Snack brand Pringles has launched a nationwide Digital Out-Of-Home (DOOH) campaign to encourage participation in its Easter on-pack promotion, “Take a Bite and Win a Flight”.

Players are being invited to snap and share a picture of themselves enjoying their favourite Pringles on social media for the chance to win a trip to a European destination every hour throughout every day of the month-long promotion.  The DOOH campaign has been designed to amplify the social media campaign and will harness the real-time capabilities of the medium by featuring the social photos of each hourly winner in real-time on panels close to point of purchase.

The campaign runs until 16th April on six-sheet digital panels outside key Tesco and Asda stores nationwide.

OOH campaign planning is by location marketing specialist Posterscope and Carat, with creative produced by promotional marketing agency ZEAL.

Emily Dutton, Assistant Brand Manager, UK & I Pringles, says: ”Easter is a time for friends and family to get together and celebrate, and Pringles plays a big part in this sharing occasion.  Our ‘Take a Bite and Win a Flight’ adds another sharing opportunity into the holiday, and with our winners celebrated on advertising panels close to purchase points, we want to encourage shoppers to grab a tube and get involved.”

Lee Mabey, Agency Strategy Director at Posterscope, adds: ”Research has shown that people are more likely to enter a competition if they feel that they have a real chance of winning.  Our ability to feature real-time, user-generated content from our competition winners on panels right next to purchase points, taps directly into this and will help to drive interest and desire for this fantastic Pringles promotional.”

Posterscope is the world’s leading out-of-home and location marketing specialist with billings in excess of $3 billion and over 1,000 staff in 57 offices in 34 countries worldwide.

The Pringles brand is now owned by Kellogg’s, which bought it for $2.7 billion in May 2012 from Procter & Gamble. It is one of the world’s most popular snacks,

Oreo, the world’s biggest-selling biscuit brand, has launched an innovative Out-Of-Home (OOH) campaign across London to drive purchase and participation in its 2018 Great Oreo Cookie Quest promotion.

The core of the OOH campaign is a specially built, interactive digital poster within a fully wrapped bus shelter on London’s busy New Oxford Street. It offers passers-by the opportunity to find hidden cookies in a version of The Great Oreo Cookie Quest game and win a free pack of Oreos, dispensed directly from the poster site.

The new OOH campaign runs for two weeks across 245 panels and 10 Transvision screens in rail stations across London, featuring a variety of creative executions directing people to the New Oxford Street game and encouraging purchase in-store.

The OOH game comes complete with its own bespoke mobile interactive game with location-based targeting around the dispenser to lead users to the OOH site and encourage participation in the quest.

OOH campaign planning is by location marketing specialist Posterscope and Carat with creative produced by Liveposter and is part of a wider advertising campaign that includes TV, online and in-store activity and displays.

“We’re kicking off this year in style with a wonder filled activation that offers a great brand experience for consumers,” said Katie Dade, senior brand manager for Oreo. “As well as raising mass awareness of The Great Oreo Cookie Quest promotion, this OOH campaign, featuring the interactive game and prize dispenser, brings the game alive through an additional fun and experiential element.”

Thomas Mason, planning and buying director at Posterscope, added: ”It makes sense for The Great Oreo Cookie Quest campaign to incorporate an OOH element, not just to help drive people in-store to purchase but also to encourage them to join in The Great Oreo Cookie Quest as they go about their daily journeys across London.  The increasing digitisation of out-of-home means that we can devise ever more innovative and fun elements into OOH campaigns, in this case a great interactive game and Oreo cookie dispenser.”

The Great Oreo Cookie Quest, which launched in the UK in mid-January and which runs until 31st May 2018, is effectively two promotions.

One, an instant win on-pack promotion, offers customers the opportunity to win the grand prize of a once-in-a-lifetime trip to California for four people, with a visit to the Googleplex and spending money. Other instant win prizes include 780 Bluetooth compatible speaker – (up to 39 will be awarded each week) worth £13 and 1,320 Oreo Earphones (up to 66 will be awarded each week) with a value of £3.

