Economic Review Q3 2014
Source: Office for National Statistics
UK GDP up 3.0% in Q3 2014 compared to previous year
The UK’s economy has grown 0.7% in Q3 compared to Q2 this year, according to the Office for National
Statistics (ONS), whilst UK GDP was 3.0% higher in the third quarter compared with a year earlier.
This is the seventh successive quarter of output growth and the longest sustained run of quarterly
growth since the onset of the economic downturn in 2008.
Revised ONS figures also show the UK economy surpassed its pre-recession peak in the third quarter of
2013 which previously was thought to have been achieved in the second quarter of 2014. The ONS now
estimates that GDP was 2.7% higher than its pre-crisis peak by the end of the second quarter this year.
Growth in the third quarter of the year was boosted by a 0.7% rise in output from the services industry.
The contribution from construction was revised up sharply to show 0.8% growth compared with a
previous estimate of zero growth.
Latest figures from the Bank of England forecast that the UK’s economy will grow by 3.5% in 2014,
but predict a slower growth of 2.9% in 2015. This is due to stagnation in the Eurozone which remains a
concern and slowing growth in China. Interest rates are also likely to remain at historic lows of 0.5% until
after the election in May next year and inflation may fall below 1%.
Globally, the International monetary fund (IMF) predicts growth of 3.3% this year and 3.8% in 2015.
Europe is still experiencing a “multispeed recovery”, with the UK’s growth being amongst the highest.
The IMF has also sharply upgraded its outlook for the US this year, by 0.5% to 2.2%, saying the
weakness at the beginning of the year was due to “mostly temporary” factors.

Advertising Review
OOH’s growth continues, up 1.7% YTD (Q1-Q3 2014)
& features heavily in Cannes awards entries
With regards to OOH, there has been a solid performance YTD (Q1-Q3) in 2014 with a 1.7% increase.
OOH expenditure of £258.5m (Q2) and £257.6m (Q3) represents the fourth and fifth largest revenue
quarters ever reported for OOH in the UK. Digital revenue YTD 2014 of £188.3m, is up 26% YoY and
also accounted for 26% of the total.
Looking at category spend within OOH, growth for Food, Travel & Transport and Media have all been
particularly strong. Advertising spend within the property sector achieved by far the largest category
growth YoY, mirroring the housing market boom experienced over the last year.
OOH categories with strong yoy growth in 2014 Q1-Q3 vs 2013 Q1-Q3
Aside from advertising revenue, another way of demonstrating the continued strength of OOH is by
analysing awards entries. In the 2014 Cannes Awards, OOH featured in 9 in 10 (92%) of the shortlisted
entries. This was second only to social media and is an increase from 75% in 2013. This is further proof
that OOH is an essential part of effective and industry recognised campaigns.

IPA Bellwether Q3 2014

Marketing budgets were revised up for the eighth
consecutive quarter
According to the results, budgets reached their third highest level in the survey’s history and a net
balance of 12.6% of companies registered an increase in budgets during the quarter.
A net balance of 38.6% of companies said they had grown more optimistic about financial prospects
compared with 3 months ago and confidence in the wider financial industry remained high.
As the Q3 survey marks the mid-point of the 2014/15 financial year, the results suggest that full-year
marketing budgets are due to be higher than initially estimated with marketing executives at their most
upbeat for seven years. Over a quarter (26%) of companies also recorded uplift in marketing budgets,
relative to the 2013/14 accounting period.
Paul Bainsfair, IPA director general, commented: “Two years of continuous investment in marketing
budgets, coupled with sustained confidence, has enabled the industry to innovate and diversify, and
crucially to drive business growth. It is good to see companies adapting to the complex media landscape
and capitalising on the positive economic climate.”
Adspend growth of 7% is predicted in 2014 with data showing an increasingly positive UK business
climate as companies invest more in brand building and expanding sales. However, this growth will likely
cause higher interest rates resulting in the Bellwether to predict lower adspend growth of 3.8% in 2015.
Internet advertising budgets make the sharpest upward revisions, up 14.5%, with main media advertising
following at 9.2%. Main media advertising was the joint-third highest in Bellwether history.
Of marketing budgets reaching their third highest level since the survey began in 2000, Chris Williamson,
chief economist at Markit, and author of the Bellwether report, said: “This represents a remarkably
positive picture of companies gaining confidence about the economic outlook as the year has proceeded,
ploughing more money into budgets that had already been set higher at the start of the year. At this rate,
2014 is panning out to be the best year for growth of marketing spend in the survey’s 15-year history.”

