Outdoor media provider oOh!media’s roll-out of large format digital billboards across Australia continues this week, with the addition of three massive, full-motion screens inside key, high-end mega retail shopping centres.
The roll-out is part of the company’s Evoke Network of billboard-sized screens located across Australia in the heart of key retail centres teeming with affluent and aspirational shoppers.
CEO of oOh! Brendon Cook said the new digital signs at Highpoint, Melbourne Central and Indooroopilly will take the company’s digital inventory to more than 2,000 signs across its Road, Retail, Fly and Place Based operating divisions.
“oOh!’s digital footprint is the largest reaching digital Out Of Home network in the country and provides advertisers with a solution to gain deep engagement with their consumers through linking the physical with mobile, online and social channels,” Cook said.
“Our digital retail offering, including our Evoke Network, is set to double this year as it is really taking off due to the dramatic impact it has with the screens really dominating in the high dwell time environment.
“We’re investing millions this year to create even greater impact by carefully selecting opportunities in Australia’s premier shopping centres. Our retail property partners are serious too, investing $8 billion over the long term to enhance their centres.
“Using the Evoke Network, advertisers can broadcast high definition video and full motion messages to over 6.7 million shoppers every 14 days, and can easily tailor messaging according to the time of day, date, news, events or weather.”
All of oOh!’s digital assets, including the Evoke Network, are underpinned by the company’s proprietary content management system – ARGYLE – that enables advertisers to build stronger engagement with Australians through more creative and innovative campaign solutions.
“The roll-out of the Evoke Network means we are well on track with digitisation of our inventory and will be in a position to deliver 30% of revenues from digital inventory by the end of this year,” Cook added.
Coverage of the Evoke Network now includes 12 screens in the following top Australian centres: Melbourne: Chadstone, Highpoint, Melbourne Central; Sydney: Chatswood Chase; Macquarie Centre Queensland: Indooroopilly; Myer Centre Brisbane and with other roll-outs planned for further centres.
