Amscreen celebrates hat trick of awards

29 October 2010

Leading digital signage company scoops awards at AV, POPAI and Retail Systems Awards

Amscreen, the independent digital signage operator established only two years ago, scooped its third award of the month last night, when it picked up the Retail Systems award for ‘Best use of in-store marketing technology in retail’ for the firm’s digital screen network in BP stores. The accolade comes hot on the heels of two other recent successes for the firm, having also won the ‘Digital Signage manufacturer’ at AV awards and ‘Best Digital Network’ at the POPAI awards in recent weeks.

Amscreen, whose networks broadcast to over 3,000 sites around the country, has already had a busy year, having secured deals with the likes of ESSO, Booker, Shell, Spar Scotland and WH Smith Travel, and with advertisers such as Sky, Cadbury’s and Tom-Tom.

Simon Sugar, Amscreen CEO, said: “We are delighted to have been recognised by our peers at the AV, POPAI and Retail Systems Awards. When we entered the industry two years ago, there was a degree of scepticism about what Amscreen would bring to the market, but I think we’ve proven to the doubters that we’re here to stay and that we are committed to removing barriers to create digital signage solutions for the masses.

I’d like to thank all of the staff at Amscreen as this would not have been possible without their efforts and we hope these are the first of many awards that we win in the coming years.”
