     FOR WHEN YOU’RE OOH
As part of its ‘Help for What Matters’ proposition, Ulster Bank demonstrated how its smartphone
product features can come in handy for when you are on the go in its latest OOH campaign.

Following on from its First Five Mortgage, the second instalment in its proposition focused on its
current account offerings.

The introduction of the new campaign is another example of Ulster’s Bank focus on customer-
centric innovation with the campaign showcasing facial recognition, smartphone payments
and balance alerts as part of its current account product features.

The bank’s Outdoor campaign featured primarily on Digital formats - Orbscreen, Connolly
Station Gallery, dX Screen, Retail Digital and Digipole along with traditional 6 sheets- Bus Shelters,
Adshel, and Metropanels.

   MAXOL TOPS UP BY TEN
Maxol launched an initiative with charity partner, AWARE, to raise some much needed funds for
the charity which aims to assist people affected by depression.

The family owned forecourt and convenience retailer took to OOH to reach a broad audience
and build awareness of the ‘Top Up by Ten’ initiative.

Maxol encouraged customers to add 10c to their purchase at participating stations in August
which was then donated to AWARE. In addition to this, Maxol also topped up by ten and
donated €10,000 to Aware.

The campaign ran on a series of 6 sheets- Bus Shelters, Adshel and Commuter Points.

As the culmination of the All Ireland GAA Championship drew near, Guinness’s summer Digital
                          Out of Home campaign to support its long-standing sponsorship also reached its conclusion in
                          the build up to the clash between Dublin and Tyrone.

                          The campaign, using PML Group’s Dynamic CMS platform, featured a fixture element that listed
                          each weekend’s football and hurling matches. The Dynamic element displayed the counties,
                          venues, days and times of the fixtures on Digital Screens across Ireland.

                          The campaign incorporated a phased roll out across commuter, roadside and bar environments.
                          The platform works across multiple networks and in the case of Guinness, the media owners
                          involved were Orbscreen, Wide Eye Outdoor (Social D’s), Exterion Media (Commuter dPods)
 CAMPAIGNS                and JCDecaux (Digipole) – all of which display the Dynamic content. The campaign was
                          planned and delivered by the teams in Carat and Source out of home, with creative by BBDO.

                          Orlagh Keane, Senior Account Manager at Source out of home added: As an early adopter of

7UP FREES ITS NEW IDENTITY
            PepsiCo launched a refreshing new take on the 7UP Free brand with the introduction of its
            new look packaging.

            To detail its new visual identity, 7UP Free harnessed OOH’s scale and visual nature to drive
            broad awareness and provide assurance of its same great taste.

            7Up’s multi-format approach placed the campaign in front of audiences across Ireland. The
            campaign featured a range of coverage building formats in the form of 96/48 Sheets, various
            6 Sheets and the 100ft wide Parkgate Street special. Digital and transport formats also formed
            part of the OOH media plan.

As part of its sponsorship of this year’s Electric Picnic, Aussie Shampoo was on Out of Home to
promote its presence at the festival.

Aussie Shampoo was on site with its own tent – the music box- complete with DJ sets, poetry
and juices for a more chilled out vibe and while there festival goers could pick up some
3-minute miracle sachets and put the music back into your hair… exactly what’s needed
after 3 days of revelry!

The cosmetic brand was on Large and Transport formats for the campaign alongside a fully
wrapped Dublin Bus for a mobile brand presence across the city.

 NTA BRING US ON A JOURNEY
The National Transport Authority (NTA), in a joint initiative with the Immigrant Council of Ireland,
ran a powerful OOH campaign in cycles 17 and 18.

The campaign used images of hundreds of commuters to form the image of the woman and
man in the mosaic artwork. Over one thousand selfies were donated to the cause by commuters
standing in solidarity against racism.

Planned by Spark Foundry and PML, the OOH element of the initiative ran on a Backlit 96 Sheet,
Upright 48 Sheet, Metropanels, City Impact and Super Rears.

John O’Flynn, Communications Manager, Transport for Ireland, said, “We are delighted to again
be coordinating this crucially important campaign. Ireland’s increasing diversity is reflected
among transport staff and our commuters and this year it is fantastic to unite in our message to
stand up against racism.”

  IRISH WATER TAPS INTO
  CONSERVATION
Irish Water launched a public advisory campaign in a bid to encourage the public to conserve
water due to the recent heatwave and on-going water shortages.

New research published by Irish Water shows that over 50% of those surveyed under-estimate
their water consumption by half. Therefore, in the campaign, Irish Water detailed that the
average person actually consumes 129 litres of water a day, information that is essential for
people to be aware of if they are to reduce their consumption.

The campaign also encouraged the audience to visit its website for tips and advice on how to
converse water.

