Reach 2.5 million annual visitors on 42 ft. of dynamic digital content.

Be among the first to share your message on this exciting new way to connect with visitors.
Overview:
Features & Functionality
The 42 ft. interactive, digital wall is comprised of three Banks, or sections of screens. Content is sourced through a shared content management system with PHLvisitorcenter.com and displayed on Slides, or background images with related listings, across one Bank. Motion sensors anchored on each Bank detect and attract passerby by reacting to movement and displaying dynamic content.
Content Strategy
Each Bank displays a variety of Slides using a playlist comprised of interactive Theme Slides, digital billboard-style Ad Slides, and Sponsored Content Slides. The application randomizes the playlist so Slides appear on each Bank at different times throughout the day. The total experience is designed to surprise, delight, and ultimately direct the user to the Visitor Information Desk to purchase tickets or request more information.
Advertising Opportunities:
Ad Slides
Activating across one Bank, Ad Slides are full-screen, billboard-type ads for paid advertisers. Ad Slides rotate and play on each Bank, displaying for a full 15 seconds each rotation.
Sponsored Content Slides
Functioning like Theme Slides, Sponsored Theme Slides allow select partners to develop customized, interactive content that prominently features their programming.

Waterfront

Rediscover the waterfront.
Although situated between two major rivers, Philadelphia's natural resources became underutilized and somewhat inaccessible in the 20th century.
Ten years ago, the Delaware River Waterfront Corporation implemented a plan to transform the waterfront a vibrant destination for residents and visitors.
Today, seven parks, a trail, an outdoor skating rink, and renovated historic pier are among the new public spaces that attract hundreds of thousands to rediscover the waterfront each year.

Philadelphia's Historic District
Philadelphia's "Original City" brings together the old and the new.
The city's first borders spanned from the Delaware River to 7th Street, and from Vine Street to Lombard Street.
Today, this area encompasses parts of Independence National Historical Park, the Delaware River Waterfront, and Old City, and is known collectively as the Historic District.
Comprised of equal parts colonial sites and technology start-ups, the Historic District is home to a diverse blend of enterprises. Eclectic art galleries, boutique hotels, and outdoor restaurants abound along the cobblestone streets.
Enjoy a leisurely stroll--or rent an Indego bike share--through history!
