LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Creative Realities, Inc. (NASDAQ: CREX), a leading provider of digital signage and media solutions, today announced it has won the 2025 Digital Signage Experience (DIZZIE) Award in the Venues category for its Digital Transformation at Rogers Arena project in Vancouver, British Columbia. The recognition celebrates Creative Realities’ collaboration with Canucks Sports & Entertainment to deliver a large-scale digital transformation that elevates the fan experience, improves operations and drives new revenue through innovation.

“Winning the DIZZIE Award showcases the creativity and precision our team brings to every project,” said Rick Mills, CEO at Creative Realities. “This recognition is especially meaningful because it celebrates the intersection of technology, design and storytelling that defines our work at Rogers Arena and beyond.”

At Rogers Arena, Creative Realities led a complete digital modernization of the venue, installing more than 900 IPTV and digital signage endpoints throughout concourses, clubs, suites and retail spaces. The deployment is powered by Creative Realities’ Clarity™ Digital Menu Board software, integrated with a managed IPTV and digital signage platform to deliver real-time content, promotions and synchronized fan experiences across every screen.

Key innovations include:

“Moments of Exclusivity” that synchronize all screens during major plays or celebrations.
POS-integrated digital menu boards that enable instant pricing updates and targeted promotions.
A hospitality-driven content strategy that aligns the Canucks brand with elevated food, beverage, and retail experiences.

“The DIZZIE Award validates the vision we share with our clients to create smarter, more connected environments,” Mills added. “Rogers Arena shows how digital transformation can turn a venue into a living, breathing brand experience that inspires loyalty and excitement with every visit.”
