Branded Cities Network (“BCN”) and National Real Estate Development announced today an exclusive representation agreement to sell digital advertising and integrated marketing campaigns on four full-motion LED displays at East Market, Philadelphia’s transformative mixed-use development. The signage, measuring over 5,000 square feet in total, will be displayed on two retail podiums facing Market Street. Expected to be deployed starting in Q1 2017, the signs will be marketed by BCN as the East Market Collection and will be sold as a synced network. Aside from being able to deliver video content, all four digital signs will be capable of advanced Out-of-Home programming, including triggered and dynamic creative, interactive programs and advanced media metrics.

“Delivering large format digital signage to downtown Philadelphia is a fantastic opportunity for both the city and BCN,” said Steve Ellman, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of BCN. “Philadelphia is a forward-thinking market and we will be able to deliver impactful and meaningful programs to its citizens. We are honored to add the East Market Collection to our portfolio of spectacular signage that is BCN’s hallmark.”

“East Market will be a vibrant destination for shopping and dining in Philadelphia. With our project and other investments being made along Market Street, the area is returning to its roots as a center of retail and leisure activity in the city,” said Charles Norman, development manager at National Real Estate Development. “Digital signage is an important part of this experience. We’re proud to partner with BCN, as they are known for engaging and iconic digital signage programming that is customized to the culture of each city and project it serves.”
