Guiding visitors made simple with smart Directory Boards
The Advertise Me team were a pleasure to work with from the very start through gaining a quotation for our 2 Display boards, implementation of our content and providing easy-to-follow onboarding documents. The Advertise Me Cloud Client Portal seems straightforward to manage also.
What we delivered
The Health Translation Hub partnered with Advertise Me to modernise its visitor communication and navigation experience. Our team designed and implemented a Digital Directory Board solution powered by our cloud-based software platform, delivering a seamless and user-friendly interface for staff, visitors, and patients. The new digital directory provides real-time information across two interactive kiosks strategically positioned at the main entrance and reception areas.
The solution was designed to help people find destinations, services, and information more quickly in a busy physical environment.

Digital wayfinding is most valuable in buildings and precincts where visitors need confidence, speed, and clear directions.
The challenge
The challenge was to simplify navigation in an environment where visitors may not know the layout or where to find the right destination.
The experience needed to reduce confusion, support self service, and make destination information easy to understand at a glance.
The solution needed to suit the environment, be simple for people to understand, and give the client a practical way to manage information after the initial installation or launch.
Key requirements
- Clarity: Destinations and directions needed to be easy to understand quickly.
- Usability: The experience needed to support people who may be using the system for the first time.
- Flexibility: The setup needed to support current requirements while allowing room for future updates.
- Reliability: The solution needed to perform consistently in the live environment.
- Content control: Directory and map information needed to remain accurate as the site changed.
Our approach
We focused on clear destination structure, simple navigation paths, and a user experience that could support people moving through the space.
The interface and content structure were shaped around the existing project requirements so the final experience felt purposeful and easy to follow.
How the experience worked
- Project context was reviewed: We considered the site, audience, content needs, and the role the solution needed to play.
- The experience was configured: Directory content, map information, and destination paths were configured for the location.
- Users engaged with the solution: Visitors could search, browse, and identify where they needed to go.
- The client retained control: The client could update destination and directory information when required.
- The outcome was ready for everyday use: The final result supported clearer communication and a more professional experience.
From a user perspective, the experience needed to be clear, direct, and easy to trust.
