A digital signage system and method for centralized management of digital media content with distributed display of the digital media content. The system includes a centralized data processing system having a database containing digital media content, the digital media content implementing a retail promotion having a specific start date, a specific end date, and identities of a number of distributed particular machines implementing the retail promotion; and a first network connection; a number of particular machines implementing the distributed display of the digital media content, each particular machine having a central processing unit, a display, and a memory storing the identity of the particular machine; a program executing in the memory; and a second network connection. Each of the particular machines intermittently connects to the centralized data processing system through the first connection and the second connection, and the centralized data processing system receives the identity of the particular machine and downloads the digital media content to that identified particular machine. The program executing in the memory of each of the plurality of particular machines transforms the downloaded digital media content into a two-dimensional field on the display representative of the retail promotion.
