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 as well as
- #4 ‘How’s Out-of-home’ focuses on the broad trends within the Out-of-home industry.
- #5 Q2 figures released by the OMC show that outdoor revenues grew 9.9% YoY in Quarter 2 to £229m (£208m in 2011). Major events such as the Diamond Jubilee and the Euro Championships contributed to that growth, as have the 2012 Games already. Across the year this equates to a 4.4% increase YoY. All major environments (transport, roadside, retail and leisure) were up year on year, as were all the major site types such as 6 sheets, 48 sheets, 96 sheets, buses, and taxis. Revenues in the digital sector continued to grow 27%, as media owners continued to invest, transforming sites in the best locations to digital. Digital now makes up 17% of the total revenue. Top spenders in Q2 were BSkyB, Glaxosmithkline, Coca Cola, Samsung, Universal Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox, Molson Coors, McDonalds, Talktalk, and Unilever. In addition to outdoor’s traditional strength in entertainment brands, categories which grew included telecoms, drinks, food, business and industrial, household appliances, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, online retail, and fashion.For 2011 Revenue for the full year was £886.3m which equates to 1% growth versus full year 2010.
- #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 future for OOH is bright….. With 2012 predicted to show revenue increase of 4% (whilst 2011 experienced a slowdown versus 2010 it still showed a (minimal) increase and the 2012 market is expected to be buoyant.The increase in domestic and overseas visitors and the general spotlight on London 2012 makes this period very attractive to advertisers. OOH advertising will play a pivotal role in the look and feel of the city. Undoubtedly the games will increase demand in the OOH market for this period but to varying degrees depending on which period, which formats and which environmentWith regards to cost per thousands, the market is still trying to find the right balance between demand and supply. There were periods in 2009 that went unsold and this unused capacity is now absorbing the improved demand without increasing prices. The premium end of the market saw more interest in 2010 and 2011 and this is continuing into 2012.
- #19 What's new in TouchPoints4: The e.diaryTouchpoints has detailed the below additions to the e.diary:-- Active purchasing each half hour. We also ask the respondent to tell us how much they have spent if they have bought something. This will allow us 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. Of course we will also be able to understand respondent’s media consumption just prior to actual purchase. -At the end of the half hour e.diary questions we have a screen of emoticons which respondents are asked to click on to reflect their mood state. There are twelve emoticons... In the Self Completion Questionnaire: -We have added more questions on social networking and use of social media. -We have revised the technology section to reflect the ever changing technology market. For the first time we have introduced questions about use of tablets and e books. • In the television section we ask respondents 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 we now ask about radio listening via an app with frequency levels. -For newspapers and magazines we ask 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.
- #20 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.
- #21 Posterscope have just released OCS4Focussing on the McKinsey Journey which demonstrates how the consumer decision making process works and how OCS fits into the processUsing the Insight from OCS in conjunction with other research sources we can see the role that OOH can play at each stage ... Awareness & getting on the consideration list – DemonstratehowOOH drives awareness ... (“OOH being Known & Liked” )Active Evaluation – Consumers gather information to help make decisions – Demonstrate how “OOH is Generating Search”Active Evaluation – Key to reach consumers at right time/place/location – OCS has so much insight on Moods/OOH Channel Selection as well as Insight into how decisions are made both rationally/emotionallyMoment of Purchase – OCS has questions regarding formats noticed when shopping and Media owners often provide EPOS case studiesPost Purchase Experience - Vitally important for brand loyalty, reassuring consumer they have made the right choice etc. There is not a surplus of results available in this area however we do have lots of research from OCS on how OOH can generate earned media as well as lots of other Information.
- #22 It is also possible to track the movement of people.... As an example, the Real Time Rome project used cell phones and GPS devices to collect the movement patterns of people and transportation systems, and their spatial and social usage of streets and neighbourhoods. But how to actuate the city? Although the city already contains several classes of actuators such as traffic lights and remotely updated street signage, a much more flexible actuator would be the city’s own inhabitants.Consequently, wikicity are creating a new platform for storing and exchanging data which is location and time-sensitive, making them accessible to users through mobile devices, web interfaces and physical interface objects. This platform enables people to become distributed intelligent actuators, who pursue their individual interests in cooperation and competition with others, and thus become prime actors themselves in improving the efficiency of urban systems.
- #23 The new Postar measurement was always an ambitious brief, covering all environments and coping with moving and dynamic images. The scope of the project is to have a common approach for all environments and as a rigorous methodology existed for calculating the roadside audience, all new environments to Postar has to rise up to meet these rather than fall to the lowest common denominator.The result is world leading research that has to process 110 million records to spit out an analysis;this has challenged the research companies and delivery system suppliers. There have been some technical hitches, however we are now looking at a planned launch of October 2012.Release 1. Oct2012 : Roadside, London Bus, London UndergroundRelease 2. Dec2012 : Rail, National Bus, Supermarkets, MallsRelease 3. Q1 2013: Airports, Taxis,Release 4 .Q2 2013: LeisureThere will be greater accuracy in the travel survey as GPS meters improve in terms of picking up movement and new research on effects of illumination and movement on visibility are incorporated. The survey will be more granular, reporting on day parts, flexibility of the period measured, and more detailed geography e.g. town measurements and will offer greater accountability in the overall delivery of a campaign providing combined coverage and frequency analysis.This integrated tool is set to change the way OOH is bought and planned in the UK and will have a fundamental impact on understanding audience delivery in OOH.The travel survey uses GPS meters to record actual travel patterns, and the majority of respondents are asked to carry the meter for a minimum of 2 weekends and 5 weekdays as behaviour at weekends is most likely to change.
- #25 ‘Who’s Selling’ briefly talks about the OOH media owners and their plant.
- #26 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.
- #27 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.
- #28 ‘Who’s buying’ provides an overview of who is spending what, where, when and why.

