The campaign flighted across Primedia Outdoor’s urban digital network in the roadside environment. The urban digital network consists of 12 LED screens all located on main arterials in the central hubs of Joburg, Pretoria, Cape Town and East London. The network, skewed towards targeting the upper SEM market, reaches a unique monthly audience of 1,711,044 and delivers 24,449,586 impacts (ROAD 16/17/18). The latest Google Mobility reports from May 2021 as well as Primedia Outdoor’s Prime(I) devices indicate that traffic volume levels in the roadside environment are back at 100% pre-Covid levels, across all major metro regions in South Africa.
In tandem with the roadside campaign, Samsung also flighted material across 11 key shopping malls in Johannesburg, Pretoria and Cape Town with an average combined monthly foot count of 8,656,015 (SACSC). Foot count reports gathered by Primedia Outdoor portray 83% pre-Covid levels (Primedia Outdoor Foot Count Report March 2021), signalling a strong return of shoppers to the mall environment. The campaign used a combination of both static and digital display for increased brand exposure and impact along the shoppers’ journey.
Shopping malls provide a conducive environment for brand messaging to be seen by a captive audience who are in a purchasing state of mind. Malls encourage consumers to spend and advertising in this environment almost always guarantees that brands will make it to that final, desirable destination: the shopping basket.
“We are delighted to have partnered with an iconic brand like Samsung to showcase the effectiveness of a multi-format OOH campaign for the launch of a product,” said Peter Lindstrom, sales executive at Primedia Outdoor. Advertising in both the roadside and mall environment connects with consumers at key touch points along their shopping journey – which is critical when launching new products into the market,” he added.
