    Posterscope launches ROOH – Digital OOH Ad Exchange

    MUMBAI: Posterscope India, the out-of-home specialist from Dentsu Aegis Network, has announced the launch of ROOH (Real Time Out Of Home), a unique planning-buying platform (including programmatic) for digital OOH inventories.

    Based on the extensive use of APIs (application programming interface), Posterscope’s ROOH uses a wide variety of data feeds to create customised and targeted advertising. The tool aims to help Posterscope to further strengthen and bolster its real-time capabilities in India as billings from digital OOH are estimated to grow at a rate of 60 per cent by the end of 2019.

    With the launch of ROOH, Posterscope India has collated and brought together more than 60,000 digital screens on a single platform. This tool not only uses analytics around the screen when consumers frequenting the location but also exploits Dentsu Aegis Network’s research, insights and planning tool – CCS (Consumer Connections Study Planner) along with Dan Explore (a tool that examines consumer passion points) to arrive at the right screen mix for the brand to help optimise the plan.

    Posterscope Group South Asia group MD Haresh Nayak said, "The ability to deliver dynamic content in real time, driven by highly relevant data and optimised to audience type and audience mindset, represents an enormous leap in the power of the OOH medium. I am certain that it will attract new advertisers to the medium, particularly those that need highly flexible and agile brand communication."

    ROOH senior vice president Deepak Kumar said, “Over the last two years, we have worked across 2500 towns, dealing with over 50 key media owners, to develop this tool. This has helped us in understanding and curating ROOH. The flexibility of ROOH will enable some interesting campaigns and will make OOH truly a dynamic medium. The Posterscope Group predicts that the year 2020 will be a defining year for real time out of home.”

    During the test phase, Posterscope India activated programmatic triggers, specific to time and location, with multiple creatives on a limited number of screens to observe market reaction. “In turn, the agency observed exponential increase in client queries to understand the medium so that it could help them execute their campaigns more effectively. Currently, BFSI, mobile, e commerce and automobile categories are at the forefront of usage of this tool,” a press statement shares.

    Only accessed by its planning team now, Posterscope will soon extend ROOH’s access to its clients and partners. ROOH will provide insights and data to them – right from the brief stage juxtaposed against consumer analytics that will help then detect and decipher the apt triggers for their campaign. Human intervention, then, will be limited and utilised only if necessary.

  • Posterscope partners Cheil India for Samsung’s Gear S2

    Posterscope partners Cheil India for Samsung’s Gear S2

    MUMBAI: Samsung’s media agency Cheil along with Dentsu Aegis Network’s out of home agency Posterscope have successfully executed a high impact and high visibility innovation to celebrate the launch of Samsung Gear S2.

    As part of the partnership, the key task for Posterscope was to highlight the core features of Samsung Gear S2 by disrupting the OOH landscape. The target audience was SEC A1, A2, A3 male within the 25-44 age bracket, people who are early adopters of technology, lead an active lifestyle and always ready to stay connected. Cheil India developed the concept and creative.

    Posterscope Group India, Posterscope Asia Pacific regional director and MD Haresh Nayak said, “I am extremely honoured to be associated with this campaign. The world is currently standing in the midst of massive technological advancements and our consumers in India are not just aware but also exposed to these evolutions while sitting at home. Therefore, the campaign that we executed had to be such that it could stand up to a world-class quality. And I am glad that we have stood tall and delivered so well.”

    While the objective entailed the highlighting of the dynamic features of the watch, it could not be met a vanilla 2D approach towards OOH. Thus, Posterscope recommended the use of LEDs to create an innovative display that would do justice to the objective and serve the required impact.

    Adding a layer of efficacy to this innovative campaign was a well thought-out media plan that was designed by Posterscope. Based on their deep understanding of the target consumer, which was derived from their primary research (OCS), patented analytical tools (PRISM) and accumulated understanding, Posterscope zeroed down on specific locations in Mumbai, Bangalore and Delhi NCR to conduct the project. Trade points were the focus in Mumbai while it were the IT parks in Bangalore. Innovation was done at DND toll road, which is a major entry point in the city from Noida.

  • Posterscope partners Project Everyone to deliver digital OOH campaign

    Posterscope partners Project Everyone to deliver digital OOH campaign

    MUMBAI: Posterscope will be participating in Project Everyone – the brainchild of filmmaker and Comic Relief founder Richard Curtis, with an aim to share the UN sustainable development goals with seven billion people over seven days using powerful imagery and copy across an extensive range of platforms.

     

    Project Everyone founder Richard Curtis said, “The best chance of the UN’s global goals being met is if everyone is aware of them, and that’s where Project Everyone comes in, along with the support of its many partners. I have been overwhelmed by the response of brands, consumers and institutions alike to this initiative. Posterscope has been instrumental with getting out of home media owners on board to help us get our messages across, to really raise public awareness of the issue at hand. With their help, we have secured sites in the busiest areas of key cities around the world to visualise the global goals and what Project Everyone stands for.”

     

    Posterscope is joining forces with their media partners across the globe to supply advertising space to display the adverts, which have been designed by Curtis and raise awareness of the initiative. 

     

    They have engaged with 125 partners to date for the ad to be shown in 450 cities, around 28 different countries, in busy central locations with high footfall including CST station in India, Piccadilly Circus in London, Swanston Street in Melbourne, Bukit Bintang in Kuala Lumpur and Times Square in New York.

