Subscription Content
Our basic subscription provides new content every workday. This content has been created for numerous industries, including:
Our Content Addresses Many Key Issues, Including:
Accidents and on-the-job injuries are unfortunate and bad for morale, but they can also impact your bottom line. That’s why improving workplace safety should be a priority for any business. Marlin’s digital signage solutions can keep workplace safety top-of-mind and raise awareness of industry-specific issues.
Stress and work go hand-in-hand. But, too much stress can interfere with employee concentration and productivity. Our two-step approach to reducing job stress is 1] provide workers with ways to handle emotions in positive and constructive ways. And 2] provide light-hearted, humorous content to amuse workers on the job.
Boost your employees’ morale and help them keep a positive attitude by recognizing their achievements and reminding them of their importance. Marlin digital signage can help your workers feel appreciated with content that’s encouraging, helpful and sometimes even humorous.
Encouraging employees to look at the quality of their work as a source of personal pride can be a greater incentive than the company’s overall success. Marlin digital signage offers a variety of long-lasting, resonant messages that encourage continuous improvement—in output and daily performance.
“White-glove treatment” should be a goal for all businesses, but each industry has its own way of defining exceptional treatment. Marlin digital signage offers industry-specific content so you can communicate the messages that resonate best with your employees and improve customer service.
Building a workplace diversity program can be challenging and demanding. Marlin digital signage can help by raising awareness, promoting tolerance and acceptance. Our workplace communication experts have crafted sensitive employee communication that increases awareness and acceptance of all individuals.
When workers lose time due to illness or health issues, it can negatively affect other employees and their efficiency, time management, and the overall quality of work. This could lower profitability. Marlin digital signage encourages employee health and wellness by providing workers with tips and information for a healthier lifestyle. Topics include healthy eating, proper hand-washing techniques, cold and flu prevention, and exercise.
Marlin’s customer research consistently shows that employers want to encourage teamwork. At a time when collaboration is critical to productivity and innovation, Marlin digital signage content helps remind each and every employee that they’re part of a greater team—they’re “in it together.”
A zero-tolerance culture for workplace violence and bullying is vital in any workplace. Marlin digital signage helps convey this message consistently and frequently to help ensure that employees avoid workplace violence issues of all types, including gossip and bullying.
Marlin’s easy-to-use content management software offers templates and animated graphics designed specifically for your employee recognition program. In just a few clicks you can create personalized messages designed to keep your workers engaged and inspired.
Templates
Marlin also includes content creation tools that make it easy for you to communicate your message. Choose from our extensive library of static and animated templates to create quick and engaging content. Templates can be customized to include your company’s key design elements—including color palette and fonts—to ensure consistency with your brand.
Our Unique Workplace Digital Signage Content Library
Marlin’s vast Content Library gives you ready-to-go content to support your workplace projects and initiatives. Topics include specific safety issues, health and wellness, stress management, improving teamwork, and maintaining morale.

Installation
Installing Excellence
Marlin can assist you in finding a proven installation service for your workplace digital signage screens and media player, or you can install them yourself. The Marlin system uses SaaS (Software as a Service), which enables you to access our content management system with a simple internet connection and web browser.
The Marlin system was designed to place minimal demands on IT. Maintenance is never an issue—ironclad assurance programs, such as Marlin Complete Care, can be included to make sure your players are always ready to perform. And Marlin’s software updates to the player can occur automatically.
After your system is up and running, your IT department still won’t be burdened. That’s because Marlin’s software is created for non-technical users and almost anyone can easily learn to post, edit, and manage content.
The Marlin system requires only a standard broadband internet connection. The access point can be wired or wireless. Also, the system caches content rather than streaming it, saving your network from unnecessary bandwidth demands.
Marlin’s system uses secure “pull” technology, so our content is never pushed to your media player. All communication is performed with 256-bit encryption. Your media player will run safely behind your firewall and run either your company’s anti-virus software or our turnkey solution.
Where should your Marlin screens be located? Marlin can help you decide. Although our workplace digital signage screens are ideal for warehouses, factory floors, and other locations with shift workers, our basic rule of thumb is to reach your employees where they are. This includes:
- Break rooms
- Cafeterias and lunchrooms
- Check-in areas
- Common hallways
- Timeclocks
