We’ve heard a lot about ears over the years. Cannes describes the event: “The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity is a global event for those working in creative communication, advertising and related fields. It is considered the largest gathering in the advertising and creative communications industry. “Clear Channel is a sponsor of Outdoor Lion. CEO of Out of Home Advertising Association of America (OAAA). Anna Bager The event will be hosting a ‘Dinner Club Night’ along with 3 panels. Inspirational to know “OAAA is putting OOH on the map at the biggest creativity event”. That seems like a daunting task.
We look forward to hearing from you about this return event and looking forward to sharing it with you.

3. The right ad, the right timing – breaking news … programmatically
OOH today’s reception
Kudos to Kinetic with Breaking Story Promotion across the UK. We’re not sure if this is something new in the industry because American OOH companies have been showing breaking news stories with local radio and TV stations on digital out of the home for at least the last 14 years. And these stories appear within minutes of breaking news where the press release we received stated that “campaigns are going to be live within 8 hours of the news”. That’s not so fast. The key issue is the programmatic activation of the campaign which is a step-by-step but 8-hour shift? This needs to change significantly, namely in minutes. We look forward to hearing more and if and when others can make that program happen faster. The right ad, the right place, probably. The right time (ing), I don’t think so.

5. OOH Best Creative Last Week Today

Bumble, the online dating app, has returned to OOH with black and yellow schemes. And that’s smart. It works! It is no accident that the black copy on yellow is the number one color combination read. Note that McDonald’s Creative is primarily a combination of yellow and red, hmm … just like their full corporate color schemes.
If we want to hand out an award for ‘last week’s’ creativity, and we haven’t yet, it will go to Lamar and their Anchor Harvey (Aluminum Forging Company) campaigners. 3 Dimensional Execution. Simple unexpected. We’d probably run ‘Tear Off’ all the way to the catwalk and already ‘pull off’ a couple. But we know what.
