World-leading cinema software and content delivery company Unique X is excited to announce an agreement with Italy’s leading cinema pre-show advertising provider DCA Srl (Digital Cinema Advertising) for the network wide deployment of Unique’s Advertising Accord solution.
The agreement will allow DCA to utilise the full product scope of Advertising Acord, supporting an end-to-end workflow through enabling advertising sales, scheduling with automated advertising delivery and placement to DCA’s Exhibitor partners – The Space Cinema and UCI circuits – servicing 77 locations and 774 screens.
Advertising Accord is the leading cinema advertising platform, powering cinema advertising sales companies across 5 continents. DCA will be able to harness the power of Advertising Accord to increase advertising revenue through intelligent automated workflows for pre-show sales, inventory management, dynamic scheduling and content delivery.

We look forward to long and fruitful partnership with DCA Italy.
