Editor's Notes
- OOH is one of the only forms of media that continues to see audiences grow year after year as we spend more time out of our homes and do different things with our time.
- This section examines how we can understand the connected consumer in greater depth. It encompasses industry and proprietary insight, media owner consumer panels and Route, OOH’s revolutionary audience measurement system.
- Ngen , a unique audience insight community, was launched in June 2013. Clear Channel’s new audience insight community Ngen, allows Clear Channel and their brand partners to participate in a hosted, two-way dialogue with 400 engaged and connected 18-34 year olds from eight major UK cities. The community will cover a wide range of topics close to the hearts of its participants, creating great insight for this influential audience. Ngen participants are from a tech-savvy generation who are used to documenting their lives through social media and are happy to interact online. Ngen builds on the community’s familiarity with social media to gain a deep insight into who they are, where they go and what they think about the latest hot topics. In a recent edition of Clear Thinking, Clear Channel highlight some of the main insights from their Ngen research, run in collaboration with Crowd DNA and the Trajectory Partnership, that took place throughout 2013. The community ran for 18 weeks, alongside two waves of quantitative online research. The research focused on the knowledge, attitudes and behaviours of a generation that represents the future of the UK. By working closely with 8 brands partners including Dixons Store Group and Channel 5 it generated the following insight: • 95% Ngens still shop on the high street with the corresponding figure of 71% for online. Smartphones are also key with nearly half using smartphones for shopping related purposes • 52% of Ngens rated their smartphone as the technology they would keep above all else • 63% of Ngens agree advertising is important to a brand’s identity and almost half say they prefer targeted communication over general advertising. The contextual opportunities provided by OOH advertising is therefore key to this audience • Ngens are also one of the audiences that are key to the UK economy returning to positive growth. They have continued to spend and often think about the now rather than the future with 59% not contributing to a pension and 65% spending the same if not more on retail in areas such as clothing, footwear and consumer technology Detailed infographics on other Clear Channel audiences can also be found at Clear Channel Audiences - www.clearchannel.co.uk/think-big-think-adshel

- Air New Zealand on reLAX Tour Air New Zealand launched the AirNZreLAX tour to showcase its innovative Economy Skycouch and Premium Economy Spaceseat seats to travel agents and consumers across the UK. The airline, which flies daily from London Heathrow to Los Angeles and onto Auckland, toured through Edinburgh Glasgow, Preston, Sale, Manchester, Chester, Liverpool, London, Brighton, Oxford, Cheltenham and Bristol. Bringing the in-flight experience to the road, the transparent tour truck housed Air New Zealand’s revolutionary Economy Skycouch and Premium Economy Spaceseat products which ensure Air New Zealand customers arrive LA ready. The Economy Skycouch, made up of three economy seats which convert into a flat space, is the first of its kind in Economy, offering passengers the freedom to spread out and get comfortable. The Premium Economy Spaceseat is famous for its futuristic hard shell design which allows customers to recline without encroaching on the space of others. The seat comes in two variants to cater for customers wanting to relax with a travelling companion as well as those who prefer privacy during a flight. Air New Zealand’s revolutionary seating, along with in-flight entertainment and award-winning food and wine mean customers in every cabin arrive refreshed and ready to enjoy the delights of LA. At each city stop, Air New Zealand invited local residents to step onboard to meet the cabin crew, try out the award-winning seats for themselves and share their experiences on social media. Air New Zealand also launched the nationwide #AirNZreLAX competition giving people the chance to win return Economy flights for two with Economy Skycouch upgrades from London to LA. Competition entrants simply need to submit a photo of their best “reLAX” pose; whether reclining on the couch at home or unwinding on holiday in a hammock, via Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or online at www.airnz.co.uk/relax. The experiential campaign was planned by psLIVE. Via: FMBX
- 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.

- Art Everywhere, the initiative that brought works of art to thousands of outdoor sites last year, is launching a social media campaign to find the public’s 25 favourite artworks, to be displayed this summer. Art Everywhere wants members of the public to select the pieces they most admire from a longlist of 70 British artworks, which range from the 1500s to the present day. The artists Anthony Gormley and Grayson Perry will reveal the winning pieces on 16 July. Reproductions of the top 25 selected artworks will then be displayed on poster sites, bus stops and billboards across the UK for six weeks, from 21 July to 31 August. The public has three weeks to cast its votes and can do by visiting facebook.com/arteverywhereuk or on Twitter, by tweeting @arteverywhereUK. Out-of-home media owners have donated sites to enable the art to be shown across the UK, including Underground stations, shopping centres and roadside billboards. The project, now in its second year, is a collaboration between Posterscope, Vizeum, Clear Channel UK, Exterion Media, JCDecaux, Richard Reed, the co-founder of Innocent Drinks, the Art Fund and Tate galleries, among others. The organisers said the 2014 version of Art Everywhere would be bigger and better than last year, by showcasing a new set of British artworks sourced from public collections across the country. This year will also feature the project being tripled in duration to six weeks, as well as a featuring a cinema exhibition film about the project and winning entries, to be shown at 1,000 Vue cinema screens. The public has been invited to become patrons of the exhibition through crowd-funding it, with donations used to fund the production costs of printing the posters. Anyone who donates £10 or more will have their choice of limited edition rewards, from a postcard set, through to a 48-sheet billboard poster. The organisers hope to build on the success of last year’s inaugural show by making the campaign an annual event, as well as expanding it to include a separate project in the US during August. Reed said: “Art Everywhere is back to showcase great British artworks for a summer of art. We want the British public to crowd fund and vote for their favourites. This year goes bigger and better, including a specially created artwork exclusive from a world-renowned artist.” Artists have been involved in every stage of the Art Everywhere project and Caroline Collier, the director of partnerships at Tate, chaired the longlist panel. Emma Newman, the marketing director at Clear Channel UK, said: “Like all the best ideas, [Art Everywhere is] wonderfully simple and is a brilliantly effective way of bringing inspiring artworks to people right across the country.” Via: Brand Republic

