We're starting to see more and more satellite radio powered solutions for on-hold music/background music business, but this is the first time I've seen a company that's providing this service using both XM and Sirius.
Folks, allow me to introduce you to Dynamic Media.
Dynamic Media lays claim that they're the nation's leading provider of satellite radio and music-on-hold messaging for business applications. They provide both XM Satellite Radio and Sirius Satellite Radio for background music, as well as on-hold messaging and in-store promotional announcements.
I had the chance to ask a few questions of Dr. Ryan Santangelo (who founded Dynamic Media back in 2003) to learn more about himself, the business and about their inner workings. And here's what was learned.
Dynamic Media is a direct partner with both XM and Sirius, and is the only company in the U.S. licensed to provide both Sirius Business and XM Business service. On top of satellite radio, they provide a full suite of on-hold and in-store message products, focusing their strenghts in the engineering, design, and integration of advanced professional audio systems.
They also have a network of over 8,000 SBCA (that's acronym-speak for "Satellite Broadcast Communication Association") certified technicians. With that kind of reach and expertise, Dynamic Media can install and support complete audio systems for any size business - from small retail stores to entire stadiums - in every zip code in the United States.
National clients include: H&R Block, Marriott Corporation, Compass Group, Zeppe’s Pizza, Aurora Healthcare System, Regency Beauty Institute, Diabetes Center of America and a great number of hospitals and surgery centers across the country.
Right now they're doing a number of specialty deployments for extremely large national corporations - but thanks to some pesky NDAs - I couldn't get the goods on what exactly they're involved in. What we do know is that these deployments are some of "the largest and most creative applications of satellite radio that the industry has seen to date."
Sounds great. Can't wait to see what they're cooking up. In the meantime, it's great to see a dual-service provider like this making some waves.
