Great outdoor... with a cherry on top!
If you travelled through Connolly Station during cycle 10 you could
not have failed to notice the significant advertising and promotional
material publicising Vodafone’s new Cherry Points loyalty reward
scheme.
Connolly Station was adorned with hanging banners, wrapped
ticket barriers, floor graphics, decorated glass and even a giant
cherry. Although Connolly Station was the hub of the out of home
push, there was also extensive activity on other formats such as
6 Sheets, transport internals and a Luas column special complete
with rotating cherry on top!
"As Vodafone Cherry Points is so unique in the market we wanted
to reflect this in our creative and media approach. We wanted to
do something really different, impactful and fun and are delighted
with how the campaign has turned out. We worked with an
Irish illustrator on the creative and have had lots of fun trying to
visualise to our customers what Cherry Points is all about and
all the possibilities the program brings. It was great to be given
the opportunity to run a media first with the revolving cherry on
the luas column in Stephen’s Green and it’s proven to be a very
engaging and central part of the campaign."

Kraft first to run digital touch screen advertising
A bus shelter on Charlotte Way/Harcourt Street is generating more than the
usual level of interest. Five Philadelphia ‘Philly Heroes’ recipes can be selected
and viewed while interactive software enables passers-by to select and view
ingredients with an option to email on all the details.
Another shelter on Leeson Street comprises a special large scale model of a
Philadelphia tub on the roof and a contravision wrap.
The campaign was the result of a collaborative approach between Eclipse Media,
Clear Channel, DDFH&B, PHD and PML.

near identical sales in the weeks leading up to the campaign.
Results: Sales of the Nescafe 200g jar and free travel mug in stores that had the
POPAd were 37% higher than in stores without the POPAd.

The Balmoral Show recently advertised their ever popular Agricultural and Food

Heartbeat of the City
Street Presence: John West on Dublin Bus T-Side and, below, 98FM Super Rear
Suzanne Webb,
Account Director,
Bravo Outdoor,
talks to Engage
about
bus
advertising
in
Dublin
City.
Bus - The Heartbeat of the City beats
Strong
Tha-dump. Tha-dump. Tha-dump.
Here’s a simple way to view how
your Bus Advertising works. The Bus
network is like the ‘heart’ of the city
- strongest at its core but pulsing
out to reach every part of the city
through strong arterial routes and
smaller veins.
terminus. Of that time, it spends on
average approx. 25 minutes inside
the canal cordon. So if you buy 100
buses, at any given time, 38% of
them are going to be in the central
part of the city. As we all know, this
is where the greatest concentration
of people and businesses are - the
commercial and social nucleus of the
city. With geographical and planning
restrictions, your roadside buy isn’t
going to deliver this level of focus on
the heart of the city.
Tha-dump. Tha-dump.
t
All of which is great, because wider
coverage is definitely a good thing.
But what isn’t apparent from JNOR
is where and when those people are
being reached. With its bias towards
the city centre, bus delivers people
while they are trading, shopping and
socialising. You want to reach them
while they are in that mode.
All of which is really great, because
wider coverage in the right
environment is most definitely a
good thing.
Of course, Bus also gets out to the
suburban villages, the shopping
centres, the schools, the playing
grounds and all of those important
places. It’s just that it really delivers
in the most important place the
heart of the city.
In Dublin, this heart is beating
stronger than ever. In a world of
declining revenues, Bus ad sales
are actually up year on year. This is
perhaps explained by a focus on the
core by advertisers as opposed to
the peripheral.
Because make no mistake, Bus is the
dominant format for the centre of the
city. Think of it like this. The average
bus journey takes 65 minutes from
its city centre start to its suburban
of bus distribution compared to
roadside. Because a bus ad goes
out on many different routes over
a cycle, it reaches a wider audience
than a static panel (whose audience
is mostly made up of people within
its catchment area seeing it multiple
times).
JNOR tells us that, on a same spend
basis, T-Sides deliver the widest
coverage of any outdoor format.
This is so because of the nature
If you don’t believe me, just take a trip
into town. And have a look around.
