Christie Microtiles - first thoughts

When I first heard about Christie Microtiles I must admit was a bit skeptical. My first thought was "why do we need a new modular video tile product?"

Premier Displays Creates Beatles Rock Band Experience for MTV Games and Harmonix

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

For the unveiling of the new Beatles Rock Band Game at the e3 Expo in Los Angeles, the MTV Games and Harmonix Marketing teams needed an experiential environment worthy of supporting what is perhaps the most anticipated release within the Music Games Genre to date.

Premier Displays & Exhibits, under the direction of the teams at MTV Games, Harmonix and Apple Corps, sought to recreate an authentic Beatles experience that would enable the Harmonix demo team to present the title in an immersive environment that exemplified the iconic nostalgia of the Beatles era.

Our collective answer to this challenge was to design the 100′ x 100′ booth around a demonstration theater that was a reproduction of the Abbey Road Studios both internally and externally. The iconic Abbey Road Crosswalk flooring framed the Faux building facade on the outside, serving as a cue line for the attendees waiting to enter the theater at interval. Attendees entering the theater were treated to vintage 60’s theater-style seating for 80 and a full reproduction of the interior of the Abbey Road Studio as it was when the Beatles recorded there.

Authenticity was added to the theater interior by mixing musical instruments and studio gear from the Beatles era with the Harmonix Controllers which shared the stage. Dynamic theatrical lighting, 103″ plasmas and a robust sound system punctuated the presentations which included professional live demos of the Beatles Rock Band game.

Once outside the demo theater, attendeeswere invited to any of 3 separate interactive demo stages on the interior of the booth where they could play and experience the Beatles Rock Band Game first-hand.

Sorin Group Agencies Win Award for 2009 Tradeshow Exhibit

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

BMA Colorado’s coveted Gold Key Award presented to Premier Displays
and Armada Medical Marketing for exhibit design

 

DENVER—Armada Medical Marketing and partner Premier Displays have received one of the top awards from the Colorado Chapter of the Business Marketing Association for the impressive tradeshow presence they created for Sorin’s Heart Valve Business Unit.

 

The 40th Year Celebration tradeshow exhibit was first displayed at the Society of Thoracic Surgeons’ 45th Annual Meeting, which took place January 26-28, 2009. The joint effort between Armada Medical, Premier Displays and Sorin Group resulted in the “Best of Show” award from the society and surgeons sending kudos to the Sorin Group marketing team for the impact their presence had this year.

 

“BMA Colorado only awards the Gold Key award to the companies that present exceptional creative with concrete marketing results,” said Julie Schlegelmilch, Director of Client Services for Armada. “We are excited that our efforts merited such an award.” Brad Lott, Account Executive at Premier Displays & Exhibits, Elaborates: “Sorin came to us with an objective to produce an environment that not only elevates their brand profile but also displays the breadth of their product line in an interesting way. The design challenges inherent in displaying their mechanical and biological heart valves were not easily overcome but after extensive planning and R&D we created a solution for them that was dynamic but also without precedent in the industry”.

 

The brand consistency of the graphics and overall exhibit architecture elevated Sorin Group’s presence at STS. The exhibit featured such notable elements as brushed metal and crystal and glass displays. It was the little touches and details that helped demonstrate the value of the product offering.
A timeline of industry firsts lined the mid-section of the exhibit, and banner graphics were strategically placed in the event halls and at private events to reinforce Sorin’s position as “the choice of cardiac surgeons worldwide.”

 

The 2009 BMA Gold Key Awards Banquet was held April 24, 2009, at Comedy Works South in Greenwood Village, CO. Julie Pettigrew, Senior Marketing Director of Sorin Group’s Heart Valve Business Unit, accepted the award.

Premier Displays Announces New Green Exhibit Program

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

Premier Displays & Exhibits, Inc. announces the launch of a new environmental responsibility program called GreenExhibit®. The program is designed with the The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ in mind. The system utilizes four distinct dimensions to create environments that not only incorporate LEED accredited materials but also incorporates fundamental processes during the design and construction phases that are environmentally responsible.

The basis of the program relies upon four main elements: recycled/salvaged content, overall design sustainability, production process waste optimization, and recycling of exhibit at decommissioning. Each of the four program elements is designed to address a current shortfall associated with conventional exhibit design, fabrication, transportation and handling relative to the known impact of these activities on the environment. In addition to the exhibits themselves being engineered to be environmentally-responsible, multiple processes have been pioneered that will enable an exhibitor to enjoy a reduced waste signature at each event. An example would be our custom paperless literature management system, a custom branded web-based application designed to be used in-booth allowing literature distribution and lead capturing electronically via web-based kiosks and custom touch screen interfaces.
