As part of the partnerships, Watchfire installed digital displays to help modernize the brand image at both locations, according to a press release.

The Clayworks is a non-profit organization that has been supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities for nearly three decades. Disabled citizens can make artwork onsite that can then be sold at the on-location gift shop. The site also features community resources like a coffee shop, culinary arts demonstration kitchen, and collaborative meeting spaces along with an outdoor garden and basketball court. The organization updated its former 10mm Watchfire display in the installation, replacing it with a 6mm, 4'5" x 8'3" Watchfire digital display.

"Our mission to create a higher standard of care for people with intellectual disabilities is well represented through the Watchfire display," said Rick Staab, president and CEO of Disability Supports of the Great Plains. "The display serves as a real touchstone in the community. We showcase students' artwork, invite community members to enjoy our amenities, and share timely messages that promote local events and organizations. We see the Watchfire display as a worthy investment that will continue to benefit the community, the artists, and our mission for years to come."

Quantum Credit Union installed a 6mm, 10'3" x 6'5" Watchfire digital display, which has been used to highlight content such as the credit union's partnership supporting the Kansas Humane Society.

"Updating our previous digital display with a more advanced and visually attractive Watchfire model has been an incredibly positive experience and reinforces our brand — committed to staying current and connected to the needs of our community," Jacob Burrow, vice president of Quantum Credit Union, said in the release. "The advanced resolution and programming allow our team to easily maintain brand consistency, highlight organizational and community initiatives, and target our messaging to connect with members in our growing community."
