- Charlotte-Gastonia-Rock Hill, NC-SC (1888PressRelease) August 30, 2012 - The PPL is pleased to announce that 11Giraffes, a premier Charlotte-based digital signage company, and Watusi Creative, a locally based creative studio with a civic-minded edge, have joined as sponsors of the DNC's only independent media space.
"11Giraffes is pleased to be working with The PPL and Watusi Creative to support such a historic event in our hometown of Charlotte." says 11Giraffes Chief Technology Officer, Jim Marascio. "The digital signage strategy and content provided by The PPL and their partners will prove a welcome amenity to this workspace during the DNC."
"I feel very fortunate to have been involved with The PPL from the beginning." says Watusi Creative Principal Shawn Gentry. "Not only have I had the opportunity to work with such a diverse and talented crew, but I've also been able to see the entire project develop from ideas and discourse, to an incredible feature-rich event. My decision to bring on 11Giraffes to provide our signage was an easy one to make. They are a leader in the digital signage industry and have their headquarters right here in Charlotte, so I have been able to work directly with CTO Jim Marascio and CEO Rudy Alexander to make things come together."
Digital signage provided by 11Giraffes will feature real-time integration with live social media and broadcast television coverage of Democratic National Convention events and commentary, along with event and activity schedules. The solution will be presented in partnership with digital signage hardware providers HP, NEC and Chief.
