Editor's Notes
- #2 The Real World is Posterscope’s out-of-home media landscape document that captures the highlights of the year, focuses on current areas of interest, and offers a perspective on what’s coming up.The presentation is updated every month although not all the content will change, for example, OOH revenue figures are released on a quarterly basis. The main areas updated monthly are ‘who’s buying’, ‘stuff we like’ and ‘what’s coming up’. For ‘stuff we like’ and what’s coming up’ new content will be added to the existing content for anyone not visiting on a monthly basis. The remainder of the document will be updated as and when relevant.
- #3 ‘What just happened’ takes a retrospective look at the out-of-home market across 2011 and 2012 to date
- #4 ‘How’s Out-of-home’ focuses on the broad trends within the Out-of-home industry.
- #5 Outdoor hits £213.2m in Q1 2013: 0.1% growth year on yearDigital up 21% year on yearThe Outdoor Media Centre today announces that outdoor revenues grew 0.1% year on year in the first quarter, to £213.2m (£213.0m in Q1, 2012). Although essentially flat, on the back of the Olympic year 2012, this marks the seventh quarter of consecutive growth in the outdoor medium.Revenues in the digital sector grew to £43.1m, up 21% year on year. Advertisers across many categories explored new ways to use digital advertising, and media owners continued to invest, transforming sites in the best locations to digital. Digital made up 20.2% of the total outdoor revenue in Q1, up from 16.7% in Q1, 2012.“We are pleased to see growth continuing following a long run of success all the way back to mid 2011. It’s very small growth, admittedly, but we are following an Olympic year and we are now running into some very tough comps,” says OMC’s chief executive Mike Baker. “We are realistic that it will be well-nigh impossible to match Q3 especially and we know that will also impact on the full year number. But the digital growth continues apace, with 21% growth to £43m in the quarter – a fifth of the total spend in outdoor. That’s where the most impressive growth story lies.” The much awaited Warc/Ad Association figures out in early May 2013 will confirm whether outdoor has passed the threshold of 10% share of display advertising – a long held goal for the medium and, if achieved, a huge result. The continued growth of outdoor confirms that advertisers see a convergent role for outdoor alongside mobile, online and social media.
- #6 Over the last decade we have seen the medium transformed by a surge in digital OOH, innovation and creativity alongside the consolidation of media owners and a continuous stream of investment. This rapid evolution has kept the OOH landscape fresh, new and exciting thus resulting in growth that surpasses all other media with the exception of digital.
- #7 OOH is also one of the only 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. The Taking Part survey has run since 2005 and is the key evidence source for DCMS (The Department for Culture, Media and Sport). It is a continuous face to face household survey of adults aged 16 and over in England and children aged 5-15 years old. This latest releases presents rolling estimates incorporating data from the fourth quarter of year seven of the survey.The figures detail increase in 2011/12 versus 2006/2007
- #9 Days out or visits to places (68.3% in 2011/12 versus 58.4% in 2006/2007)
- #10 Visits to theatre (46.0% in 2011/12 versus 37.5% in 2006/2007)
- #11 Eat out at restaurants (73.5% in 2011/12 versus 61.8% in 2006/2007)
- #12 Visit museums/galleries (37.2% in 2011/12 versus 27.2% in 2006/2007)
- #13 Play sport/exercise(55.4% in 2011/12 versus 50.1% in 2006/2007)
- #14 Go to a cinema (53.8% in 2011/12 versus 42.3% in 2006)
- #15 Between 1995/97 and 2010, the average distance travelled by bus in London has nearly doubled (+90%) to 81 miles per person per year, while the average distance travelled by other local buses is now similar to its 1995/97 level at 226 miles per person per year. Rail travel (surface rail and London underground) accounted for 9% of all distance travelled in 2010. The average number of trips and distance travelled by surface rail has increased overall between 1995/97 and 2010, by 61% and 58% respectively. The latest year shows a rise in surface rail travel, reversing the downward trend of recent years. Trips by London underground increased by 12% between 1995/97 and 2010, while the average distance travelled has increased by 23%.
- #16 And the environment is changing to meet our demands.......more pubs, more gyms, coffee shops etc....Overlay this with the fact that the world is now surrounded with technology and emerging new medias, it is plain to see that the last 50 years has seen an incredible amount of change. As a result OOH has had to evolve and adapt to stay alive and it is the sheer fact that OOH is stitched into the very fabric of our world that has allowed the medium to quickly embrace this transition in offering increased opportunities and ways to talk to these audiences.....Today OOH is reacting to the surge in technologies by providing a perfect partnership to leverage multimedia conversations.
- #17 The Outdoor Media Centre today announces that outdoor revenues grew 9.5% year on year in 2012, to £970.1m for the full year 2012 (full year 2011 was £886.3m).
