Introducing BrandCast

Digital signage has been stuck in the past for too long. Expensive hardware, complex software, and inflexible systems that require IT experts to update a simple menu board. We’re changing that.

The Problem with Traditional Digital Signage

Traditional digital signage solutions suffer from three major issues:

  1. High Cost: Hardware costs $500-2,000 per display, plus monthly software fees
  2. Complexity: Requires IT staff or expensive consultants to manage
  3. Inflexibility: Can’t easily update content or adapt to changing needs

For franchises, there’s an even bigger challenge: coordinating content across multiple locations while maintaining brand consistency.

The Franchise Challenge

Imagine you’re a franchise owner with 50 locations. Your corporate office creates branded content for promotions, menus, and announcements. But here’s the problem:

  • Corporate needs control over brand messaging and promotional campaigns
  • Local franchisees need flexibility to customize content for their specific location
  • Regional managers need oversight across their territory
  • Everyone needs real-time updates without coordinating USB drives or email chains

Traditional digital signage makes this nearly impossible. BrandCast makes it effortless.

Our Solution: Shared Content Libraries

BrandCast is built specifically for franchises and multi-location businesses:

  • ✅ Brand Libraries - Corporate creates approved content once, all locations can use it
  • ✅ Regional Libraries - Area managers share content across their territory
  • ✅ Local Libraries - Individual locations upload location-specific content
  • ✅ Quota Management - Control how much content each level contributes to displays
  • ✅ Real-time Updates - Push changes instantly across all locations
  • ✅ Turn any tablet into a display - No expensive hardware required

How It Works

  1. Corporate uploads a new seasonal promotion to the Brand Library
  2. Regional managers add region-specific events to their Regional Library
  3. Local franchisees add their store hours and local specials to their Local Library
  4. BrandCast combines content from all three libraries based on your quota settings
  5. Every display shows the perfect mix of corporate, regional, and local content

All without a single email, USB drive, or IT ticket.