Consumers have to buy a promotional pack (unless they live in Northern Ireland, where there is a No Purchase Necessary route to conform to local gambling laws). If they are using a computer, they then go to the promotional website, www.oreoquest.com; if they are using a mobile device, then they can download the “Oreo Quest” app from the Google Play Store or the App Store and tap on the “Enter CODE” button which will take them to the promotional site.

They are then asked for their details and have to upload a scan of the logo from the pack or of an Oreo, plus their pack code.

The second promotion involves using the Oreo Quest app to find hidden Oreo Cookies and dave them to a ‘Cookiedex’. These cookies can be found by solving daily clues, identifying the object involved and then scanning it using the app, or by scanning random objects. Daily clues will involve riddles such as “What puts hands on your wrist?” if users then scan a watch, an Oreo will be revealed on their phone screen.

There are 30,000 £5 Google Play vouchers to be won by collecting cookies and scoring points, and one grand prize of a Samsung Galaxy J7.

The hidden cookies are worth different points depending on their colour – one point for chocolate, three points for silver and five points for gold. A maximum of 390 cookies can be stored in the ‘Cookiedex’ and the Galaxy J7 will go to the user who collects the biggest point total. The £5 vouchers can be won by players who are among the first to reach particular scores. Players can also earn Oreo wallpaper and stickers to use in their messaging apps.

The Great Oreo Cookie Quest app plays on Oreo’s partnership with Google, which began in August 2016, and which is why the prizes are Google Play vouchers and an Android phone (the Samsung). It has elements similar to that of the hugely popular Augmented Reality game “Pokemon Go,” where users search for virtual Pokemon in their surroundings and catch them storing them in a Pokedex on their phones.

The Great Oreo Cookie Quest app was created by US ad agency The Martin Agency, in partnership with Carat and US AR developer Gravity Jack. It launched on iOS and Android at the end of January in the U.K. and will roll out across Europe, Russia, Latin America and possibly the U.S.

Mondelēz International is a global snacking company with 2016 net revenues of approximately $26 billion. Mondelēz is a world leader in biscuits, chocolate, gum, candy and powdered beverages, with power brands including Oreo and belVita biscuits; Cadbury Dairy Milk and Milka chocolate; and Trident gum.

Tesco is combining store data with DOOH.com’s RUSH delivery platform to deliver festive product offers and individual store opening hours to digital Out of Home screens in close proximity to stores across the UK in a campaign using the slogan “However you do your Christmas, everyone’s welcome.”

Ads will display a variety of offers and will change throughout the day, before switching to a localised store message in the evening. The retailer says the aim is to respond to the needs of its customers with “true convenience messaging”.

Nick Ashley, Tesco’s Head of Media and Campaign Planning, says: “The ongoing digitisation of the OOH landscape is a welcome development for us. It enables us to serve our shoppers in a way that is even more relevant and helpful to them – especially in the final few days before Christmas.”

Elodie Rodriguez, senior account manager at Kinetic, which booked the media, adds: “This campaign is a fantastic demonstration of intelligent data usage in OOH to create hyper-relevant and contextual creative to assist shoppers in the run up to Christmas. By delivering real-time content to consumers via RUSH technology, we’re delighted to be reinforcing Tesco’s long-standing motto of helping shoppers”.

Jeremy Taylor, head of strategy at DOOH.com, comments: “The festive period can be a frantic time for consumers, making it increasingly important for ad content to be relevant as well as engaging. By being smarter with digital OOH, Tesco can deliver hyper-localised information direct to customers on a national scale.”

Media was planned and booked by MediaCom and Kinetic respectively across the UK, with BBH designing thousands of creative variations to run in the lead up to Christmas day. The delivery was managed using DOOH.com’s RUSH platform, working in conjunction with Tesco’s API to deliver bespoke content for each local store.

Samsung has been supporting the launch of the Galaxy Note8 with experiential and Out-of-Home take-overs of key locations in some of the world’s busiest cities, including London’s Waterloo Station.

At the end of September, Waterloo Station was decked out in eye-catching images of the device encouraging commuters to “Do bigger things.” Waterloo is the busiest rail station in London with a footfall of 4,196,748 every two weeks, and contains the largest indoor advertising screen in Europe in the form of JCDecaux’s 40 x 3 metre Motion@Waterloo.

