Manchester: Creative, Digital and Tech SectorAxel Kullick
Manchester’s creative, digital and technology sector employs nearly 70,000 people across 5,000 companies which contribute to the region’s £56 billon economy.
In a new COVID-19 world, what do consumers think, feel and do with regards to the OOH space? And what is their perception of brands currently using OOH? We aimed to find.
“The Mobility Mindset”, a new research study conducted by Posterscope, has revealed that almost two-thirds of people are feeling more appreciative of their local community and have a heightened emotional connection to their out of home environment since the pandemic, and this is having a “knock on” effect on noticeability and positivity towards OOH advertising.
Research was conducted by Dipsticks Research Group using its online panel, Panelbase, amongst 1,025 nationally representative adults aged 18-55. Fieldwork took place from Thursday 24th to Sunday 27th September, directly after the new national measures were introduced on September 24th.
Now we are a few months into the Government’s recovery strategy, we are fully aware that our time at play will not be returning to the way it was for some time yet.
Much like other parts of Europe, we have seen a staggered re-opening of shops, leisure and entertainment venues over the last couple of months, with recent announcements from the UK Government further relaxing lockdown restrictions.
This piece ‘Playing Safe' looks at the current situation and that of the near future of key areas of play; food, drinking and socialising, street parties, festivals and sporting events, and how OOH can be used in the most effective way to reach people during their leisure time.
Posterscope's piece Working out the Wold of Work looks into the changing face of work now and in the near future as a result of Covid-19. From regional differences working from home, mobility trends, new behavioral patterns , and what this means for Out of Home.
In Posterscope's Audience and Brands Head Out of Home we look at the increase in audience mobility (now 70.8 versus pre-Covid baseline of 100), the effect on retail as people flock back to the shops, and the automotive market. And we take a look at how OOH is perfectly placed to help brands capitalise on this moment.
Psi global ooh predictions post covid19Posterscope
With the sharp adoption of new technologies blurring the balance between an increasingly virtual way of living, how will the way we navigate the world change in the new normal? PSI, outline their predictions for travel and the out of home ( OOH) industry.
Since the Government published its Coronavirus recovery strategy, we have been moving quickly through the relaxation of lockdown in ‘steps’ and are now celebrating the large milestone at which non-essential businesses are permitted to reopen, if they can become “Covid Secure”. Now at Step 2, it is starting to feel like the return to normality of sorts, albeit with one-way systems, queues to enter shops and Perspex screens.
But how do we expect the high street and retailers to fare? what role will local communities play in the near future? and how will the role and behaviours that brands have taken during the pandemic affect consumer behaviour?
Posterscope’s latest article ‘All Hail Retail’ looks at SHOP in the NEAR, focusing on all these questions along with the role OOH can play in reaching these shoppers in the right locations in a dynamic, agile and relevant way.
There is no doubt that shopping as we know it, will remain changed for some time yet. Appetite is of course there; we will simply see retailers adapting and evolving to ensure customer safety.
One thing for certain, is that while there will be both winners and losers on the high street, more importantly, there will be opportunities for new businesses to develop and succeed – let’s not forget that after crisis follows a period of rapid innovation… and so we should be positive in expecting new businesses, new approaches, and new experiences on our High Streets.
To help provide a picture of people's return to the broader OOH space, Posterscope has collaborated with our mobile data partner Three UK, to analyse every postcode sector up and down the country. Last week’s mobility index was 66.9 up from 65.7 the previous week, versus the pre-Covid baseline of 100
The OOH industry is governed by human movement, and human movement is the touch-paper of global pandemics. Where it goes, so viruses go too. We find ourselves in a new and likely forever-changed world of human movement, meaning OOH must evolve to remain relevant.
To help provide a headline picture of the return of audiences into the broader OOH space, we have collaborated with our telecoms data partner Three mobile, to analyse every postcode sector up and down the country to understand the journeys people are taking to supermarkets, retail areas or trips on major roads – providing Posterscope with the most detailed understanding of mobility in the UK, and with no ‘lag’ time.
Flexibility agility relevancy will be key ingredients in post lockdown advert...Posterscope
Reflecting and respecting the mood of the country has been a key theme for advertisers during this Pandemic, with the brands that have, seeing their work shared and celebrated. What happen next with lock-down is still unclear, however it does seem certain though is that no one will be going back to what is already becoming the “old” normal for a long time, if ever. It is also clear that this will affect how advertisers communicate with customers moving forward. Flexibility, agility and relevance will be key ingredients in designing communications in the coming months, if not years.
Effectively and efficiently travelling through towns and cities has always been key to keeping a city moving in terms of business, shopping and our social lives. How we do that, and the effect it has on the environment, our bank accounts and stress levels, has been a growing debate over the last few years.
The OOH industry is built to capitalise on the movement of people with much of the industry’s infrastructure coming from transport networks. In recent weeks however all of this has been interrupted. Normal travel behaviours have been disrupted, and with changes to travel patterns comes changes to out of home advertising too.
Here we consider what a post-lockdown society might look like, and how we might travel through it, from the potential increase in car usage, to returning to public transport and the reappraisal of the rush hour commute.
Home is where the work is - WORK in the NOWPosterscope
In this edition we focus on WORK in the NOW. It’s probably fair to say that over the last two months just about every one of the 32.6 million people employed in the UK (ONS, 2019) has experienced unprecedented changes to their working lives, following the government’s lockdown announcement on the 23rd of March. In ‘Home is where the work is’ we look at the change in commuter activity, the effect on Supermarket sales figures, different audience behaviours as city workers go suburban, and relevant OOH touchpoint to address the new now.
Posterscope: Supermarket Peep: A Glimpse at UK Shopping Behaviours in the NowPosterscope
Analysis of major GB data sources for grocery retail illustrates the significant changes we have seen in shopping behaviour over the last 6 weeks. It demonstrates when these changes were most profound, where they were happening and indicates that in the most recent weeks that overall retail spend is starting to stabilise. This edition of Posterscope’ Now, Near, Next series looks at Shop in the Now, focussing on the retail winners and losers, the UK as a nation of baking and beer, the change to shopping locally and the need for advertising to be more aware of itself than ever.

