he world in which we live is being transformed by technology, which in turn is changing how people behave, especially when they are out of the home. One unifying theme is that of
convergence. You can now access the internet through your TV, watch TV on your phone, video content can be found on all manner of screens and, of course, the number and variety of devices that enable web access out-of-home is growing enormously.
Meanwhile the definitions of media, content and technology are increasingly blurring.
This convergent world presents an enormous range of opportunities for brands to derive even more value from the Out-of-Home medium.
This guide outlines some of these opportunities and associated case studies. It attempts some segmentation but of course the nature of convergence means that areas constantly overlap and blur. It is also not intended to be exhaustive and you can keep up to date with the latest developments at PioneeringOOH.com

ne of the most important changes to the OOH media landscape in recent times has been the introduction of video-based content to the medium. This led many people to treat
these new formats as outdoor TV which in most cases is entirely inappropriate. Having said this there are many digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) formats that can be planned alongside other video based media as long as distinct audience measurement techniques, price benchmarking, consumer insight, spot length/frequency optimisation and creative optimisation are taken into account. Posterscope is
the only OOH agency with a comprehensive proprietary planning system (Prism Screen) that tackles many of these areas and makes the planning of DOOH and cross platform video activity quick and accountable.
The nature of OOH video content can also be particularly broad. For example, projection technology is completely redefining what constitutes a video screen.
O

The proliferation of OOH screens allows brands to extract greater value from the production of video-based content, furthermore brands benefit from reaching light TV viewers
who tend to be heavy consumers of OOH. Planning DOOH alongside TV, Video-on-Demand and the like might involve some creative adaptation but this is generally cost effective and OOH agencies can help with this.
This is more about reach and targeting rather than innovation and is often overlooked by cross-media planners. In many countries the audience is huge. A comprehensive campaign
delivers 150m impressions (UK), 800m (USA) and 540m (China) over a month.

VideoRe-defining the Video Screen
The rise of projection technology, often combined with specialist content adaptation techniques or sensors is allowing almost any surface to become a video screen.
Numerous campaigns have utilised ‘projection mapping’ but the vast majority of consumers will never have experienced them in real life. Earned media is key to driving value unless
locations have enormous or highly relevant audiences. This technique is still very much in vogue but will no doubt be surpassed by one of the other jaw-dropping technologies that are on the market or in development.

he ability to influence the actions that people take on PCs, laptops, mobiles and other connected devices such as tablets, e-readers, media players, portable gaming consoles and
internet enabled TVs is of course a core requirement for any media these days.
The case studies throughout this section demonstrate the power of OOH media in this whole area. And the growth in the relative importance of mobile is making OOH an even more crucial part of the communications mix.
This section is not just about mobile and portable devices. Influencing actions taken on fixed devices at home or work is still important. In fact 50% of full time workers in the UK access the internet at work every day with OOH being the most prolific offline medium encountered beforehand.

There are numerous ways of using OOH to influence behaviour within social media. Approaches include using the very public nature of OOH as a reward for online participation, creating real world experiences that people want to share, using location-based check-ins, or creating online experiences whereby people can directly affect events in the real-world.

‘Non-venue’ locations such as poster sites can be created as check-in points on social networks, such as Foursquare. Facebook requires activity to be more centrally linked to the
overall philosophy of sharing. This does not exclude Facebook from such campaigns but the mechanic needs to be more than just issuing a consumer reward for check-in
While there is still uncertainty regarding long term consumer adoption of the check-in mechanic this is partially due to consumer awareness and the appeal of the reward. This can
be overcome by using OOH media to explain and motivate.

he proliferation of smartphones is of course making it much easier for users to access digital content especially with tools such as Google’s home screen search bar and apps from
YouTube, Facebook, etc.
The previous section highlighted the importance of OOH media to remind and motivate people to seek out content but OOH can also act as a more tangible gateway to content. This can either shorten the process by taking people straight to the advertised item or destination, or it makes the whole experience more fun and interesting.
There are numerous ways of achieving this. We have outlined a few examples in this section.

Gateways to Mobile ContentIntroduction
47
Quick Response Codes are not unique to OOH and are found on all manner of print material and even the occasional TV or digital screen ad. They enable mobile users who have a
suitable app installed (and understand how to use it) to hyperlink to any form of content hosted online.
Whilst QR codes are unlikely to have a long-term future (outside of Japan where usage is mainstream) due to more advanced technologies such as NFC (Near Field
Communication) they are appearing on more and more ads outside of Japan where usage is mainstream. Common mistakes when adding QR codes to campaigns include lack of consumer instructions, poorly optimised mobile content or user journey and limited or non-existent tracking. Different codes should at least be assigned to different media or formats. Availability of mobile signal should also be considered. Postercope can provide tracking, production, and advice across all of these areas.

