Ryarc's digital signage software gets active across the Fitness First Gym network

December 18, 2007 - Ryarc has announced their digital signage software has been chosen by Active Media Group to power Fitness First's digital signage networks throughout Australia. Deployment has begun across the 75 clubs with the first 45 rolling out over the next six months. Three screens in each club will provide a channel for internal communication to Fitness First members while they exercise. This will consist of club messages, music, videos, news and weather but will primarily be used for revenue generating advertising.

Ryarc's CampaignManager software will be operated by Active Media Group (AMG) who manage Fitness First Media across Australia. Michael Ryan, Director of AMG said "We chose Ryarc's CampaignManager as our digital signage software solution as it is easy to use, cost effective and they had the support we require to ensure we have a reliable system. Digital signage provides accountability, movement and animation to our business model and Ryarc’s software delivers on all of these aspects and more. "

Ben Mooney, Ryarc's Sales & Marketing Manager said "I am delighted that Fitness First adopted Ryarc’s CampaignManager as their digital signage software platform. To see another Blue Chip Australian Company adopt our technology to manage their mission critical digital signage networks is exciting and a testament to the flexibility and value of our products. "

Michael Ryan, Director of AMG added "The price of LCD and Plasma screens is now at a point where Digital Signage makes sense. The flexibility of this new advertising medium is key; it requires no sign fitters, signage can be posted at multiple venues Australia wide within minutes. It has accurate reporting and most of all, movement attracts attention and Flash Animation is something that Advertisers are embracing."
