What partner sites say
“The MidTown Cleveland Dashboard above our checkout counter helps us to communicate that we are locally owned, locally operated and locally involved!”
“The two Dashboard screens in the entrance of the building keep residents up to date with cultural and career opportunities in the community and provide CMHA with a means of sharing important information”
“The Dashboard display in our lobby helps us to welcome and engage Fatima visitors and allows us to share our offerings with the broader community”
Modes of information delivery
How a screen works
When nobody's using the screen at Dave's Market, it cycles through three kinds of content: app content shared across the neighborhood (Community Voices, the Citywide Dashboard, the calendar and jobs board), the MidTown Story, and Dave's Market's own content, shown only on its screen.
Anyone can take over a screen from their phone: scan the QR code, choose content or take control, and watch it play. Tap More to keep reading on the phone.
