  SCOTTS VALLEY, CA, Oct 23 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
MediaTile, a world leading provider of

    cellular digital signage solutions, today announced that Simon Wilson,
MediaTile COO, has been promoted to CEO and member of the Board of
Directors in support of the company's dramatic growth and demand for its
popular and unique Digital Sign in a Box(TM) and Kiosk in a Box(TM)
solutions. Former MediaTile CEO and Chairman, Keith Kelsen, remains
Executive Chairman of the Board, and will increasingly focus his efforts
on the company's longer-term vision and goals while evangelizing,
educating and enhancing the worldwide digital signage industry through
speaking appearances and defining industry best practices. Mr. Kelsen is
the chairperson of the Content Best Practices committee for the
internationally recognized Digital Signage [trade] Association. Both Mr.
Wilson and Mr. Kelsen remain at the company's headquarters, located in
California's Silicon Valley area.

    "I am delighted to bring Simon Wilson into the role of CEO to enable
MediaTile to continue on its path of dramatic growth and enhanced customer
experiences," said Keith Kelsen, Executive Chairman of The MediaTile
Company. "In his time here at MediaTile, Mr. Wilson has clearly
demonstrated his aptitude for operational excellence, leadership and
delivery. With more than 200 networks in operation using MediaTile
products and services, and many more in the pipeline, it is vital for us
to apply more concentrated focus and energy to this critical role."

    "Mr. Kelsen has built a global organization that is delivering worldwide
networks which are remarkably easy to deploy and use," said Simon Wilson,
CEO of MediaTile. "The business opportunities for MediaTile's unique
'Digital Sign in a Box,' cellular digital signage technology, and dynamic
media services are tremendous. Our customers experience a very rapid
return on their digital signage investment thanks to our robust solutions,
innovative technologies and SaaS delivery model. Whether they are running
a small, private store network of 20 displays, or a corporate network of
hundreds of displays across the globe, my goal is simple: to orchestrate
the continued growth of MediaTile while delivering exceptional products
and services that deliver true, and relevant, business value."

    Mr. Wilson joined MediaTile in January 2008 as its Chief Operating
Officer. In this role, Mr. Wilson streamlined MediaTile's manufacturing
and customer delivery systems to meet the growing demand for its popular
and patent-pending cellular digital signage systems. Under Mr. Wilson's
direction, the company has dramatically improved systems, processes and
delivery times for large customers, who require hundreds of displays in
the best possible time.

    Before joining MediaTile, Mr. Wilson was CFO and EVP of Operations at
SurfControl, a publicly traded internet content security company, where he
successfully guided the company through its acquisition by Websense in
2007. Prior to that he was a partner at KPMG, providing strategic advisory
and M&A services to private and public software and IT services clients.
Mr. Wilson has broad international experience covering countries in the
Americas, China, Pac Rim, and Europe as well as extensive operational,
financial and strategic experience in running, growing, raising financing,
and buying/selling software companies.

    "The market outlook for Digital Signage, and MediaTile, is extremely
bright," said Keith Kelsen, Executive Chairman of MediaTile. "Overall
market growth is still in excess of 20% per year, according to recent
analyst reports. Although other industries may be experiencing a slowdown,
this could be the tipping point for the Digital Signage industry. Digital
Signage, unlike TV, Radio and Print communication, delivers messages where
and when it matters most, in a medium that is proven to be highly
effective, and can be easily tied to performance metrics. When you combine
these benefits with MediaTile's business value, you have a communications
solution that delivers much more, for much less."