- #20 Now in its 4th generation....which includes the following additions...The e.diary- Active purchasing each half hour. They also ask the respondent to tell themhow much they have spent if they have bought something. This allows them to find out more about purchasing behaviour in general. Where people are when they are buying – how much of it happens online or when they are out and about. Whether major purchases at the point of sale are made when people are with others or when they are alone. And of course to enable them to understand respondent’s media consumption just prior to actual purchase. -At the end of the half hour e.diary questions a screen of 12 emoticons have been added which respondents are asked to click on to reflect their mood state. The Self Completion Questionnaire: - More questions have been added on social networking and use of social media. - The technology section has been revised to reflect the ever changing technology market and questions about use of tablets and e books have been introduced.-In the television section respondents are asked about the platforms they use to watch content including ipads, internet connected televisions and 3D TV sets. -There are also new questions relating to product placement on television for the first time. And the VOD questions have been completely revised and expanded. - For radio respondents are now asked about radio listening via an app with frequency levels. -For newspapers and magazines respondents are now asked about readership via electronic devices for the first time, by title. - The outdoor section has been revised to include more questions about digital screens. - The gaming section has more questions relating to games played on the internet rather than just hand held devices. - The internet section has been radically revised and now includes many more frequency questions in terms of both sites used, activities on the internet and location of use.
- #21 Through to Posterscope’s proprietary consumer survey OCS is the UK’s only OOH consumer survey, based on a representative sample size of 11,000 adults, it focuses on their OOH activities, their attitudes towards and opinions of advertising in different environments, and most importantly their typical moods and mindsets in different environments. Available audiences include all the standard demographic groups plus detailed audience segmentation (matching client specific audiences), category enthusiasts, WOM influentials and social and mobile audiences. Typical areas of analysis include weight of media consumption, travel behaviour, thoughts when travelling, OOH environmental effectiveness, OOH formats noticed, intention to purchase, actions taken in response to OOH advertising, etc.
- #22 The new OCS5 Survey asks consumers what product categories they plan to purchase and which they buy more on impulse. It then delves deeper into the triggers for each product category as to what the key drivers of impulse purchases are ... Giving us a greater understanding of the decision making process across a wide range of categories So for example ...Pay Day is a key trigger for impulse purchases particularly in the categories of fashion and entertainmentMood is more important for impulse purchases for confectionary/snacksAnd Peer pressure/recommendations play a key role in impulse decisions when going to the cinema/theatreThis new OCS insight can also help planners be more defined with their target audiences for any given brief.So for example a confectionary brief might wish to target 15-34 who buy confectionary as a pick me up ....So using the new OCS Insight we can be far more defined when creating our target audiences to plan buyi.e. 15-34, regular confectionary purchasers, who purchase confectionary on impulse AND their mood is a key driver of this impulse purchase
- #23 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ii2xy9VaDA4To even being able to measure real-time sentiment.As part of the Olympic celebrations, EDF created a spectacular nightly lightshow on the London Eye, based on the mood of the nation. An algorithm tracked all positive and negative Olympic tweets from the 10 million UK users to give a positivity percentage, which is translated into illumination on the London icon. Visitors could participate in this interactive campaign through digital and social media activity.
- #24 And the real-time city is now real! The digital revolution has layered a vast system of cameras, communication devices, microcontrollers and sensors over our environment, enabling entirely new ways to imagine, monitor, and understand our cities. These systems have a value that goes beyond their original purpose: the digital exhaust of cellular networks reveals social and economic patterns, tracking systems highlight global material flows, and digitally managed transportation fleets address a city's mobility. Taken together, the impact of digital networks on cities will be as significant as any past human undertaking.LIVE Singapore!, an ongoing initiative by the SENSEable City Lab at MIT, closes the feedback loop between people moving in the city and the digital data generated by their actions. The project's platform allows for the collection and combination of multiple data streams and provides access to data through dynamic visualizations that offer new insights into Singapore's urban dynamics.LIVE Singapore! provides people with access to a range of useful real-time information about their city by developing an open platform for the collection, elaboration and distribution of real-time data that reflect urban activity. Giving people visual and tangible access to real-time information about their city enables them to take their decisions more in sync with their environment, with what is actually happening around them.Check out the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aEPkyOBtRo
- #25 And of course we have Route, the OOH industry’s audience measurement system.Route, which launched on February 26, replacing Postar, is OOH’s revolutionary new audience measurement system enabling greater targeting across more environments than ever before. It incorporates the latest measurement technology and covers all major formats – delivering an industry currency which will allow OOH to be truly accountable in this increasingly multi-media, multi-platform world.
- #27 The next two charts demonstrate how advanced the new Route system is compared to the old Postar system. From the audiences that can be measured, the scale of geographic locations, the measurement of dynamic frames and the diversity of formats and environments through to day-parts included, illumination facts and formats and location and attributes.

