the Transportation/Transit category for its innovative deployment of full-size outdoor LED billboards across prime real estate and heavy traffic areas in the nation. This sophisticated digital signage network, developed in partnership with Scala Certified Partner PSX Corporation, features a web-based ad sales and management system that integrates seamlessly with Scala InfoChannel®. This system enables advertisers to dynamically update their advertising content, catering to fast-paced marketing needs without the typical constraints of traditional outdoor advertising.
Lamar’s digital displays represent the next generation of out-of-home advertising, offering unparalleled flexibility in messaging with zero production charges and the ability to change content at will. This has opened up new possibilities for advertising special promotions, breaking news, and other time-sensitive messages.
The Krystal Restaurant, located in Chattanooga, Tennessee, was awarded the Bronze Award in the Hospitality/Entertainment category. In an effort to blend nostalgic charm with modern convenience, The Krystal Company engaged Hammond Communications Group, another Scala Certified Partner, to design a digital menuboard system. This system not only enhances the customer experience by maintaining the restaurant’s 50s drive-in theme but also incorporates modern fast-food efficiencies.
Customers at The Krystal Restaurant can now enjoy their meals while being entertained by a live TV feed of local Chattanooga events, with audio delivered through an FM station directly to their car’s radio. This innovative use of digital signage has significantly enhanced the dining experience, making Krystal a standout in the quick-service restaurant sector.
