STRATACACHE AND AT&T MOBILITY WIN DIGITAL SIGNAGE AND INTERACTIVE TECHNOLOGY AWARD

AT&T Mobility Installation Wins Retail Store Category

February 29, 2008-STRATACACHE and AT&T Mobility were collectively awarded a Digital Signage and Interactive Technology Award on Wednesday during the Digital Signage Expo in Las Vegas. AT&T Mobility’s large-scale digital signage implementation in 2007, powered by STRATACACHE ActiVia for Media, won the award in the Retail Store category.

In 2007, AT&T Mobility leveraged an extensive in-store digital signage network to promote the most highly anticipated tech product of the year. The result was the largest single rollout of digital signage in retail of 2007.

AT&T deployed 2,120 digital signs as part of 7'x3' kiosks in 1,840 of its stores to promote the new product launch. Each kiosk attracts in-store customers to the product’s promotional area, highlights the product, visually communicates key features, and boosts product sales.

AT&T Mobility utilized STRATACACHE ActiVia for Media as the enabling technology for content management and reliable delivery to the highly distributed network of 1,840 locations. Through this digital signage network, AT&T Mobility successfully promoted the new product and reinforced its up-scale, high-tech but easy-to-use image. The kiosks effectively promoted the new product and communicated how it operates in a way that opened doors to consumers who previously shied away from new technology. In addition, AT&T Mobility and STRATACAHE proficiently executed a very aggressive implementation schedule for deployment of this extensive digital signage network in time for the new product launch.

Six winners were recognized for each of six categories: Environmental Design Integration, Interactivity Innovation, Retail Store, Public Space, Hospitality, and Financial/Banking.

The judges of the Digital Signage and Interactive Technology Awards were five industry players including David Keene, Executive Editor of Digital Signage Magazine, Laura Davis Taylor, founder of Retail Media Consulting, Steve Kaufman, Editor of VM+SD, Bill Yackey, Editor of Digitalsignagetoday.com, and David Silverman, Editor of Sounds & Communications magazine.

This is the second award win that recognizes STRATACACHE's technology and role in AT&T Mobility's digital marketing initiatives. Recently, STRATACACHE also won the DIGI Award.