JCDecaux’s Connected Commuter, run by On Device Research, is a mobile panel of 1,500 rail commuters from London/South East and provides insight across a wide number of categories. Surveys have included finance, supermarkets, fashion, media, travel, motoring and insurance amongst others.
In addition to this, in May 2013 JCDecaux launched its Connected Youth research initiative plugging in direct to 1,000 urban mobile-connected 15-24 year olds and enabling advertisers and agencies access to their opinions, habits and lifestyle choices. The Connected Youth community, also run through mobile research specialist On Device Research, gives brands up-to-the-minute insight from one of the hardest to access social groups. To further connect with this group JCDecaux have also developed an app to talk to its Connected Youth community on smartphone devices. JCDecaux will deliver short weekly surveys that will ensure advertisers get the information they need, when they need it. JCDecaux will also offer bespoke surveys at the specific request of agencies and advertisers to its Connected Youth community.

Examples of convergent OOH campaigns….
March 2013 saw the launch of Posterscope, Proxama and Clear Channel’s latest OOH campaign for KFC. Utilising over 400 of Clear Channel’s NFC-enabled UK outdoor media sites, the campaign promoted KFC’s Hot Shots Box Meal and encouraged consumers to tap or scan for directions to their closest restaurant.
All OOH site locations were stored on Proxama’s TapPoint™ platform. Tapping the NFC tag assigned to the panel redirected the consumer to a Google Maps page; this identified all of the KFC restaurant’s within their vicinity and provided them with walking directions to their closest one.
The campaign ran for 2 weeks across the UK and gathered a lot of attention from passers-by. Many consumers interacted with the campaign via NFC and QR. Highlights included:
- 60+ interactions per day
- 3rd most interacted phone was NFC-enabled
- 3rd of all campaign interactions were via NFC
Monarch ‘Always-on’
Posterscope and Carat’s latest campaign for Monarch features an ‘always-on’ approach on a live network of landmark DOOH screens in priority regions – Manchester, Birmingham and Leeds. The sites are enabled with LIVEPOSTER capability to display immediate copy updates, allowing the Monarch team to react instantly to sales data, competitor activity, flight and weather information, current affairs and locally relevant news stories.
To promote their 123 Current Account and credit card Santander wanted to save the people of Shrewsbury £1 million. They did this by creating a three day event in the heart of the town with experiential staff capturing the combined savings for if everybody switched to the 123 Products. Posterscope assisted with this project by creating new out-of-home displays across the town.
Centre Parcs Uses Virtual Reality in New Out of Home Campaign
Holiday park company, Centre Parcs, is set to stage a takeover of Waterloo station, which will use virtual reality technology and digital screens to promote its latest UK village at Woburn Forest in Bedfordshire.
The campaign, which runs from 9-13 June will deliver a 360 degree experience for commuters, who will be invited to use an Oculus Rift headset and be transported to the zip wire and high ropes course through virtual reality footage filmed at the Woburn village.
There will be a second experiential zone demonstrating a take on the archery experience with physical bows firing virtual arrows on to screens with the chance to win £1,000 worth of vouchers for the leader at the end of the week.
Center Parcs will also be displaying consumer-generated tweets and photos on the Motion@Waterloo screen as part of a competition to win a £2,000 family break.
Center Parcs worked with Walker Media, Posterscope, psLIVE, Brothers&Sisters and JCDecaux to develop the campaign.

Dreamworks and 20th Century Fox Fly Giant Dragon Over London to Promote How to Train Your Dragon Two
