The newly-re-opened Filter coffee shop, located in Wicker Park, now has their very own RedPost/Sign as a part of the Wicker Park Bucktown network of signs. It’s the first Sign we’ve mounted on cement board; did I mention the inside of Filter has an amazing, modern-ish design with lots of different materials and looks awesome? [...]

Spring is here and the annual uptick in ads on RedPost is here as well. So much to do, so little time! Here’s some highlights from Goshen: And, of course, our newest network in Wicker Park Bucktown also has lots going on: That’s a lot of nice looking, well-designed posters, although several are quite wordy.

RedPost/WPB on MediaPost

December 24th, 2009

I’ve been reading several of MediaPost’s e-newsletters for about a year and a half now, my favorite being their Online Media Daily – Section 2, and to my surprise this just popped into my inbox, courtesy of Google Alerts: Two of the sweet spots for digital out-of-home advertising are convenience and distraction — using technology [...]