This allows virtual hidden content to be overlaid onto posters when viewed through a camera phone and mobile AR app
There are numerous providers of mobile AR apps which vary in quality, speed and handset compatibility. In addition there are often chains of technology re-sellers. Brands have the choice
of integrating AR into their existing app, creating a new branded app (usually by re-skinning an existing AR app) or promoting an existing third-party app. Regardless of the route, serious consideration should be given to consumer education and call-to-action. The cost of adding mobile AR to a poster campaign can often be minimal.

Gateways to Mobile ContentRFID
Radio Frequency ID is the technology found inside building security passes, inventory management, product tracking, passports, transit ticket cards and more. Simplistically, it allows individual items or people to be electronically identified. NFC (see next section) is built upon RFID.
In China, Focus Media have deployed RFID-enabled screens that allow consumers to touch one of the ads with their RFID card to trigger the sending of an SMS containing links to more information, discounts, content, etc. The RFID cards are pre-distributed and the user links the card to their mobile.
56
Near Field Communication is a contactless technology that is starting to be integrated into smartphones. It allows users to touch their phone against an NFC tag or reader to instruct
the phone to take an action such as opening a particular web page or app. NFC also allows phones to become mobile wallets, as well as allowing users to touch their NFC-enabled phones against each other to share content. NFC tags can easily be affixed to almost any accessible poster site.
NFC is highly scalable with most handset manufacturers releasing NFC-enabled phones in the near future. Nokia, Samsung, Google and others already have some handsets on
the market and there is speculation as to whether Apple will join the collective commitment to NFC. For OOH, NFC allows simple, quick, highly scalable, affordable interaction between mobiles and poster sites. There are some challenges to adoption, in particular regarding ownership of the payment component with the banks, mobile operators and players such as Google all competing, but overall we expect NFC to become the dominant technology for mobile and OOH interaction.

Nokia and Taiwan Taxi have partnered to allow people to book a taxi by touching NFC-enabled mobile phones against NFC poster sites. The poster is used to determine the person’s location and an SMS confirmation is sent by the taxi operator. The service is to be rolled out to 15,000 sites.
Players of Angry Birds Magic on a Nokia C7 handset have to find NFC tags or other NFC handsets to unlock new levels by touching their phone against them. This approach of unlocking gaming content through NFC posters gives brands another option when wanting to reward consumers through advertising.

ith the exception of China where many content updates are carried out physically the vast majority of digital OOH screens are internet connected which allows content to be
changed quickly and cost effectively.
Screens can therefore be used on a much more reactive and tactical basis and content can be redistributed from other digital sources. This enables integration with other bought, owned and earned digital media, new data sources as well as all kinds of interactive and content sharing options.
Added flexibility also gives the potential for agencies to optimise activity in real-time based on outcomes such as sales, search etc. Optimisation might be assessed in terms of creative, location, time, day and more.
Exact technical capabilities do vary enormously by media owner and network. Some of the opportunities in this section are available as ‘off-the-shelf’ options, others may require modifications to media owner systems and some opportunities might only be possible on certain locations or networks.

hilst content and location are of primary importance in attracting audiences to participate in digital OOH experiences, the nature of the technology that is used
can also be a huge determinant in uptake levels. The use of new technologies in OOH situations often precedes mainstream consumer product applications. For example, touch screens in bus shelters and self-service kiosks preceded those in mobile phones, and gesture-based gaming campaigns were deployed well before Microsoft Kinect. In fact, Microsoft licensed part of the Kinect technology from a business involved in OOH advertising.
An innovative or larger than life interface in the public domain can seem particularly cutting edge, engaging and fun, especially when experienced in groups which can of course drive earned media both digitally and face-to-face.
Many examples of engaging interfaces have been included in earlier sections, in particular those with social media or mobile integration. The following pages highlight some other particularly successful applications and potential developments for the future.

New planning data
91
As the web becomes increasingly hyper-local and businesses and consumers create more and more location-based data there are huge opportunities to utilise this data to inform and optimise the planning of both traditional and interactive OOH media and to measure effectiveness. Electronic public transport tickets, sat-nav’s, loyalty cards, mobile search, mobile wallets, and numerous
websites and mobile apps are just some examples of how technology is being used to create location-specific data trails, all of which have the potential to help determine which OOH sites, dayparts and creative treatments might be most effective for a particular campaign.
Posterscope, in partnership with Locately, has recently pioneered the use of GPS tracking of mobile phones together with sophisticated analytics to understand how behaviours changed as a result of exposure to particular poster campaigns.
