From customer summits and international events, to game-changing partnerships, and spots on the prestigious Inc. 5000 and Deloitte Fast 500 lists – Yodeck has had an incredible 2024.
Our team has spent the past 12 months working to continuously improve our digital signage platform, delivering a solution that’s changing how businesses think about digital signage, and what it can do for them. Along the way, we’ve connected with our amazing community, and collaborated with partners and customers to shape the future of Yodeck.
In this article, we’ll share some of Yodeck’s most memorable, exciting, and innovative moments from 2024.
Events
ISE 2024: For the third consecutive year, our team joined fellow industry leaders and innovators at ISE (Integrated Systems Europe) in Barcelona. With over 1500 exhibitors, the event is the ultimate destination for the systems integration and audiovisual industries. During the four day event, we highlighted our new media players and showcased our Interactive Kiosk App while taking in keynote speeches, meeting up with other exhibitors, and getting inspired by state-of-the-art technologies on display. We’re attending this amazing event again in 2025, where we’re looking forward to exploring new features and experiences while sharing our latest updates, innovations, and plans for the future of digital signage.
ISTELive 2024: ISΤΕLive is one of the world’s most comprehensive EdTech events, drawing a global contingent of education leaders, teachers, coaches, librarians/media specialists and more. Education is a key area for the deployment of digital signage, and Yodeck supports education leaders around the world, with customers in higher education and K-12 schools. In June, our team travelled to Denver, Colorado to attend this amazing event, where we engaged with more than 1,000 educators to showcase how our digital signage solutions can transform educational environments. Following the event, we got to work on building more tailored solutions for educators, to help them build more connected, more engaged campuses.
Customer summit series
2024 marked the first year that Yodeck hosted a Customer Summit Series to invite customers from around the world to join us and share their experience with Yodeck, learn more about our product roadmap, and collaborate to help shape the future of our intelligent platform.
The first Summit was held in Washington, D.C., where we were joined by Materion Corporation, Oregon State University, SumiRiko AVS, and others, for two full days of knowledge sharing, demos, and even a bit of sight-seeing! During this event, we learned more about how our customers are deploying Yodeck to reach their most important audiences, and had incredible conversations about our shared vision for the future of digital signage.
At our European Summit in Athens, Greece, we were joined by Sharp, Schneider Electric, and Swissport (just to name a few!) and – once again – the event was a phenomenal success. Our teams worked closely with attendees to understand more about their approach to digital signage, and learn how Yodeck is supporting their wider business goals.
Our Customer Summit Series will continue in 2025, when we’ll host more of these fun, collaborative events at locations around the world.
Awards and recognition
Throughout 2024, Yodeck was proud to be recognized as a leader in digital signage. Capterra awarded us for “Best Ease of Use,” and G2 recognized Yodeck for “Best Usability,” “Best Results (Enterprise),” and as a “Leader” for Summer 2024. Yodeck was also recognized as a “Most Recommended” digital signage software by Software Advice.
In August, our team was thrilled to learn that we had earned a spot on the prestigious Inc, 5000 list. Businesses on this list have demonstrated incredible revenue growth over the past three years, and are generally regarded as the businesses which are building the future. We were honored to be included among such impressive companies, and to be recognized for our recent hyper-growth.
Most recently, in November, we were included on the Deloitte 2024 Technology Fast 500. This list celebrates innovative, fast growing businesses and has included some truly game-changing companies in the past, such as Google, eBay, and Tesla. Being ranked among organizations that are driving such meaningful change was the perfect way to end our year!
Partnerships and integrations
During 2024, Yodeck announced a number of key partnerships. These partnerships are a critical part of our commitment to bringing our intelligent platform to as many customers as possible, and making it as easy as possible for everyone to get the most from Yodeck.
In the fall, we announced our partnership with Amazon. Through direct integration with the Amazon Signage Stick, Yodeck offers customers a fast, easy way to get the most from their digital screens. The partnership is already making an impact for smaller or scaling businesses by bringing professional-grade digital signage to businesses of any size. Not only lowers the total cost of ownership for budget-conscious businesses, and makes it easy to scale your digital signage strategy.
Additionally, in September, Yodeck launched its API – an integration that enables businesses to easily, quickly connect Yodeck with their existing systems and third party platforms, for the most robust and versatile digital signage solution possible. With the API, customers can automatically sync and manage media from external sources with their Yodeck assets, including layouts, playlists, schedules, and direct assignment to screens. With this enhanced capability, organizations can easily centralize their content management and scheduling to transform their digital signage experience.
Growth and business success
Over the past two years, Yodeck has doubled the size of our team, reaching 125 employees in 2024. The Yodeck Partner Program has also seen incredible growth, with over 700 partners in 66 countries. This growth has enabled Yodeck to reach even more customers around the world, and helped us to achieve a staggering 320% increase in revenue over the last three years.
Our strategic investments into our talent, our partners, and our customers remains one of our top priorities as we move into 2025, and beyond.
A vision for 2025
Looking back on 2024, it’s hard to believe that all of these achievements (and more!) happened in the last 12 months. Our team is so incredibly proud of the work we have done, and what we have accomplished together. Our vision for 2025 is even more ambitious: as always, we remain committed to our goal of bringing our customers the most affordable, innovative, and intuitive digital signage experience, from start to finish. As we continue on our journey to develop our platform and grow our business, our focus will be to continue to change the way that businesses think about digital signage, and what it can do for them.
