Marketing and all things related

Now maybe you think you own a kick-ass plasma television bigger than your dining room table, but you ain’t seen nothing yet. A blimp company in Orlando named The Lightship Group just launched a 170 foot blimp which sports an enormous 70 by 30 foot LED screen. This puppy will run television commercials visible from 1000 feet in the air. We’re not talking scrolling headlines, but full commercials, movie trailers, or what an advertiser decides. Of course that advertiser will need $ 5 million for a year-long campaign. The blimp features new aviation and LED technology. The screen is actually a series of hundreds of light-weight small video shingles, carefully mounted on the curved surface of the blimp to be visible from any angle. So far, the blimp has only been exhibited once — for attendees at the National Broadcasters Association in April in Las Vegas. We learned about this from the Associated Press.
