What does CrownTV actually do? +
We're a turnkey digital signage operator. We ship commercial hardware, run the install, license our cloud CMS, design the on-screen content, and run managed services on the back end — all on one contract. From a single screen in one location to a national rollout across 500 stores, the playbook is the same: itemized quote, site survey, install, dashboard handoff, managed services. We don't just license software, drop-ship panels, or rent labor — we run the whole stack.
Where is CrownTV headquartered? +
433 Broadway, Unit 220, New York, NY 10013. We've been operating from this Manhattan office since 2012. Phone (347) 410-6890. Project managers, content design, and operations all sit in NYC; install crews are certified locally in every metro we ship. We also run satellite operations out of Miami Beach (South Florida) and Atascadero, California (Central Coast / West Coast crew dispatch).
Who founded CrownTV and who runs it today? +
Jacob Layani founded CrownTV in 2012 and still runs sales, strategy, and operations day to day. The team is lean by design — in-house account management and CMS support, an in-house creative pool for content, and a national network of certified install technicians on contract. The company is debt-free, capital-light, and profitable. We don't take VC and we don't need to grow at any cost — that's why our pricing has held flat for the installed base since 2022 and why our account managers stay on the same accounts year after year.
Who are CrownTV's customers? +
Retail, restaurants and QSR, corporate, healthcare, hospitality, fitness, convenience and gas, education, salons and spas. Featured customers include L'Occitane (150+ stores since 2019), Victoria's Secret Fifth Avenue, Herman Miller, Pressed Juicery, Janie and Jack, TravisMathew, CBD Kratom, Bonobos, Wrangler & Lee, Cole Haan, Invicta, Mercedes-Benz, L'Oréal, Cutler Salon, Exhale Spa, and Momentum Energy. See /work/ for case studies and /solutions/industries/ for the full vertical roster.
What makes CrownTV different from ScreenCloud, OptiSigns, or Yodeck? +
Those are software-only license vendors. They sell you a CMS subscription and end the relationship. We ship hardware, install, software, content, and managed services on one contract. With a software-only path you also need a display reseller, a certified install crew, a content team, and a project manager — four more vendors, four more invoices, four more handoffs. With us it's one team and one invoice.
How long has CrownTV been in business? +
13+ years. Founded 2012, NYC. We've shipped through multiple commercial display generations, two media-player rewrites, and one global supply-chain shock. 1,800+ operators are on the platform today. ~10,000 screens are running live across the customer base. Tenure shows up in renewals — our average enterprise account stays with us five-plus years.
Are you certified for enterprise procurement and RFPs? +
Yes. CrownTV is New York State and New York City WBE-certified (NYS MWBE program and NYC SBS M/WBE program). We source commercial-grade displays through authorized manufacturer and distribution channels, match indoor, high-brightness storefront, outdoor-rated, touch, and video-wall hardware to the environment, and run certified install crews in all 50 states. Documented RFP-grade response process at /services/rfp/ and WBE details at /services/wbe-certified-digital-signage/.
How do I get a quote or talk to someone? +
Quote requests go to /get-a-quote/ — we respond within four business hours with an itemized quote (hardware, install, software, content, managed). Phone is (347) 410-6890. Email is hello@crowntv-us.com. For RFPs and procurement, /services/rfp/ has the structured response process.