20th Century Fox and Dreamworks Animation have flown a giant dragon kite through London’s Tower Bridge as part of a marketing campaign for new film How to Train Your Dragon 2.
The kite, which measured 54ft from head to toe with a wingspan of 36ft – bigger than a London double decker bus – followed the Thames from its launch point in North Greenwich, using a high speed rib boat to pull the kite through the draw bridges of Tower Bridge.
The film, released in cinemas on 11 July, is an animated action-comedy starring Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler and Cate Blanchett.
The dragon kite stunt was planned and executed by experiential marketing agency psLIVE.

During a fictional graffiti billboard campaign promoting the demise of Gio Compario, Twitter saw a huge increase in buzz. OOH was the only live broadcast media during this period proving its power to influence digital behaviour.
Brand Objectives:
Increase brand consideration
Create a unique & authentic graffiti campaign in OOH
Tactical Planning:
Avoiding quality backlit and scrolling formats by selecting undesirable locations, increasing authenticity of the creative.
Fanta launched a highly interactive OOH campaign to target teenagers, which offered them the chance to physically connect with the brand. Users were encouraged to participate on a range of challenges and games through a targeted national 6s campaign, designed to seamlessly drive consumer engagement with the brand from offline to online. The ‘Fruit Throw’ game, which took place on 10 interactive screens strategically located where teenagers typically socialise, allowed users to play the game directly on screens on roadside bus shelters and shopping malls. The screens also featured a local leader board. Consumers were further encouraged to engage with the brand through Fanta branded bus stops, which were adorned with moveable Fanta stickers. People could take photos of themselves pulling their best ‘Fanta face’ with the stickers and post them on the Fanta Facebook page for a chance to win prizes. In addition, other roadside and mall 6s encouraged teens to take part in challenges, posing with 6s and uploading their photos to Facebook. Created by Posterscope and Publicis.
Quarter 1 declines 2.2% to £206.8m
Transport and Retail environments both up
Digital up 10% to £47.4m
Eight quarters of the last ten have shown growth
On the 28 April, The Outdoor Media Centre (OMC), the trade body for outdoor media owners, announced total revenues for January to March 2014. For the quarter, the headline total reported across all outdoor is £206.8m, which represents a decline of 2.2% year on year. Digital revenues amounted to £47.4m, up 10% year on year to record its biggest ever Quarter One. Digital accounted for 23% of the total.
“It’s been a mixed quarter, with two environments up and one down,” commented Mike Baker, CEO of the Outdoor Media Centre. “Revenues in the transport and retail/leisure sectors both moved ahead, but this was offset by a decline in the roadside market. Even within roadside, however, the small format 6 sheet component was up substantially. We have now seen growth in eight out of the last ten quarters, so the momentum is with outdoor as more advertisers find a need for strong creative imagery strategically placed in the active space where 88% of shopping still takes place.”
Categories which spent significantly more in the quarter on outdoor than last year include drink, clothing, computers, food, electronics, finance, and government. The top 10 advertisers in the quarter according to Nielsen were British Sky Broadcasting, ITV, Lloyds Bank, Twentieth Century Fox, Department Of Health, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Vodafone, McDonald’s, EE, and Unilever.
The importance of outdoor was underscored by the WARC Expenditure forecast published today, which reported that, of the major media, only internet, TV and outdoor showed growth in 2013.