- #31 ‘Who’s Selling’ briefly talks about the OOH media owners and their plant.
- #32 There was a major shake up amongst the media owners in 2009 when Titan Outdoor fell into administration and their plant was taken over by JCDecaux (rail and POS) and Primesight (large format roadside) altering the sales dynamics of the medium. Since then SOV has remained relatively static.
- #33 With change came a renewed sense of focus and media owners are continuing to enhance the overall OOH proposition by reviewing their sales portfolio. Previously, when one media owner would relinquish a site/piece of land, another would quickly buy it up and erect a panel. Today this is not the case as media owners are collectively working to improve the quality of their plant with massive investment into existing sites and also into the development of high quality digital investments.
- #34 ‘Who’s buying’ provides an overview of who is spending what, where, when and why.

- #38 ‘How's digital’ provides a broad overview of the digital market.
- #39 You may find it quite surprising that it is the UK and not Asia that is the global leader of the digital OOH market. They do in fact have 35% of all worldwide screens but their government has limited their ability to be networked so it is difficult to plan, buy and facilitate a campaign on anything other than a site by site basis. This is not the case in the UK as the majority of screens are networked, making this market one of the most sophisticated in the world and allowing clients the opportunity to capitalise on the benefit of digital Out-of-home – planning by day part, location, audience, environment and mindset to mention a few. This means that, for example, it is now possible for a client to advertise ice creams in city centres on days when the temperatures reach over 25c!Number of mainstream OOH advertising screens Worldwide : c.2,500,000% of located in Asia : c.35%% located in USA & Canada : over 50%% located in UK : c.8%

- #61 Child Abuse Poster Deliver Encrypted Message Only Children Can SeeThe Spanish organisation ANAR recently released an ad campaign that can only be seen by the children suffering from abuse – without alerting their abusers in the process.Using a technique called lenticular printing – which is also used for 3D posters – the foundation has created a poster that displays different images depending on the angle it is viewed from.So, for anyone over 4’5″ they see a poster with a normal child and a slogan that reads “sometimes, child abuse is only visible to the child suffering it.” When viewed from the height of an average 10-year old boy however, the image is a child with bruises on their face, a hotline number and the message, “if somebody hurts you, phone us and we’ll help you”.

- #64 The world is being transformed by technology, changing how people behave, especially when out-of-home…This is evidenced by the way we are having to re-define OOHTraditionally positioned as posters and screens that you can put ads on. Maybe a bit of experiential too.Today’s OOH media infrastructure looks very different...It’s all kinds of bespoke placements, exhibition spaces, client owned inventory and BTL retail comms.Plus the technology that consumers use when they are out and about - in principle, a laptop can be just as OOH as a posterThere’s a whole range of things that can be layered on top of straight advertising;Services (search, public utility content on screens)Experiential conceptsPlatforms (Facebook, twitter)Content (YouTube, DOOH ‘programming’)Commerce (virtual store posters, downloadable vouchers)Games (on mobile, DOOH or both together)So what we have here is very much a bought, owned and earned OOH ecosystem of media, technology, content and experience, with lots of interconnected and interdependent partsWhat’s interesting about the OOH ecosystem is that it overlaps with other major globalecosystems e.g.;Google (video – YouTube, search, mobile display, Gmail, Google+)Facebook (website, mobile app/site, f-commerce)apple (i-phone, i-Pad, i-tunes, i-ads)Amazon (app, website, affiliate)But unlike them, the OOH ecosystem isn’t dominated by any large multi-disciplinary multi-nationalsPosterscope aims to help bring a lot of this together.

The Countryman was placed on a 15% slope, held only by a thick rope, while a Bunsen burner was placed under the rope and remote rigged to their live streaming app, where each “like” generates you a burst of flame on the rope in real time…If your burst of flame broke the rope and set the MINI Countryman free, it was yours to keep! This is another great examples of the real and digital worlds combining.
- #93 Eurostar screens consumer conversation live on the Tube Eurostar launched a live advertising platform to integrate social media and consumer conversation into its mainstream advertising activity on 60 CBS Outdoor XTP screens and 100 LCD screens across London Underground stations.The campaign promoted the international connection from London to Amsterdam via Brussels and is expected to be part of the brand’s activity before and during the London 2012 Olympic Games.Eurostar developed the campaign to help customers travelling around Europe share experiences and advice while communicating directly with the brand. The campaign integrated real time comments and opinions about Eurostar, its services and destinations into the XTP creative. This included varying degrees of live executions, including a timetable countdown and ‘on board’ updates.Eurostar Live was truly interactive, displaying around 4,000 unique posts per day from the Eurostar Facebook and Twitter profiles. An image uploaded online could be re-purposed immediately to run on Underground screens, and comments from bloggers using #Eurostarlive were live on screen within minutes.A digital clock counted down until the next train arrived at its destination and an ‘on board’ live report from the train provided details such as its speed, distance travelled, and pictures.Users could also share ‘hidden gems’ and recommend places for others to visit and a daily picture competition asked visitors to guess a secret location from one of the cities. Another competition judged the best user-generated pictures.

