Norton’s executive vice president, Mike Norton, selected Watchfire after considering the other qualified manufacturers in the business. “We’ve always been drawn to the image quality and durability of Watchfire’s boards. With the latest release of Watchfire’s Ignite™ Online software, we’re convinced that Watchfire offers outstanding displays, as well as outstanding software, which allows our customers to use this media platform correctly.” Watchfire operates like a trusted partner and consultant, even working with Norton as a sounding board during the development of Ignite™ Online. “We first experienced their partnership approach when we were invited to provide input into their software offering. They were able to incorporate everything that we asked for,” explained Norton. “They continued to impress us during this recent installation when they volunteered to help us with brightness tests and other key analyses that were critical to the zoning process. Working with Watchfire has been a great experience and we certainly look forward to working with them again in the future.” With its True-16mm, True-19mm and new E-16mm, Watchfire has an entire line of digital billboard products to suit most any need.
