Can you remember the last time you visited a business or store without seeing a screen? While you may not always notice it, digital signage is everywhere. From the moment you walk out the door, you’re met with digital menus in your local coffee shop, advertisement screens in front of retail businesses, digital directories at the office, and TV screens sharing wait times at the doctor—and that’s just scratching the surface.
With an infinite number of use cases and possibilities, businesses in all industries are embracing digital signage as a way to get critical information across and leave a lasting impression on employees and visitors, while pushing forward with digital transformation and propelling themselves into the future.
And when COVID-19 transformed the way we work and live, digital signage became the best way to communicate health and safety information, announce new guidelines, and share updated policies at a moment’s notice. Despite the initial shift toward remote work, 77% of Fortune 100 companies have reopened offices under a hybrid work model as of March 2023—meaning that their workforce is coming into the office in some capacity. And businesses of all sizes are following suit.
These office workers need access to updated information—not only to be aware of new policies and other key messages, but also to feel welcome, valued, and reassured that the business has their best interest
at heart.

Businesses today are increasingly recognizing the value of investing in digital signage to reach their target audiences—whether that’s employees, customers, visitors, or anyone else on-site.
It's more crucial than ever to demonstrate the impact and value of internal communication efforts. IC teams that rely on data to drive their strategies can ensure the comms they send drive business value—and they can prove it.
In recent years, employee communicators have taken center stage, navigating through periods of uncertainty and redefining the employee experience in an era where the traditional “workplace” is evolving rapidly.