Commuters and other visitors to Waterloo were given the chance to have their image displayed on the station’s digital screens or have it emailed to them to share on social. They could also enter a competition to win the new tablet device.

Cities including Berlin, Rome, Paris, Singapore, Milan and New York have been the backdrops for a global campaign which communicates the creative possibilities powered by Samsung’s latest flagship smartphone through immersive Galaxy Note8 signage.

The campaign follows a similar one held in New York City’s Times Square on September 15^th. The iconic entertainment centre and tourist destination , which sees an estimated 380,000 visitors every day, was illuminated with S Pen-embellished portraits, animated illustrations and whimsical images of the Galaxy Note8 across 43 screens.

A new American Airlines campaign to drive awareness of its product and network offering from London has become the first of its kind to utilise geofencing technology with a moving object – in this case, a London black taxicab.

Building on a successful campaign last year where outdoor sites were geofenced, media specialists MediaCom has now taken this one step further by presenting consumers with highly-targeted digital ads from ‘wrapped’ taxis as they pass them on the street.

The innovative campaign, which kicked off this week and is due to run until the start of November, aims to connect the latest in digital technologies in GPS and Wi-Fi to the outdoor advertising environment, says MediaCom.

MediaCom has bought select advertising space around London, including OOH advertising on office digital panels, Canary Wharf shopping centre and a domination at Canary Wharf, together with online advertising.

The media agency has also worked with taxi advertising company Ubiquitous to upgrade the on-board taxi technology, partnering with location tech business Mobsta to build the API connections that connect the two together.

Brady Byrnes, Director of Global Marketing at American Airlines, said: “American Airlines is all about innovation. Our flights from London give travellers the most connected experience, with on-board Wi-Fi being at the very heart of this offering.”

Catherine Pronzato, Managing Partner at MediaCom UK, added: “We are always looking at how new technology can help our clients innovate in delivering their business needs. We’re excited to partner with American Airlines to launch this ground breaking technical solution.”

“Tapping into taxi location data to determine proximity to the target audience is an innovation that will deliver valuable additional brand touchpoints,” says Daemon Brown, Commercial Director at Ubiquitous.

The new application could allow brands to push promotional messaging to consumers on the move. A number of brands have already been experimenting with the delivery of mobile coupons offering money off products to drive consumers in store to buy.

GLACÉAU smartwater is running a geo-targeted ‘hyper-local’ Digital Out-Of-Home (DOOH) campaign which shares tips from celebrities, fashion experts and other influencers with Londoners who are within 500 metres of a beacon-equipped poster site.

Launched at the start of September 2016 and running for the entire month in affluent Chelsea and trendy Hoxton, the outdoor ad units will alert nearby users with information like the tastiest brunch in Chelsea or the trendiest pedicure in Hoxton. The Coca-Cola-owned enhanced water brand says it “aims to distil the very best bits of London into ‘on-the-go’ recommendations for busy urbanites.”

The ads will alert consumers within 500 metres to check out top tips from London based influencers, including blogger Reem Kanj and stylist Roxie Nafousi. Smartphone users with a range of partner apps installed will receive a push notification encouraging them to click and discover top recommendations in the area.

The creative follows the GLACÉAU smartwater summer outdoor marketing campaign, which aimed to bring a sense of simplicity to the complex through placing smart and witty outdoor adverts across London.

Bryony Lester, Senior Brand Manager at GLACÉAU smartwater, commented: “We’re using advanced technology to distil insiders’ knowledge about their favourite areas of London. Through working with new innovations, we have created a simple way for busy city dwellers to receive interesting content that they can enjoy in their local area.”

The beacon technology has been implemented by Kinetic Worldwide, global leaders in contextually activating audiences on the move, in partnership with Tamoco, Proxama and JCDecaux.

Kinetic’s Director of Innovation, Rosh Singh, added: “The use of beacons in the London: Distilled campaign is not only groundbreaking, but also exactly what brands should be aspiring to do – hyperlocal media, serving useful content in innovative ways. The perfect use of ‘push’ messaging and beacons.”

GLACÉAU Smartwater is the first bottled water brand in the UK to use a unique method of vapour distillation, using British spring water in its evaporation, condensation, and precipitation process. A combination of electrolytes is then added resulting in a distinctive taste.
