Company
Born to Innovate. Built to Last.
Message Point Media of Alabama was founded in 2014 to bring data-driven digital signage to agencies of all sizes through a genuinely managed service. A decade later: nearly 5,000 screens, 130+ cities across North America, one promise kept.
Leadership
Founded on one idea
Bryan Gilliom started MessagePoint Media in 2014 on a conviction the industry still hasn't caught up to: an agency shouldn't have to become a signage company to run great signage. Everything since follows from it: the managed-service model, the in-house build, the agency-driven roadmap.

Managed-service DNA
Founded in 2014 on one idea: agencies shouldn't have to become signage companies to run great signage.
Agencies ask us to build
Our rail display line exists because an agency asked for hardware the market wasn't offering. That's how our roadmap works.
Life-of-project support
We sell subscriptions, not warranties. That means we're still on the hook, and still around, years after go-live.
Standards
Built to the standards that matter
SAML SSO
2FA and full audit logging, encrypted end to end

Roadmap transparency, on purpose
We publish our roadmap, and we treat that as posture, not risk. An agency planning a five-year capital program needs to know what's coming and what isn't, so we draw an honest line between what shipped and what's previewed. It's the practical form of a rule we hold ourselves to: one percent better every day.
