“Broadsign is uniquely positioned to guide and accelerate the pDOOH agenda in the region, especially given its continued customer and partner successes, as well as educational initiatives like Programmatic University and DOOHX,” Richardson shared.

I can’t wait to get out and have meaningful conversations and build innovative campaigns with brands that push the boundaries of what’s previously been possible within the medium,” he added.
