Cineplex Digital Networks named Content Creator of the Year
Winner of three awards at the 2015 International Digital Signage Awards
Toronto, ON, May 11, 2015 (TSX: CGX) – Cineplex Digital Networks (“CDN”), continues to garner
recognition for its strategic thinking and technology, as it was presented with the Overall Content
Creator of the Year award at the 2015 International Digital Signage Awards (“IDSA”), for its second
consecutive year.
CDN received two additional category awards during the April 22 announcement, for Exhibition &
Conventions and Restaurant, Catering & Hospitality.
“We are extremely proud of our teams and of their continuously outstanding work,” said Nick
Prigioniero, President, Cineplex Digital Networks. “CDN strives to be at the forefront of creative and
technological innovation and working with top brands like Tim Hortons has helped us raise the bar
within the QSR industry.”
Tim Hortons’ Interactive Wall, designed by CDN, garnered the top prize in the Exhibitions & Conventions
category. Created for the Tim Hortons 2014 Convention, the installation set the standard for CDN’s
seamless synergy of creative and technology. The prototype was developed to showcase future
innovation for guest engagement and entertainment within the restaurant. Showcasing localized
information, interactive maps and infographics, videos, and multi-language support, the Interactive Wall
was one of the highlights of Tim Hortons’ Restaurant of the Future – a fully functional future concept
store that was built within the Toronto Convention Centre.
"We are excited to hear of Cineplex Digital Networks' recognition,” said David Clanachan, President and
COO, Tim Hortons Canada. “The Interactive Wall was one of the hallmark features in the Restaurant of
the Future and this award demonstrates CDN's talent and commitment to delivering the best digital
innovative experiences for our guests.”