Applying Behavioural Economics to Planning OOH
Understanding human behaviour is vital to the marketing & communication industry as knowing how
and why consumers make decisions allows us to effectively persuade them to purchase. However
our understanding of the human decision-making process initially assumes a very logical and explicit
process. This usually takes a linear approach to decision making with the assumption that messages
are consciously processed and always logical. Behavioural Economics aims to counter this approach by
applying psychology to explain economic decision making.
The following article details the key principles of Behavioural Economics which emerged from research
and development commissioned by the IPA and Posterscope’s view on how they can potentially be
applied from an OOH media perspective. This is increasingly relevant as the OOH industry moves
towards real time and immersive brand experiences become more prevalent.
1. Chunking
Chunking refers to the principle of breaking things down into manageable, easy parts. People respond
more positively to a task or situation that is presented in easy-to-understand steps. Presenting a task in
one big block can cause confusion and have adverse effects. In addition to this, Chunking can also
mean bringing different parts together into more intuitive chunks.
Examples of Chunking in everyday life include health services that use it to decrease the attrition rates
of people taking medication, especially antibiotics. Days and weeks are set out on the packet breaking a
28 day treatment into 4 easy weeks. Similarly, compliance is higher when completing complicated forms,
such as pension forms, if people know where they are and feel each section is achievable. As a result
all online forms should have a save option and clear navigation to show how far through the process an
applicant is.
Chunking has also been successfully applied to encourage people to use public transport. Instead of
telling people that they should stop using their car altogether, the alternative approach encouraged
consumers to take the bus for only 1 day a week. This resulted in 230,000 incremental bus journeys,
an uplift of 6%. (Source: Greener Journeys, IPA Behavioural Economics: Let’s Get Practical)
The principle of chunking can be applied to how
different environments in OOH are planned.
The OOH space is vast and varied, and at
Posterscope our OCS research identifies how
consumers’ behaviour and mindset vary in different
OOH environments.
Even within an environment e.g. an airport,
consumers’ mindset varies greatly in the different
locations and chunking into departures, arrivals
etc. helps plan more effectively ensuring the right
messaging at precisely the right time.

2. The Power of Now
The Power of Now is about our desire for instant gratification; responsive digital interaction, dispensing
coupons and the smiley face you receive from the screen on the side of the road for driving under the
speed limit (for example) all provide an instant reward or response for an action carried out.
Behavioural Economics shows consumers engage more with immediate outcomes than they do with
delayed outcomes. This has been used to explain why some people find it difficult to lose weight and
stick with a diet. The perceived benefit you receive from eating right now far outweighs the delayed
long-term benefits of weight loss. It also explains why many products, with long term benefits at their
heart, are better promoted when some immediate component is added.
3. Scarcity Value
Scarcity Value is about perception of supply. People react to scarcity and are more willing to act if
they know that chance won’t be around for long. This theory is frequently applied in marketing when
communicating sales promotions. Terminology such as ‘Special Edition’, ‘Limited Edition’ and
‘This Weekend Only’ are all used to create a sense of scarcity for the consumer.
The effect is also seen in relation to the percentage of savings gained by someone. For example, people
will put in more effort travelling to take advantage of a £100 item for £50 offer as it represents a 50%
discount, opposed to a £200 item for £150 item, representing a 25% discount only, even though the
actual saving of £50 is the same.
OOH offers advertisers a great
opportunity to instantly reward people.
Experiential events, for example,
provide many different ways of giving
consumers instant gratification for
participating in or watching the event.
Or, for example, poster sites which have
the ability to issue vouchers via dispensing
6 sheets or NFC/QR technology.
The ability to update content using digital OOH
screens in real time presents an ideal opportunity to
realise the scarcity value to full effect. For example,
seeing live updates of the most popular items and
how quickly they are selling, on a digital screen, will
encourage people to engage and react.
Similarly, a countdown clock can be used to inform
how long is left to buy a ticket for the EuroMillions
rollover in a store close to the screen’s location.
This ability, along with the growing importance of
m-commerce, means DOOH is in a prime position
to influence sales.

