New York, NY, July 5, 2005 – AGN Professional, a leading provider of specialty display solutions has taken a further step toward solidifying itself as a key player in the digital signage industry with the hiring of Richard Perry as Director of Client Solutions.

Mr. Perry has played a role in digital signage integrated solutions over the past several years working with Fortune 1000 companies focusing on retail, automotive and financial markets. Most notably, while at Convergent Media Systems, Mr. Perry sold the Borders Books and Music digital signage network initiative, a solution utilizing their Sony partnership.

This move places AGN Professional in a position to aggressively pursue the largely dispersed digital signage market with their media player and content management line of products and services. “We were seeking a way to make an impact in the market. With Mr. Perry’s wealth of experience in this growing segment, I am confident and very excited about the future of this core component of AGNPRO,” says Minson Chen, President of AGN Professional.

“The marketplace,” continues Mr. Chen, “is ripe for signage products that have network and non-network requirements with simple and intuitive content management and distribution software. I feel we are very well positioned to offer a solid, cost-effective solution to any organization needing dynamic messaging.”

Mr. Perry’s background is well groomed for the digital signage industry. While a veteran of television in the Detroit market, he accumulated several awards for his creativity and production execution. Since 1999, he has been a part of the audio/video integrated services industry. He is a 1982 graduate of Michigan State University receiving his B.A. degree in Telecommunications with a Political Science minor.