These high profile appointments are part of the overall growth of the sales team that will provide two fully integrated agency teams with responsibility for Eye Airport’s entire portfolio including Experiential and Sponsorship opportunities. Having two agency teams will provide more bandwidth so each team can focus on their own set of agencies, providing better coverage and forging stronger agency and client relationships.Weston joins Eye Airports having spent the last two years at Clear Channel where he was Agency Director; prior to that he was National Sales Director at JCDecaux.

- Posterscope has been awarded its fourth Gold and first Platinum CPD award from the Institute of Practitioners in Advertising (IPA). Only 27 agencies were awarded Gold for their Learning Development Programmes, with just 13 of those winning Platinum. The gold accredited agencies are: 23red, Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO, Bray Leino, FCB Inferno, Generation Media, Gyro, Havas Worldwide London, Hunterlodge, JWT, Kitcatt Nohr Digitas, Leo Burnett, Lowe Profero, M2M, Material, Manning Gottlieb OMD, MBA, MEC, MediaCom Edinburgh, MediaCom London, McCann Manchester, Ogilvy & Mather Group, PHD Media, Posterscope, Starcom MediaVest Group, Total Media, Woolley pau gyro, ZenithOptimedia UK. Criteria for achieving a Gold CPD accreditation are rigorous. Agencies are required to write a paper demonstrating the effectiveness of their CPD programme on business success. Their submissions must outline a holistic approach regardless of the size of available budget and show creativity in building an energetic learning culture, in support of real business objectives.It is important that the agency delivers clear evidence that the CPD practice lies at the heart of their business and is not just an ‘add-on’.The new platinum award has been implemented to encourage member agencies to sustain their commitment to outstanding professional development. The IPA’s recent publication Why CPD is good for your business reveals that IPA CPD gold accredited agencies report, on average, 98% client retention, business growth in the region of 10% year-on-year and an average of eight new business wins a year. Full details on IPA Gold CPD Accreditation can be found here.

As Chairman of Judges this year, the team and I have engaged with some brilliantly well thought through plans that do just this. The robust, passionate and challenging conversations we had reinforce that the high standards the CPD gold award represents must be upheld to deliver the highest performing, most responsive and professional agencies in the world. Congratulations to those who have reached these outstanding heights.” Says Patrick Mills, Director of Professional Development, IPA: “The entries we’ve received have really showcased the high standard of learning and development in IPA member agencies and the incredible innovation in how the training is delivered, along with more metrics being employed and more emphasis on evaluation. What is clear is how agencies are seeing the direct and powerful link between investing in their people and business performance and proving it – long may it continue!” The IPA’s CPD programme offers inspirational career development and training through engaging and effective courses and award-winning qualifications, ensuring agency practitioners’ skills always match their clients’ needs. 2014 marks the tenth year of IPA qualifications and the 10,000th certificate will be awarded in this year. Individual citations for the CPD Gold accredited agencies from the judging panel: Posterscope In facing some of the biggest changes ever to affect the out of home agency landscape, Posterscope has provided a stunning example of how a CPD culture can successfully underpin the effort to adapt and thrive. Their submission showcases the wide range of training activities available to staff, catering for both core and specific skillsets.
- Limited Space Media Group (LSMG), the outdoor media owner, has bought the brand engagement specialists Brandspace and the Wi-Fi advertising company MOOH, in a deal worth up to £3 million. LSMG said the two acquisitions would add fresh expertise and brand engagement to its portfolio and broaden its offer of providing content to consumers via digital screen, mobile and visual media. MOOH’s Wi-Fi networks include the London Underground, Hilton Worldwide and First ScotRail. Brands are able to connect with millions of consumers every day when they access the Wi-Fi via their smartphones and tablets. Brandspace provides agencies and brands with expertise in experiential marketing campaigns in high-footfall locations, such as shopping centres and major transport hubs. MOOH will continue to operate under its existing business structure, headed by its founder and managing director, Paul Grundy, while Brandspace will continue under the leadership of its managing director, Danny Press. The deal is worth an initial £2.25 million, but the entire transaction could be worth up to £3 million if an incentivisation programme with Brandspace and MOOH’s management team comes to fruition in the years to come. LSMG now comprises five complementary media businesses, which are focused on consumer engagement across channels. The acquisitions of MOOH and Brandspace follow the rollout of LSMG’s digital screen network, Digital Showcase Media, last month. LSMG was itself the result of a merger in August 2013 between the shopping mall specialist outdoor media owner Limited Space, founded by Matt Gordon and Samantha Sida, and Integrated Signage Solutions.