POSTERSCOPE MEDIA DIGEST - 2014 9
4. Goal Dilution
The folk wisdom of being a jack of all trades and the master of none aptly epitomises the principle of
Goal Dilution. When multiple goals are pursued they are less effectively achieved than when they are
pursued individually. Consumers also tend to have a preference for clear singular expertise compared to
unclear multiple skills. A single-minded proposition is much more effective when assessing options and
making decisions than when multiple proposals are presented.
This principle can be seen in technology where people tend to still prefer products that focus on one thing
and do it very well. A great example of this is the success of apps on mobile devices versus browsers.
Apps focus on one thing and this specialism makes them feel far more effective. The same is true when
pairing technology such as TV/DVD players, there is a perception those two products combined cannot
have as high a quality as the stand-alone products.
5. Loss Aversion
Loss Aversion is described as our tendency to ascribe a disproportionally higher value to an item owned
compared to one being offered, even with reference to what they have originally paid for it. As consumers
we tend to focus more on what we will lose than what we will gain.
Loss aversion can also been seen with reference to payment in time as people see a product as more
valuable once they have invested their time into it. Examples of this include software and service trials
such as Spotify and Netflix and weekend test drives with car manufacturers.
The principle of Goal Dilution can be
applied to the effective creation of OOH
creative. In some OOH environments
dwell time is short, so the creative needs
to be simple and communicate the
single-minded proposition clearly.
If advertisers have multiple messages
then it is advised to use more than one
creative to promote each message
separately. Consistency between the
different executions helps build overall
brand awareness.
There are many potential applications to implement
Loss Aversion principles when planning OOH
campaigns. OOH can engage consumers by
displaying their user-generated content on digital
screens for the world to see, making them feel like
they have ownership of it.
Experiential events can also create a more personal
sense of engagement and feeling of brand
ownership. These activities can lead to increased
brand equity amongst those engaged individuals.

POSTERSCOPE MEDIA DIGEST - 2014 10
6. Price Perception
The price of something does not necessarily represent its value. In theory, price should be a consequence
of the value people attach to it. We should be willing to pay what we think something is worth. In practice,
this causality runs backwards. The price that is demanded for something makes us value it.
Take for example pain relief, people are prepared to pay more for a branded product than a cheaper one
believing that it is more effective in relieving pain despite the products having exactly the same chemical
properties.
The increase in price, along with branding, also creates a type of placebo effect. This mental construct of
the brand results in perceived physiological differences and more value.
OOH is well positioned to take advantage of
this by helping brands to increase ‘premium’
brand perceptions.
This is achieved by advertising in locations
which consumers perceive demand a
high cost premium. For example, of all the
OOH environments, airports and premium
digital screens are seen by consumers
as commanding the highest prices, and
this high perceived value of the inventory
influences the perceived premium positioning
of the brands using it to advertise.
7. Choice Architecture
Nick Charter, a member of the IPA Behavioural Economics Think Tank and Professor of Behavioural
Science at Warwick Business school, has said “We have no absolute idea how much we value any object,
service or experience, even with excellent information. All we have is comparison between similar things”.
Choice Architecture is a phrase coined by Thaler & Sunstein in Nudge, and relates to the claim that
choices can be designed to make certain outcomes more (or less) likely. For example, they talk about
how making fruit more prominent in canteens increases consumption by making it more available than
less-healthy substitutes.
We are aware that it is hard to make a decision in absolute terms and our decisions are almost always
influenced by comparisons available to us as mentioned above. Research in the industry has also shown
that even for big, expensive purchases, people do not like to put in a lot of effort and prefer companies
that offer a simple process to aid decision-making.
Choice Architecture can also be applied to OOH.
OOH can help to make decision-making as
simple as possible for consumers, through
meeting their needs at the right place with
prompts to purchase in proximity to store.
Furthermore, DOOH allows us to push
messaging at the right time as well as in the right
place, for example, promoting breakfast products
during the morning, or the suggestion of a great
place to eat nearby for lunch, or similarly the
perfect drink for when the temperature climbs.

