smartDIGITAL builds large, multi-touch interactive ad displays (kiosks) that let consumers interact with ads to share photos, buy deals, or email content to their phone. Groupon is a partner on the platform. The displays are already deployed in Chicago and Miami, and early usage metrics are strong: kiosks are usually active 6.5 hours a day, typically host three people per interaction, and users access an average of four services over a three-minute period. The company plans to expand to 10 markets over the next 36 months. Its next product step is a full product line called Elevate Digital — wall and glass displays for indoor and outdoor installations — and the company expects to shift branding toward Elevate over time. The business recently completed a $2.7M Series A financing.
