Thinking Screen Media, operating as SignChannel, was a privately held company based in Wellesley, MA, that provided digital signage services. The company's core offering allowed subscribers to enhance their promotional content on screens with dynamic, engaging information such as weather updates, stock tickers, news feeds, and sports scores. This service was designed for businesses seeking to capture audience attention by mixing commercial messages with relevant, real-time data.
The business model centered on providing a platform for this blended content delivery. Clients were subscribers who utilized the service to manage and enrich their digital displays. The market for these services includes any entity with in-venue screens, such as retail stores, corporate offices, and public spaces, that aim to improve the viewer experience beyond simple advertising.
In a significant milestone, Thinking Screen Media was acquired by Scala, a firm specializing in multimedia and design software, on April 29, 2010. This acquisition marked the conclusion of Thinking Screen Media's journey as an independent entity, integrating its digital signage solutions into Scala's broader portfolio.