POSTERSCOPE MEDIA DIGEST - 2014 11
8. Social Proof
Although not one of the stipulated principles in the IPA’s Behavioural Economics, Social Proof also plays
a role in understanding and influencing human behaviour.
Social proof is a term used to describe how our decisions can be influenced by those around us. Items
that are deemed popular by others tend to enjoy a ‘snowball effect’ in popularity.
User five star ratings are a great example of this as consumers use them as a valid measure of quality.
Not surprisingly, the preference for a product or brand is stronger if the 5 star ratings were created by
people in your social group or people with similar interests and beliefs as you.
OOH advertising benefits massively from ‘Social Proof’.
The fact that it is located and viewed in a social space in itself
generates confidence and trust in the messages and brands
that use it.
OOH is also viewed by similar people in a similar mindset for
example, people travelling to a sporting event or commuters
on the way to work.
DOOH is in a prime position to take advantage of Social
Proof to influence decisions. DOOH allows dynamic, real time
updates to be incorporated within the creative messaging
allowing advertisers to display consumer comments and/or
ratings or images relating to their products or campaigns.
Conclusion
In summary, the above are examples of broad areas of enquiry from Behavioural Economics,
the wisdom of which should be applied by brands, and every planning discipline. And, as demonstrated,
OOH is particularly well positioned to deliver the principles of Behavioural Economics.

Mobile Insights
Research for Lenovo proves the value of optimising
OOH campaigns using mData
Throughout the last year, Posterscope, through its partnership with EE, has been utilising mData to
combine mobile behaviour with traditional OOH planning inputs to the benefit of many Posterscope
clients. Each mobile dataset used provided unique location based insights on different behavioural
segments.
For Lenovo, the increased influence that mobile plays in online shopping was recognised. Particularly
smartphones’ role in the path to purchase for technology items through online research, price
comparisons and product reviews, often when out of home. Lenovo’s OOH strategy, as a result, involved
the optimisation of poster sites - isolating those not only in close proximity to stores, but also those within
virtual geographic ‘tech’ hotspots where we knew the target audience were actively viewing technology
reviews, and shopping for technology products on their mobiles.
In order to measure the efficacy of utilising this additional layer of geographical data, campaign research
was commissioned using a robust sample of 1,500 respondents. Test and control research measured
whether those who had been exposed to the OOH campaign were more likely to be aware of, consider
and purchase Lenovo products. A sub-category of respondents who lived in the pre-determined mData
hotspots were subsequently analysed to measure the effect of using mData to optimise campaigns.
The results demonstrated that the test group, (those living in the OOH regions), saw increases in
awareness, brand perceptions, consideration and actions taken. But most profound was the fact that this
OOH effect was tripled in the EE mData hotspots when looking at these key metrics. The data showed:
• Unprompted awareness increased by 200%
• Purchase consideration increased by 200%
• Online searches increased by 150%
Chris Gobby, Head of mData at EE, said: “At EE we strive to help businesses make better decisions from
big data with the results speaking for themselves in our work with Posterscope. We’re excited to be a
part of this, and future, groundbreaking applications of EE mobile data in out of home advertising and
look forward to generating further unique products with Posterscope in the outdoor advertising space.”

Crimson Hexagon provides Posterscope with the ability to analyse and understand all social media
conversations, delivering insight and intelligence around Twitter, news articles and Facebook.
A recent addition to Crimson Hexagon’s modules is day of week and time of day analysis.
This module aggregates Twitter volume by day of week and hour of day to show periodic volume trends.
By selecting the “Use Author’s Local Time”, the tweets will be aggregated based on UK Time.
The value of this for OOH predominantly lies in DOOH. By understanding peaks in product or category
interests across a day, DOOH adverts can be prioritised within these chosen moments. Equally, the
Liveposter CMS platform can be used to alter the creative messaging across the day in relation to
changing moods and mindsets. This contextual advertising is more relevant to the consumer and in
turn creates efficiencies in planning.
Time of Day Analysis (Indexed Volume of Tweets in past 30 days)
The chart opposite demonstrates the data tends
to support planning intuitions such as “coffee”
being talked about in the morning and pubs/bars
in the evening. But it also identifies interesting
nuances such as breakfast having 2 distinct
peaks. The obvious being the morning but there
is also a clear evening peak as consumers plan
for their morning meal the next day.
The chart opposite demonstrates how
conversation levels vary considerably on specific
days of the week. Wednesday is particularly high
for Cinema potentially due to the success of
“Orange Wednesdays” whilst betting peaks at
weekends in line with all the sporting fixtures.

