September 7, 2010
U.K. digital signage company Amscreen recently announced an exclusive deal with U.K. private hospital group BMI Healthcare to provide patients with up-to-date weather information across the Amscreen healthcare network.
The exclusive sponsorship deal will enable BMI to reach almost 3 million patients a month via U.K. weather forecasting service Netweather, which has a live weather feed that is regionally updated in real time to inform patients of what weather conditions to expect when they step outside. In addition, the network will provide a platform to advertise to patients the variety of healthcare services from BMI Healthcare.
"This advertising and sponsorship package provides us with a great opportunity to feature BMI Healthcare, (and) our local hospitals and services to a highly targeted audience at a key time in the patient journey," said Nigel Moon, head of marketing at BMI Healthcare.
