Merging industries

Maximization

I can’t help noticing signs along the road now. Today I saw several video wall displays, one was a used car dealer that had an American flag flying digitally on his billboard out in front of the business. There is a Toyota dealer in Pensacola off of 29 that has an ad for the service department and for the Tundra then another ten second ad for the 4Runner one for a Prius going through their whole inventory. Then there was a Ford dealer North of Mobile, Alabama that showcased their service department the Ford Focus and their trucks the same way. There are others that flip ads everyone ten seconds, everything from GIECO Auto insurance, health insurance, auto leasing, assisted living facilities, churches to my favorite, barbeque restaurants. It seems kind of random.

Primary Media has created a Facebook page showcasing the companies they are advertising on their billboards. I think they are onto something here! Tommy Jennings of The Image of Magazine was telling me how he is looking for video content for businesses advertises in the print magazine and he loves the aerial video from the small UAS/Drones. I gave him the contact information for the local UAS/Drone professionals in his area. I recommended XFly for training and systems so he could get his own imagery and video for his clients the way he conceives it.

The convergence of UAS/Drone technology and imagery and LED lighting and video wall advertising is amazing. I haven’t even scratched the surface of the potential. There is so much more that can be done, better and more efficiently. With Stampede Global Media absorbing the Unmanned Vehicle University, T.J. Diaz from XFly UAV and XFly Films with in New Business Development for XFly Films and DX2 Broadcast. They say “Birds of a feather flock together”.  I haven’t even gotten all of these players talking yet but I am sure after this blog, I can make it happen. There is about to be a technological revolution once these industries really start to jell and this blog is getting that party started.
