Poppulo Impact Award: Bryan Algeo Recognized for Excellence at Enterprise-Scale Digital Signage

Bryan Algeo, Manager of Experiential Production and Technology at Comcast, has been honored with the Poppulo Impact Award for his outstanding contributions to Comcast and to the digital signage industry as a whole.

Since joining the company in 2018, Bryan has played a pivotal role in deploying and optimizing an enterprise-grade digital signage network designed to enhance employee communication as well as enable impactful employee, visitor, and customer experiences across Comcast’s 30 office locations.

Key Achievements Under Bryan's Leadership

1. Enterprise-Wide Deployment: Bryan spearheaded the implementation of a centralized governance model for Comcast's digital signage network, while enabling local content contribution. This approach ensures consistency in branding and messaging across the organization’s 600 digital signs, while allowing individual regions to tailor content to their specific needs.
2. Cost Savings and Efficiency: By consolidating all regions onto the Poppulo platform, Bryan has significantly reduced costs associated with multiple, duplicative platforms. This consolidation has not only streamlined operations but also decreased IT management needs, resulting in substantial cost savings and improved efficiency across the organization.
3. Driving Company Initiatives: Bryan's use of digital signage to create an interactive "patent wall" showcases Comcast's commitment to innovation. This initiative highlights the company's technological advancements, fostering a culture of innovation and pride among employees—and promoting continued employee-led innovation.
4. Enhancing Time-Sensitive Messaging at Scale: Bryan worked with Comcast’s communications team to integrate digital signage with the company’s messaging broadcast system, enabling rapid deployment of time-sensitive messaging. This integration allows for targeted takeover content for specific buildings, floors, and screens, significantly enhancing the organization's ability to communicate special event information quickly and effectively to its workforce.
5. Impactful Visitor Experiences: Under Bryan's guidance, Comcast has leveraged large video walls with the capability for quick, triggered takeovers to create memorable experiences for visitors. Additionally, the implementation of similarly impressive video walls in the company’s product experience center provides an engaging and informative experience for guests, highlighting Comcast's offerings in an interactive and visually appealing manner.
6. Smart, Integrated Templates: Bryan's team developed intelligent templates that incorporate live data feeds and moderation capabilities. The company’s elevator templates serve as a prime example, delivering important company and regional information to employees throughout the day. This approach ensures that digital signage content remains fresh, relevant, and aligned with Comcast's internal communication objectives, keeping employees informed and engaged.

Accepting the award, Bryan Algeo said, "Receiving this award is such an honor for myself and my team here at Comcast. When I started, we began rolling out Poppulo's digital signage platform, and over the last six years, it’s been amazing to see everything we’ve accomplished. I see the impact of our digital signage network every day, and know that as far as we’ve come, I still think we can keep innovating and driving impact."

Ruth Fornell, CEO of Poppulo, commended Bryan's achievements, stating, "Bryan's innovative approach to utilizing digital signage at Comcast exemplifies the transformative potential of this technology for large, complex enterprises with multiple locations. His approach to digital signage is nothing short of impressive, giving Comcast a well-governed, centralized corporate setup with incredible templates that enable localized contribution. While the way Bryan and his team have integrated signage into the culture of each office sets a new standard, their use of screen takeovers and integrations is a fantastic example of using Poppulo’s technology to drive business objectives.”