BrightMove Media has announced plans to extend its London taxi network to 700 digital screens on top of 350 black cabs in the capital.
The rollout of the technology will begin in September, culminating in the introduction of 400 new screens by the 1 October 2014, with a total of 700 screens being introduced by the end of the year.
The top of cab service offers real-time, geo-targeted digital advertising. The latest GPS positioning technology enables brands to target specific groups of people at different times of the day – for example, “up-market shoppers” or “evening commuters”.
The network is backed by a centralised media platform that allows real-time monitoring of the network, and enables campaign management and detailed reporting for brands.
BrightMove’s moving media platform is the only Transport for London-approved product of its kind currently on the road.
Since its launch in June 2013, BrightMove Media has run more than 20 campaigns, and displayed more than 50 million ads, for a range of London-based brands, including ‘Mamma Mia’, ‘Billy Elliot’, Pepsi, Cadbury, MasterCard and Hotel Tonight.
BrightMove Media also reaches geographic areas that other out-of-home platforms cannot reach, such as the City of London.

AXA used multiple strands of location-based data alongside EE’s data on outdoor smartphone usage to microtarget ads to potential consumers.
The insurance firm says the “game-changing” approach to planning out-of-home advertising will reach decision makers for SMEs, a typically difficult group to reach, by identifying ‘hotspots’ of mobile usage near poster sites.
Brands including Lenovo and British Gas have been trailling the technique since the start of the year in partnership with Posterscope in an attempt to understand how mobile devices can pep up the performance of outdoor campaigns. AXA’s effort, which uses multiple location based data, is being served at scale.
Target areas are initially being established by merging AXA’s own postcode records of SMEs together with industry statistics sourced from the Inter Departmental Business Register to form a map of potential areas. It is then overlaid with insights from Posterscope’s audience panel, data from industry planning tool Route and EE’s mData unit – which tracks the mobile usage habits of audience groups – to identify the most relevant locations before skewing ad placements to mobile hotspots.
AXA says the approach opens the opportunity to identify target audiences through the business contracts EE hold – where by there is less than 10 contacts on the contract – allowing them to infer it’s an SME. Additionally, it can now drill further down into evaluating metrics such as awareness building and sales.
Chris Jones, head of brand and online at AXA UK, says the Havas-planned initiative is part of a wider play to adopt more innovative ways of targeting consumers through data and insight.
It brings into sharp focus a paradigm shift across the outdoor advertising industry whereby brands are using data to target people more effectively by proximity in real-time.
Lenovo ran a two-week promotion for its Yoga Pro 2 tablet in March to reach people in areas where they were actively researching gadget purchases on their smarpthones. Outdoor ads pushed to those hotspots sparked a 200 per cent increase in both ad awareness and purchases consideration, Lenovo claims. Online searches jumped by 150 per cent, the business adds.