The IPA launched TouchPoints 5 in Q2 2014, 2 years since the previous study. It shows there have been
staggering changes in media over the last 2 years, particularly around smartphone and tablet usage.
Posterscope has analysed this new data to identify how OOH, in particular DOOH, can complement
usage of other screen media.
Media Coverage by Day of Week amongst 16-34 year olds
When looking at overall reach for 16-34 year olds across the average week, OOH (100%) generated
the highest coverage closely followed by Commercial TV (94%). Internet usage for this audience
across both laptop/desktop (85%) and mobile phones (78%) is also extremely high whilst VOD (50%)
and Tablet Internet usage (35%) still generated large numbers.
Analysis by day of week demonstrated that OOH coverage was remarkably consistent with the sole
exception of Sundays, as was TV with a slight increase at weekends. VOD and Internet activity on tablets and
smartphones was also constant throughout the week, but the most noticeable difference is the reduced
internet activity on laptops/desktops at the weekend when most 16-34 year olds are not working.

Internet use on smartphones complements OOH - Both generate high levels of
coverage early morning and then occur continuously throughout the day
A strong relationship exists between OOH and 16-34 year olds online activity across smartphones.
Of those who spent time OOH on an average weekday, 50% have done so by 9am (cumulative reach
on chart). Similarly of those using the internet on their smartphones, 50% have done this by 10.30am.
From a brands’ perspective, this means that advertising on these channels has the opportunity to
generate high coverage early within the day, giving consumers more time and chance to act on it.
It is also noticeable that OOH exposure and smartphone internet usage continues to occur throughout
the day meaning that at any time a consumer views an OOH advert they have the opportunity to respond
to it by going online on their smartphone. OOH also peaks from 5-6pm during the evening commute
which coincides with the peak of online smartphone during this commute and also in the evening.
Online activity on laptops/desktops peaks directly after OOH commuter periods
Laptop/desktop online activity closely complements OOH exposure as demonstrated in the chart below.
OOH exposure peaks during the morning commute and directly after this desktop/laptop internet usage,
presumably at work, occurs. Such internet activity continues at a high level, with a slight lunchtime lull,
until the evening commute begins at 4pm then it drops considerably. As the evening commute recedes
then laptop/desktop usage, presumably at home, peaks again in the evening.
As seen in the chart above, consumers therefore have the option to respond to OOH advertising immediately
by going online on their smartphones, or can access it on a larger screen if preferred both at work during
the day or at home in the evening.

POSTERSCOPE MEDIA DIGEST - 2014 16
Online activity on tablets peaks in the evening and as a screen media, has more in
common with TV and VOD than smartphones
The most interesting insight from the latest IPA touchpoints survey is 16-34 year olds tablet usage.
Tablet use is often described synonymously with smartphone usage, being combined and described
together as “Mobile”. However, the pattern of tablet internet usage appears far more similar to what we
see with Commercial TV and VOD than to smartphones. There is minimal preference for any day of the
week, but a clear peak during the evening.
In fact, as the chart below demonstrates, almost half (40%) of 16-34 year olds do not go online on their
tablets on an average weekday until after 4.30pm. Therefore OOH advertising in the evening commute is
perfectly placed to reach these consumers just before their tablet usage starts in the evening.
The chart below demonstrates just how similar the time of day for internet usage on tablets is to that of
viewing both commercial TV and VOD. All three screen media only reach the 50% level of consumers
well into the afternoon (Commercial TV 4pm, VOD 6pm and Online Tablet 2pm) and viewing/online
usage all peak between 8pm - 9.30pm. Dual screening will clearly be occurring during these timeframes.

OOH’s convergent role in influencing e-commerce, m-commerce and in store sales
Earlier this year, IBM also released an interesting report ‘UK Online Retail Christmas Shopping Trends 2013.’
This report analysed device usage and demonstrated how online retail traffic and sales data support the
findings above during the Christmas period. Online retail sales tended to peak on weekdays, especially
Mondays, when consumers are using their desktops/laptops to make purchases. Conversely, Saturdays
saw the lowest online sales. Mobile traffic and sales bucked this trend peaking on Saturdays. This is where
consumers are predominately out of home purchasing in physical stores, often using their smartphones to
search for local information, researching, and comparing products, in turn influencing their in-store choices.
‘Mobile First’ is a strategy a lot of businesses are starting to take more seriously. Remarkably, half of Dixons
retail web traffic now comes from smartphones or tablets. With m-commerce sales expected to be worth
£12bn and mobile influenced store sales to be worth £41bn by 2017 (Source: Deloitte), having a robust
understanding of smartphone and tablet use while out of home is fundamental to future retail growth.
A recent Google survey on consumers’ local
search behaviour across devices supports the
TouchPoints analysis above. It also found that
when consumers carry out local searches for
products and services, computer/tablet use is
heavily skewed to home and work use.
This compares to smartphones which
are used far more when on the go in multiple
OOH environments, including in store.

