Areas of Practice
PROJECT MANAGEMENT SERVICES
GCG Media Services employs highly skilled project managers to oversee all aspects of digital and static signage projects. We work to implement systems and platforms that allow owners to maximize returns on their signage assets. From choosing the right engineering, manufacturing and installation firms, to supervising the on-site installation crews, content management systems and media/brand partnerships in order to guarantee that the finished projects surpass all expectations.
Digital Out-of-Home Platforms
Property owners around the world are using digital out-of-home platforms to add significant value to their properties. These platforms can monetize nearby pedestrian and vehicular traffic, create a higher profile for buildings, and provide highly valuable promotional capabilities for all tenants. In addition to becoming commonplace in landmark environments like New York’s Times Square, LED-display installations are also generating advertising and sponsorship revenue and boosting rental rates at well-located properties worldwide.
In recent years, GCG Media Services has served as a guiding force on some of Times Square’s largest digital media “spectaculars,” as well as on other large-format outdoor installations at retail, cultural, sports, and public facilities across the United States.