A colourful gay pride campaign from Australia that turned ATMs into GAYTMs earned WhybinTBWA the Grand Prix in the Outdoor Lions contest in Cannes.
The campaign, done for ANZ Bank’s sponsorship of this year’s Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, involved bejeweling each unique GAYTM by hand in rhinestones, sequins, studs, leather, denim and fur, “turning the day-to-day activity of withdrawing money into a fabulous experience,” the agency said in its release at the time.
“From unicorns and drag queens to rainbows and tattoos, each GAYTM is a riot of color and textures to celebrate the festival and show ANZ’s support for diversity,” the agency added.
The GAYTM screens were also given a makeover to show messages and well-wishes such as “Hello gorgeous” and “Cash out and proud.” They also dispensed rainbow colored receipts. ANZ also donated the ATM operator fees for non-ANZ cardholders from the GAYTMs to non-profit organization Twenty10 for the duration of the campaign.
OgilvyOne’s #LookUp billboards for British Airways, which won the Grand Prix in Direct on Monday and was considered a favorite in Outdoor too, won a gold Lion.
DDB won for WaterIsLife’s Drinkable Book. Grey won for turning a Manhattan gas station into a Ewing Energies station for the TNT reboot of Dallas.
Clear Channel Outdoor created an interactive football game to tie in with the World Cup, which was played out on a giant screen during Cannes Lions.
The game, called ‘Le Grand Kick’, was powered by mobile interactive technology and played on a digital outdoor rooftop screen, equivalent in size to two double-decker buses, on top of the Grand Hotel in Cannes.
Attendees at the Cannes Lions could take a virtual “penalty kick” using their mobile phones to log into the game and swipe their screens to take a shot.
The OOH media owner worked with the digital production company Grand Visual as well as the experiential marketing agency CURB to bring the game to the Cannes Festival.
The company said the screen is the biggest digital outdoor rooftop screen in the world, standing at 16.8 metres wide by 4.8 metres high, and it is positioned on the roof of the 12-storey Grand Hotel, making it visible across the bay, day and night.
‘Le Grand Kick’ pitted creatives against advertisers and media owners. Clear Channel Outdoor created a live football league to keep track of the results, with the day’s highest scorers appearing on the screen each day.
Players could register to play at Clear Channel Outdoor screens placed around the festival and they will also be able to “sign up” for a World Cup qualifying country and compete for a national team.

International development charity WaterAid has launched its To be a girl fundraising appeal by unveiling a series of shocking adverts on over 3000 buses throughout the UK, highlighting that for millions of girls living without access to safe water or somewhere to go to the toilet, life is no fairy tale. Working in partnership with Exterion Media, the bus campaign will be seen by an audience of 37 million people over the next two weeks.
The campaign highlights how life without access to clean water and toilets is tough for everybody, but the consequences of not having these basic services affect women and girls the most. They often spend hours each day collecting water and are left vulnerable to violence and sexual assault when going to the toilet in the open.
WaterAid are aiming to raise £1million through the appeal and the UK Government will match all donations from the UK public, helping to bring safe water and sanitation to over 130,000 girls around the world.
WaterAid is also inviting the public to answer what it means to them To be a girl through their interactive online hub www.tobeagirl.org, featuring stories from girls around the world, including Madagascar, India, Uganda, Nepal and Burkina Faso
A whole host of celebrities are lending their support for the To be a girl appeal, including Samantha Barks, Ellie Simmonds, Rachel Stevens, Laura Whitmore, Helen Lederer and Suzi Perry.

New eye-tracking technology has been launched in a bid to address the growing issue of accountability in outdoor advertising.
Developed by video network CScreens, the technology will for the first time allow advertisers to see how their campaign is performing across a number of out-of-home formats and locations – from billboards to televisions in pubs – showing the number of people looking at an ad, how long they are looking for, their gender and approximate age.
The first campaign using the technology is set to run during the World Cup to measure audience engagement across TV screens at live ‘experiential’ events in London, over 330 pubs and 50 five-a-side football centres.
