Digital Signage
With over one hundred displays across 20 sites worldwide, seen by frontline employees all the way up to executive leadership, digital signage is sort of a big deal. Able to show unique feeds based on location, display live-time content by connecting to databases, and all centrally managed, it's a very valuable communications platform I helped pioneer at DISH Network. Best practices were outlined by an Articulate Rise "How To" course.
PowerPoint can be useful for cranking out good-looking content with "minimum viable product" timelines. An unpopular opinion, I'm sure.
This signage allowed team members to visualize their new desk space, and was paired with an actual demo desk individuals could try out.
The goal of this AfterEffects-based signage was to generate excitement around a new product feature and encourage user adoption.
The names, titles, and photos in this digital signage are automatically pulled from databases in real-time. 100% maintenance-free content.
Cringey puns aside, this another example of what can be done in PowerPoint on very short timelines. The rapid turnaround gave us time to create a supplemental PC wallpaper to go with it.
To increase participation, I reframed the company's need for shift flexibility to be employee-centric. The data and animations of these two signs automatically change based on real-time numbers.
*ATO = available time off, ET = extra time (overtime).
Digital Posters
After the success of digital signage, and knowing all too well the logistical challenges of paper posters, I launched an expansion of the platform to include "digital posters" as a replacement. Centrally managed, prime real estate, more engaging, less waste, real-time. Here is the Articulate Rise "How To" guide for digital posters.
To supplement this interview video series, I designed a process that automates the isolation of the interviewee from the video background (Photoshop action), as well as created an easy-to-update Premiere Pro template that produces the final output in 20-30 minutes.
Made to welcome the newest members of a large acquisition to corporate headquarters, leveraging their branding to help them feel more at home.
To ensure safe occupancy levels during COVID-19. this bot-driven signage automatically displayed the correct schedule on the correct days.
"Playbook" is a guiding set of principles for any customer interaction. With 6 principles, each important, I animated the original poster to highlight them individually as the "beacon" knob in the lower third twists (sped up for demo purposes).
PC Wallpapers
Back before digital signage was a thing, I was introduced to communications platform management by running the enterprise's desktop wallpapers. I created a number of materials for it during that time, everything from important business updates to contests to sponsored advertisements. Later on, I augmented the scheduling and deployment process with a bot.