OOH plays an important role in such public information campaign as it reaches a broad spectrum
of audiences. The campaign ran on Bus Shelters, Transvision, Digital Retail and Mallbox in cycle
17. The campaign featured on Mallbox for an additional cycle.

AN POST MAIL MOMENTS
To celebrate the Pope’s recent visit to Ireland, An Post issued two new stamps to commemorate
the occasion. Designed by Vermillion Design, €1 stamps carried an image of Pope Francis with
a dove taking flight and the €1.50 international stamps featured a family walking along a
beach. The stamps were available in selected post offices nationwide.

Specially designed First Day Covers, stamp miniature sheets and souvenir sheets were also
available at Dublin’s GPO and online.

To drive awareness of the new commemorative stamps, An Post executed an OOH campaign
which featured on Luas Portrait panels, Metropanels, Metropoles, Bus Shelters and Commuter

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE CREATIVE?

I like this campaign firstly because it goes against traditional expectations of what you expect from
a bank. Over the past few years, we’ve seen financial institutions try to differentiate themselves from
competitors by providing a stronger emotional resonance to their branding. AIB has been omnipresent
in the market this year, so it’s interesting to see Bank of Ireland’s response to its main rival. The creative
links well with the TV campaign and helps reinforce the messaging. It draws viewers back to the core
benefit of a mortgage – securing a home for your family, and all the memories and experiences that
go with that. There is nothing a parent wouldn’t do for their child. As a father of two young children,
I can understand the importance of continuity that the teddy represents. It’s clever and delivers
emotional impact, getting across the campaign’s message that the bank will stay at its customers’
side.

IN YOUR VIEW, WHY DOES THE CAMPAIGN WORK ON OOH?

The creative works because it is simple, translates well to OOH, and stands out from other campaigns.
We are predisposed to notice faces. That draws our initial attention. You then do a double-take,
realising that the brand is a bank. It plays to Outdoor’s strengths – going for impact and avoiding
text heavy copy. It scales particularly well in 48 and golden square formats. The OOH supports the
campaign’s TV ads with frequency and impact. The tagline ‘Wherever You Go’ is well suited to
Outdoor locations and provides opportunities to use this to develop more adventurous OOH layouts
in future iterations of the campaign.

                                Top 5 Out Of Home Advertising Trends                                           Founder of DASH TWO, California

Out of Home is the only traditional media seeing ad spending growth right now, and for good reason.
It remains relevant despite continued development and deployment of new media that have drawn
eyeballs away from newspapers, magazines and linear television.

That has led a lot of advertisers to want to explore this promising format. But what trends in OOH should
they be following to ensure their ads get noticed and gain traction? Here are five things to watch for in
2018 and beyond.

1. Digitisation of all Outdoor inventory

Digital billboards have exploded on the scene — some 1,400 were erected in just the past two years.

But that’s only part of the picture. Digitalization has hit all forms of OOH media. Digital networks are
increasingly common in malls, airports, subways, bus shelters and more, notes Stephen Freitas, chief
marketing officer at the Outdoor Advertising Association of America.

“There is certainly a continued trend toward building out more of that footprint. It’s that broader trend of
 seeing more movement to Digital inventory in all silos, across all segments,” he says.

2. Integration of mobile into Outdoor ads

Mobile phones allow OOH ads to communicate directly with you and deliver more pertinent messages.
For instance, a billboard might allow you to opt-in with a text to receive a Digital coupon or send offers
to customers with a certain type of phone. Great advances have been made in targeting, too, which
means more agencies and vendors will deploy those techniques.

3. Increasing interest from Digital brands

Netflix recently purchased nearly three dozen billboards on Sunset Strip that it will use exclusively to
advertise its own programming. Netflix is on the cutting edge of technology, and it has chosen to invest
heavily in OOH, reflecting the vitality of the medium.

                                                                                                                                    13

4. Employing real-time data and information for targeting

It’s 90 degrees outside, and you’re in your car on the way to the pool — but you forgot to bring sunscreen.
At that moment, you see a billboard advertising sunscreen. It’s almost as if the billboard read your mind
… and that’s not far from the truth.

More and more, billboards sync to weather conditions, time of day and other real-world variables that
make ads resonate with the people who see them.

“When it’s raining, they advertise umbrellas and raincoats. When the pollen count is high, you see
 pharmacy and hay fever meds,” Freitas says. “They have a chance to change the messaging because
 they have that nimbleness with Digital.”

5. Raising the bar on creative

Over the past few years, OOH advertising has really come into its own creatively. We have seen campaigns
so clever that they gain instant buzz and long-term traction — think Spotify’s holiday ads that mined user
data for clever insights into human behavior.

Technology will drive many of the new trends in OOH over the coming years, but don’t underestimate
the importance of good old-fashioned ingenuity. Grabbing attention remains the name of the game, no
matter how you manage it.