JCDecaux launched Waterloo Motion in 2014 and have run several campaigns combining Experiential
within the station and the DOOH screen. Two such campaigns were for Center Parcs and Lurpak.
Both campaigns used the screen to deliver content either directly broadcast from the Experiential activity
or linking to wider messages of the campaign.
This activity was researched using a combination of face to face interviews as well as mobile diaries.
The research demonstrated that across key metrics such as brand knowledge, recommendation,
consideration and advertising perceptions, all metrics significantly increased when consumers were
exposed to both the experiential activity and DOOH screen.

JCDecaux Airport devised a creative research project to identify which mediums transfer premium perceptions
onto brands. four fictitious brands were created across four product categories (alcohol, fragrance, hotel,
technology), two of which were products available to purchase at airports (fragrance and alcohol).
In total eight media environments were compared. A nationally representative sample of 500 adults per
environment was interviewed and asked what their perceived value of the specific product advertised
using a six point scale.

Airport advertising transfers prestigious and high
value perceptions onto brands

POSTERSCOPE MEDIA DIGEST - 2014 20
The results truly demonstrated the long held belief that the medium in which a brand is viewed can
significantly enhance consumers’ perceptions towards it and this is illustrated using the results of two of the
brands above. The research proved that irrespective of the product or service category, when advertising is
viewed in the Airport environment the brand will be perceived as being of higher value. Airport media conveys
a cosmopolitan feel and international status onto brands giving them this prestigious appeal.
Interestingly amongst key target audiences such as Londoners in the hotel example above, all the included
OOH environments as well as airports tended to transfer higher values onto brands. Buses and obviously the
Underground are key London OOH mediums, so it is not surprising these mediums performed significantly
better amongst London respondents. Surprisingly from the results was the lower value assigned to brands
when viewed on TV. TV is without doubt an extremely effective medium and features highly when consumers
are asked to recall advertising. However, we hypothesise that the best explanation is the mass market nature
of TV which may not necessarily lend itself to brands being considered as prestigious or exclusive which is a
key determining factor of a higher brand price.

Research demonstrates how DOOH is a must
have media for brands
Recent research amongst 100 CEOs/CMOs interviewed by Censuswide in July 2014 demonstrated
that TV and digital OOH are considered the top two ‘must have media’ in London for driving brand fame.
This is a very positive story for DOOH which is now top of mind amongst senior brand leaders largely
through delivering premium and innovative campaigns made possible by significant media owner
investment. Considering DOOH’s staggering growth from £100 million in 2010 to £214 million in
2013 (OMC), this ‘must have media’ position shouldn’t really come as a surprise. DOOH also shows no
sign of slowing with 26% growth 2014 YTD (Q1-Q3) compared to the same period in 2013.
Amongst the 100 CEOs/CMOs interviewed, visibility and impact (76%) were perceived as the greatest
benefits of DOOH. 57% also stated the ability to reach a large audience and target both existing
and new customers has a major benefit and demonstrates how DOOH is clearly now thought of as a
broadcast reach medium. 65% of the CEOs/CMOs interviewed also stated the ability to target specific
audiences at different times of day was a key advantage of DOOH. Posterscope’s own consumer
survey, OCS, which interviews almost 6,800 respondents, demonstrates that consumers agree with
this. Almost 50% of Londoners state they are more likely to remember brands that use relevant digital
OOH messaging.
But, as an industry, we must not forget that the success of DOOH has been built on the foundation of
traditional OOH, and standard billboards were actually rated as the next “must have” channel behind
DOOH and TV by CEOs/CMOs. Traditional OOH has long been regarded and proven as the top
medium alongside TV at generating brand fame and effects. The IPA recently released learnings from
their substantial databank demonstrating that TV and OOH are the two mediums that generate the
highest brand effects uplift. Consumers themselves also rate TV and OOH as the two most noticeable
mediums, which is again supported by OCS data.
Similarly, a few years ago the OMC’s analysis of Millward Brown brand typologies demonstrated that
brands who invest more than average into OOH formed the Classics, Olympians or Little Tigers in their
respective categories. Such brands also scored higher than average against a range of personality
metrics associated with fame such as being ‘Trustworthy’, ‘In control’, ‘Wise’ and ‘Desirable’.
What we find most encouraging is that both advertisers and consumers are aligned in their opinions
that OOH and in particular DOOH is the right place for brands to be. For more information please