- #32 ‘How's digital’ provides a broad overview of the digital market.
- #33 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%
- #35 Digital still remains the success story in OOH and as new technologies continue to be developed we predict that the market will continue to increase.

- #77 Google voice search campaign won the Media Lions Grand PrixBelow is an extract from the award entry (submitted by MGOMD) for the Google Voice search campaign planned and bought by Posterscope and MGOMD.By taking a key strength of digital – hyper relevant context - and marrying it with the scale and ubiquity of outdoor we did something that had never been done before: a broadcast outdoor campaign where every creative execution was relevant to the poster site that it ran on. We zoomed in on every available individual poster site in London, and using Google maps plotted the interesting institutions in the immediate environs. The resultant database became the creative brief. As such, the precise media context explicitly informed the creative execution. Posters in the Square Mile ran “foot-see wun-hun-dred”. Sites outside stadia carried “ley-tistskohrz”. Sites at Baker Street carried “Shur-lokHoemz” Difficult to pronounce stations carried the phonetic spelling as the copy …in total 150 pieces of bespoke pieces of copy across ten different poster formats, amounting to the most complex outdoor campaign ever in the UK.
- #78 A great example of digital flexibility. Within hours of the award win news breaking, Posterscope had produced an ad and had it showing at Bond Street MGOMD’s local tube station...

When consumers press a button on the poster, a hidden heating element gently warms the potato and releases the mouth-watering aroma of a slow oven-baked jacket potato throughout the bus shelter. The aroma was developed over three months in collaboration with a specialist scent lab to accurately match the warming scent of McCain Ready Baked Jackets. In a media first, the bus shelters will also dispense money off coupons, redeemable across multiple and independent retailers, to make it easier for consumers to trial McCain’s latest product.

- #114 All macro trends but all are prevalent and pertinent to OOHWhether they apply to consumer behaviour or brands or mediaAll prompt us to re-consider the way we plan and the way we position OOH within the broader landscape...
- #115 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.
- #116 Mobile devices are changing the landscape of the Internet. In fact, it’s growing at a rate that is unprecedented.

Known as the “Queen of the Internet”, Meeker is acknowledged as the industry’s leading and most respected analyst. In the report, Meeker predicts smartphone and tablet shipments will surpass PC shipments for the first time in 2011. Additionally, Kleiner Perkins points to a convergence occurring where social, local and mobile come together through mobile devices and mobile apps. In the palm of one’s hand, these magical devices have GPS capabilities to make them local and a plethora of apps to make them social. As new social and location based apps come to the market, this will only fuel greater mobile internet usage
- #117 And the number of people accessing the internet OOH will continue to increase. According to Garter by 2011 85% of new handsets will be able to access the mobile web and by 2012 mobile internet users will exceed desktop users globally (Morgan Stanley 2010).
