A Platform for Brands

Why OOH advertising?

Out of Home is one of the world’s oldest advertising mediums but, thanks to continuous innovation, it’s just as relevant as ever.

One of the biggest benefits of OOH is that it’s experienced beyond the confines of the home. Being seen against the backdrop of the ‘real’ world helps brands to forge a sense of legitimacy, with studies showing a 26% improvement in trust when OOH is included in a multimedia campaign. This is one of the reasons why OOH is the most effective channels for delivering a positive perception to audiences .

Research also shows that OOH can uplift conversions across multiple channels. Exposure to OOH leads to a 28% increase for in-store purchases and a 56% increase in online purchases. Mobile searches outside the home are 38% more likely to lead to a purchase than those at home, presenting further opportunities for advertisers to trigger sales using OOH.

Iconic Out of Home advertising campaigns

OOH is one of the oldest forms of advertising, dating back thousands of years, however the medium of Outdoor advertising has evolved, offering more creative solutions including 3D special builds, engaging interactive ads and digital screens that can display dynamic content.

Thanks to sites like New York’s Times Square and London’s Piccadilly Circus, there are few forms of media that offer such an iconic format as OOH - here's two of our favourites!

Walkers - Tweet to Eat

As part of their ‘Do Us a Flavour’ campaign, Walkers installed tweet-activated vending machines in selected locations around London. Using modified bus shelter advertising, the vending machines generated social traction by encouraging viewers to tweet in exchange for a packet of crisps.

BBC - Dracula

Proof that creativity doesn’t require flashy technology, the BBC’s campaign to promote their three-part Dracula series made an incredible impact without a screen in sight. The bespoke billboard used a number of wooden stakes arranged so that Dracula’s shadow would appear when lit from a certain angle.
