Creating ‘big brand love' with the right activation partner
Activations have a great track record when it comes to boosting the bottom line - which may be why marketers love them. In April this year, the ANA Brand Activation Conference in Chicago showed that the industry spent nearly three times on activations compared to what it spent on traditional advertising, with spend likely to reach anything from $600bn to $1 trillion. That's nearly 8% of the GDP in the US!* 29 Sep 2017 Read more

OOH flies high in airports as passenger numbers increase
Air travel is booming. The number of trips taken by plane somewhere in the world could increase to around 13 billion by 2030 and demand for air travel has doubled every 15 years this century, according to Global Construction Review magazine. The global industry is expected to grow by an average of 4.7% a year, which means a huge increase in passenger numbers. All this suggests that airports are changing in a way that works in the marketer's favour - who wouldn't want to reach a burgeoning market of largely affluent business and leisure travellers, some of whom are the SADC region's key decision-makers? 14 Aug 2017 Read more

The critical role of out-of-home in the marketing mix
With almost two-thirds of all consumer purchases made within half an hour of being exposed to Out-of-Home (OOH) advertising, it's time to revisit the critical role the medium plays in the broader marketing mix. Roadside Outdoor Audience Data (ROAD) now provides rich data on the consumption and impact of billboards, and integrated with other media stats allows brands to further craft effective, integrated campaigns. OOH should play a key role in this space, argues Howard Lonstein, Marketing Manager for Outdoor Network. 11 Aug 2017 Read more

Creative is the key to effective OOH
Often the most strikingly visible part of our environment, advertising can enliven a city and add something vital to one's early-morning commute. While not every ad can light up an urban precinct like the immersive displays Samsung used in New York's Times Square to debut its S8 and S8+, or thrill onlookers like Toyota's 100-foot-tall billboard for its RAV4 Hybrid, creative excellence remains a must in the industry. It's curious, however, that best business practice is so often adopted by South African creatives - why do we not adopt internationally recognised design principles, given that we follow textbook guidelines for radio, print and TV? The tried-and-tested formulae of OOH, the world's oldest broadcast media, are just not widely adopted and applied. 26 Jul 2017 Read more
