Galerie Place Ville Marie, a shopping center located in downtown Montreal,
welcomes an average of nearly 1 million people every month. A captive
clientele combined with lucrative sales per square foot, explains why
Place Ville Marie is sought after by many merchants eager for a wealth
of business opportunities. The Shopping Promenade is like no other,
housing an array of nearly 80 upscale shops and boutiques, as well as
a food court that groups 20 of the better known fast food restaurants.

Project Scope:
SITQ was searching for a novel and flexible way to inform shoppers
and the general public entering Place Ville Marie via the new entrance
on Cathcart and University streets. The information being displayed
would have to be presented in an eye-catching way to its business-class
clientele and would consist primarily of upcoming events, new promotions,
new services and contests that could change on a daily basis. In the
future, SITQ also wanted the ability to offer advertising space to tenants
as a value added service.
Mirada Media Solution:
Mirada Media Inc. responded to SITQ's needs with an integrated digital
signage solution composed of its ChannelView software and system along
with a NEC 57 inch LCD display panel, displaying captivating and dynamic
High-definition content. These components made Place Ville Marie the

information distribution. Mirada Media Inc. was mandated to provide
turnkey management of SITQ's new digital signage network. Elements such
as content scheduling, network programming and management, as well as
hardware monitoring and support are all performed via the ChannelView
system from Mirada Media's office in Anjou. This setup allows SITQ to
change the dynamic content on the screen as often as they like without
the added expense of sending someone on site to change a static sign.
The ChannelView system offers a digital platform for dynamic content
distribution (video, Flash, etc.) and live information sources (news,
weather, etc. from RSS feeds) which are updated instantaneously. This
unparalleled flexibility is a key factor in the increasing adoption
of dynamic digital signage in every marketplace - from retail to corporate
to educational environments, and more.

Le CML offers several medical and paramedical services including cardiology, gynaecology, urology, endocrinology, andrology, pneumology, paediatrics, as well as nutrition consulting and many other services.
Project Scope:
Le CML was looking for a novel way to inform patients and keep them entertained
while sitting in their multiple waiting rooms. As medical professionals, the clinic employees have the responsibility to disseminate health advisories and to promote information on important health issues. An added bonus for them would be if the clinic’s partners could publicize their health-related products and services. The information
needed to be displayed in an eye-catching and would consist primarily of their services, health notices, general information and entertainment.
Mirada Media's Solution:
Mirada Media Inc. addressed Le CML's needs with an integrated digital
signage solution composed of our Channelview system, a commercial grade media appliance preloaded and configured with their CV Player software along

Company Overview:
Located on Sherbrooke Street in downtown Montreal, Rotinis Resto-Bar offers casual Italian dining. Connected to the restaurant, clients can find an intimate lounge area to enjoy a few drinks and watch sport events. Rotinis is also the hotel Marriott Courtyard’s onsite dinning room and bar. This restaurant was recently purchased by new owners. Open for breakfast, lunch and diner. During the warmer seasons, an out-door terrace is also available.
Project Scope:
The young entrepreneurs that purchased Rotinis Resto-Bar needed a novel way to promote their new investment. They knew they wouldn't have much trouble getting patrons in the seats on Sunday mornings due to the reknowned brunch of the hotel chain they're located in but, to truly be successful, they needed to attract hotel guests for lunch, dinner and evening drinks at the bar too.
Inspired by recent installations at national food chains and franchises, the owners decided that digital signage at their entrance in the hotel lobby would be the way to go if they wanted to direct traffic into the restaurant, promote their speciality dishes, catering and room service, and invite patrons to "take a load off their feet" in their bar lounge and catch a sporting event on TV. They wouldn't have a lot of capital to invest due to the recent purchase and time to manage the system wouldn't be available either because dealing with suppliers and the day-to-day of the restaurant business would take it all.
Mirada Media Solution:
Rotinis chose Mirada Media because they were able to provide an integrated and low-cost digital signage solution to achieve their marketing goals. Mirada Media's solution, composed of our ChannelView system and software, became a eye-catching, patron-attracting dynamic sign simply by hooking it up to the restaurant’s recently purchased HDTV screen.
Elements such as content scheduling, network programming and management, as well as hardware monitoring and support are all performed via the ChannelView solution from Mirada Media's office in Anjou. Rotinis can focus on their core competencies without having to worry about managing their digital sign and content. The dynamic setup also allows the owners of this resto-bar to change the content on the screen as often as they like without the added expense of sending someone on site to change a static sign.

PharmaWeb Canada (PWC) is a health care product and services company currently active in the Canadian Prescription Medication Industry. The company coordinates a network of pharmacies across the globe and its main goal for the last two years has been to provide American and International clients access to low cost Canadian and International prescription medications.
Project Scope:
PWC determined that they needed an additional training vehicle to communicate to its employees in a timely, reliable and effective manner. Employees needed to be kept abreast of company operations, news and events related to the business. Additionally, they needed to be aware of employee benefits and related H.R. information, as well as local news, events and community relations activities.
PWC wanted a high-tech and eye-catching medium to communicate to employees. The delivery tool also had to be user-friendly and efficient so that the information was always easy to maintain and timely.
Working with Mirada Media, PWC made the decision to install a 42" LCD screen at their head office in Montreal. The LCD screen connects to a PC over the corporate network, so unique messages can be delivered to the location within the building from a single point within seconds. PWC also wanted to use the screen as a video conferencing tool in order to be able to effectively communicate with their numerous partners and suppliers.
Mirada Media Solution:
PWC chose Mirada Media because they were able to provide a complete cost-effective digital signage solution to fulfill their needs. The Mirada Media solution is good for more than just retail environments, from hardware to software, content creation to content management; Mirada Media offered the “one stop shop” expertise PWC desperately desired. PWC can now communicate with both employees and customers in a way that is timely, easy and interesting to the recipient.
PWC is committed to open and honest communication with its employees and Mirada Media has provided them with tools that helped them achieve this goal. PWC now has plans to purchase an additional screen in the near future to show a different stream of content that appeals to lobby visitors. |
