1 Aldeasa Uses Digital Signage Managed by ASVideo to Broadcast Advertising to More Than 100 Million People in Spain s International Airports Aldeasa is one of the leading airport retail operators in the world, with a wide retail portfolio in both Spanish and international airports. Aldeasa s management recognized that to communicate with its transient and sometimes time-pressed customers, it needed to develop a new way of communicating effectively. Its answer was to develop a high-impact, multi-screen and multi-location digital signage network. The main objective of Aldeasa s digital signage network is to provide an engaging, informative and valuable digital channel to promote its brand, products and services to its customers. A secondary objective is to provide a commercial platform from which to generate incremental supplier revenues from airtime sales and incremental uplift on advertised products and services. Future-Proof After conducting a thorough exploration, Aldeasa decided that the companies Match Ingenieria de Sistemas and Scala Certified Partner ASVideo were the best choices to manage Aldeasa s digital signage network. These two companies provide the optimal expertise for Aldeasa s digital brand and content strategy. By using Scala software they can optimize and execute the content creation, scheduling and content management services that are needed for this multi-location network. The network that was created by ASVideo and Match Ingenieria de Sistemas was designed to accommodate not only the initial set-up at Aldeasa s first project, but also to be a framework for adding new networks. The platform can be managed centrally by ASVideo and can be multiplied without limitation. Designed to provide customers with the latest information and promotional offers, the network provides various channels of product, price and promotional content relevant to the zone the customer is shopping in at that time at a certain airport. The network also gives Aldeasa s staff the ability to upload messages directly to the screens for specific promotions. Aldeasa started its digital signage network at Palma de Mallorca Airport and has recently expanded the platform to Malaga airport and the country s main international airports in Barcelona and Madrid.

Madrid The latest addition to the Aldeasa network is the platform at Terminal 4 of Madrid Barajas Airport.

It is a two-by-two screen configuration, and it resembles a soccer goal. This installation is exclusively used by Adidas for commercial purposes.

These video walls display various eye-catching Aldeasa promotional offers, along with messaging that promotes the luxury brands offered in the Aldeasa stores.

The sole purpose of these screens is to reemphasize the luxury brands within the Aldeasa store.
