Talk Details:
Talk 1 : Next Generation OOH by Grainne Dilleen Communications Director, Kinetic
Out of Home (OOH), one of the oldest media, has been revolutionised in recent years with the advent of new technologies and Digital OOH. The market is increasingly becoming a convergence of media types, platforms and technologies. Combining creativity with new technology such as temperature reactive Digital OOH, or Augmented Reality capability can truly amplify a traditional OOH campaign. Grainne will explore some of the recent technologies that have changed the face of Out of Home. She will also outline how Digital OOH networks are being transformed into real-time marketing platforms and will share some recent worldwide campaigns that have memorably combined traditional media with new technologies.
Gráinne is Communications Director with Kinetic Ireland, the Irish arm of the largest Out of Home media agency in the world. She has over twelve years’ experience managing all aspects of the marketing mix with particular strengths in internal & external communications, event management and creative thinking. She has worked with leading agencies and advertisers to deliver stand-out OOH campaigns. Kinetic has won numerous awards with their media partners, most notably an International OBIE for their work on the Heineken Cities campaign which transformed a bus shelter into a tweet dispenser.
Talk 2 : Channel 4 Driving Digital Innovation Using Data and Technology, presented by Heidi Gately, Channel 4
In the world of broadcasting, Channel 4 has pioneered the use of first party data. Direct viewer engagement is at the heart of their entire strategy, and their viewer database has grown to almost 12m. By developing a 1:1 relationship with viewers, they understand their needs, motivations and interests, and are constantly innovating to offer a more personalised experience, both editorially and commercially. Knowing who their viewers are allows them to be more relevant, do lots of ‘cool stuff’ and get brands closer to the right viewers.
Using 1st party data Channel 4 were the first global broadcaster to launch demographic targeting and individual personalisation of broadcast VoD ads for the first time anywhere in the world was a real game-changer. Working with Coke they reached 1.4m 16-24 year olds with an individually named bottle of Coke as part of their ‘Share a Coke’ campaign. Engagement was off the scale with 59% of users claiming to take action as a result. This study plus other examples will form the basis of the Channel 4 Toolkit presentation.
