About Pattison Outdoor Advertising: The Mission
Headquartered in Ontario, Canada, PATTISON Outdoor Advertising designs interactive state-of-the-art campaigns from digital to billboards, street-level to large format hoardings in high-traffic locations Recently, however, the legacy technology infrastructure that served up all these marketing assets was starting to reach its limits.
The company’s business information database had been accumulating on a corporate internal server for decades and sales executives were finding it increasingly difficult and time consuming to find what they needed in time. This meant marketing team members were having to act as a ‘manual Google search service’ to help track down and serve up the right content to sales from the company’s vast archives to support a pitch or a client campaign. This was clearly not sustainable.
PATTISON really needed a “best-of-both-worlds’’ solution that preserved aspects of the old system that people valued and trusted, but that could be modernized to offer a fast, personal “21st century” self-service experience. Luckily, Digital Hive provided that customizable solution that would save time, increase productivity, and collaboration across the organization.