  • IDBI Federal launches OOH campaign to promote Childsurance

    IDBI Federal launches OOH campaign to promote Childsurance

    MUMBAI: IDBI Federal Life Insurance has launched its humorous, yet hard-hitting, outdoor campaign to promote its child plans’ category – Childsurance. The outdoor campaign, which will span across 105 cities and towns, adds a bit of fun element to drive home a point.

     

    Explaining the objective of this campaign, IDBI Federal Life Insurance chief strategy and marketing officer Aneesh Khanna said, “The angry baby photos attract your attention and lead you to an important message – children will not look this cute when they are 18 if their dreams are not fulfilled for lack of financial planning. With the cost of education ballooning year after year, it is important that young parents systematically plan for the future needs of their little ones.”

     

    “The best part about this campaign is that while it gives young parents a gentle nudge, it does that by bringing a smile on their faces. Our insurance solutions for children effectively address most of the concerns related to securing their future. We think it’s a clutter breaking idea and takes a complete departure from regular advertising featuring babies,” Khanna added.

     

    Ogilvy & Mather, Mumbai senior creative directors Amitabh Agnihotri and Sameer Sojwal have designed the campaign.

     

    Agnihotri said, “There couldn’t be a more arresting idea than using babies to grab the attention of young parents. The category of insurance is inundated with emotional appeals, advertising that literally pleas for better financial planning. We were clear that we had to stay away from the clutter and create something absolutely fresh. The most fun part of the campaign was shooting with the babies and getting their cute-angry expressions.”

     

    Sojwal added, “Financial planning for a child’s future is probably the most important message to convey to young parents; dealing with the wrath of a child’s failed future can be a daunting experience. This is the reality of life, but humorously put through the Childsurance campaign.”

     

    Social Street executed the campaign in 105 cities, with more than 900 billboards pan India in Phase I.

     

    Social Street founding partner and chairman, Pratap Bose said, “The Childsurance campaign from IDBI Federal is indeed an intriguing one, as the cute angry babies immediately draw your attention. Large scale formats in the OOH space, enables the imagery of the visual to be disproportionately large, so as to draw attention and drive home the point that your child’s insurance is certainly not something that you can take for granted.’’

  • Posterscope launches measurement tool Ambit Analyser

    Posterscope launches measurement tool Ambit Analyser

    MUMBAI: In a bid to attract well-thought-through investments into the growing out-of-home (OOH) category of ambient media, Ambient OOH has designed and launched a new path breaking research tool to drive away advertisers’ woes. Ambient OOH, the ambient media agency under Dentsu Aegis Network’s Posterscope umbrella, has invested a substantial amount towards the crafting and development of this new research matrix.

     

    Ambient media is all about capturing captive audiences who spend considerable amount of their leisure time at various active locations such as gyms, coffee shops, multiplexes, clubs, salons and shopping malls. Therefore, in a bid to develop the new tool, Ambient OOH took the help of Dentsu Aegis Network’s proprietary research study – the Outdoor Consumer Survey (OCS) that aided in analysing the target audience touch-points. 

     

    Ambit Analyser will help craft a rationalised multi touch-point plan across more than 24 dwell time locations that house captive audiences. Also, given Ambit Analyser’s system design, the plans can be fashioned within much lesser time and with more accuracy.

     

    As part of the development process of Ambit Analyser, Ambient OOH graded each property across the various touch points on multiple factors including footfalls, trade density, ticket pricing and thus, arrived at a visibility index. The tool has been linked to the OCS, which has a sample size of 12,000+ respondents. It has also incorporated the data for 24 touch-points across metros, mini metros and tier II cities.

      

    Dentsu Aegis Network chairman & CEO South Asia, Posterscope and psLive – Asia Pacific chairman Ashish Bhasin said, “Posterscope’s Ambient OOH has done pioneering work in developing Ambient Analyser. Ambient media is becoming extremely important and has very little research and tools available. So, in keeping with Dentsu Aegis Network’s leadership status in OOH, we felt that the time was right to make this large investment in a proprietary tool, the only one of its kind in India.”

     

    Posterscope Asia Pacific regional director and Posterscope Group managing director Haresh Nayak added, “Ambient OOH is the future and, with the growth of digital and technology in this space, it will lead to accountable and engaging communication with the consumer in a relaxed mind frame. Ambit Analyser is one such initiative to give our clients a first of its kind, accountable and impactful campaign, leading to physical and digital engagement.”

     

    Ambient OOH vice president Deepak Kumar said, “Currently, ambient media in India is extremely fragmented and diverse in nature. And with no comparative data to fall back on, each media owner claims to be the best. Simultaneously, advertisers are constantly pressing on media effectiveness and efficient ROI. Hence, there was a need for transparency and accountability for advertisers to have trust on the ambient media touch-points.”

These were installed at key areas where the target group frequently visited such as major market areas and bus shelters at the major nodal points of the city.

     

    MOMS COO Dipankar Sanyal said, “At MOMS, we look at solving our clients’ business needs using innovative, disruptive outdoor strategy and execution to create high level engagement for consumers.”

     

    The recent Mondelez Oreo campaign in Mumbai last month was also executed by MOMS.