- #95 A new report from Juniper Research has found that the NFC retail payments market will exceed $180 billion globally by 2017, more than a seven-fold increase over 2012. The leading regions of North America, Western Europe and Far East & China will contribute 90% of this market value as smartphones with NFC payment technology become standard. Technology & Ecosystem DevelopmentsThe report found that 2011 was a watershed year for NFC payments. Major technology infrastructure standards were finalised, many mobile network operators committed to the market and NFC payment pilots from both mobile operators and financial institutions transitioned to commercial service. Above all, NFC-enabled smartphone models were announced by almost all handset manufacturers and Google ignited the market by launching its wallet in the US.NFC enabled devices allows the user to open an app, go to a website to view content, download vouchers, make a purchase, register facebook likes or check in at a location, simply by holding an NFC-enabled mobile to a poster site or payment point. Your phone effectively replaces your wallet so if you see something you like on a poster you can click and buy it there and then.
- #96 To understand the potential of NFC, a piece of research from Posterscope and Clear Channel reveals the applications, content and environments that consumers claim to be most valuable and relevant for NFC enabled poster interactions. It also looks at brand and advertiser product categories for which NFC-OOH experiences would be most appealing and current levels of consumer awareness and understanding. A video demonstrating the future potential formed part of the research project. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORkuWJcJpXoOther recent reports produced by Posterscope include ‘NFC News and Views’, Social Media, ‘Smartphones Social and Screen’s, etc, which all look into how OOH integrates with mobile, social and technologies.The convergent world presents an enormous range of opportunities for brands to derive even more value from the OOH medium. The Guide to Convergent OOH, located on slideshare, outlines some of the opportunities available and associated case studies.
- #97 The Posterscope View: How OOH will evolve in 2013We always like to share our perspective on how the world of OOH is evolving out there, changing our thinking and opening up new opportunities for our advertisers, so we have looked at some of the key themes which we think will play out in the OOH ecosystem over the year ahead.

- #112 THE INEVITABLE UNION OF MOBILE AND OUTDOORThe impact of digital and social media on advertising has never been greater.Digital has touched every aspect of business and personal lives, including news, media, social and of course those advertising dollars, but it is the new explosion of mobile meeting with outdoor that might just be the most significant yet. 2012 saw the year of mobile, 2013 could be the year when mobile integrated with Outdoor to supply the advertising world with a superior marketing proposition.Interactivity is at the heart of such explosions but it isn’t new. The advent of Bluetooth saw the birth of outdoor advertising’s digital interactivity where, for the first time, poster could originate content on to a mobile device. Unfortunately for Out Of Home it never really turned into the diamond that some hoped it would be; it deemed to be intrusive and unusable. However, during this period, the industry has been concentrating on one off structures and digital screens, but apart from a nicer looking display, nothing has really changed… or has it?The industry is excited about NFC, but the real buzz should be about using triggers in posters prompting consumers to engage in searches for further information about a brand or a product via their phone. Whether it is through NFC, QR, WiFi, Facebook or Twitter it doesn’t really matter. What matters is that outdoor is activating contact on a mobile phone. It will be the connection that will allow the marriage of mobile and outdoor. Advertisers can now influence consumer behaviour whilst on the go like never before. The caveat here is that advertisers need to ensure they do not abuse the new found value exchange. When content has no value it becomes intrusive and irrelevant. Posters are only genuinely conscious when the content is creatively brilliant, relevant, personalised or engaging. Get this right and there is an opportunity to extend the relationship with the customer past the poster into the world of social and beyond.Take the single billboard bookings, or ‘one site wonders’ as they are affectionately known that have hit the headlines this year. Job hopeful Adam Pacitti spent his last £500 on a billboard, advertising for employment. The poster caused such a stir across social and mainstream media that he recently took another billboard advert to celebrate a new job. Inspired by this, The Sun journalist Lee Price recently put up 3 billboards to invite people to interact with him in online and real life; but this can’t happen for a brand, right? Wrong. Unilever’s ‘Even Angels Will Fall’ augmented reality campaign with Lynx with only 2 sites proved this by generating 1 million hits online.In a digital age, Out Of Home is quickly becoming established as the natural gateway to drive interaction through social media that is providing the power to change consumer behaviour and has brought a more granular level of measurability.The inevitable union of outdoor and mobile means we can now evaluate not just the impact of outdoor advertising but track the action it has prompted consumers to take, thus the year when outdoor met mobile.
