McDonalds Runs Hot and Cold
McDonald’s is raising the benchmark on temperature driven retail advertising, by scheduling different product advertising for its Loose Change Menu to run across oOh! Media’s retail digital network whether it’s hot or cold.
The latest campaign for McDonald’s Loose Change Menu will appear on digital screens in shopping centres across Australia for the next month, with advertising for its Frozen Coke and Choc Waffle Cone appearing when the local temperature hits 27 degrees and its Rump Steak Taster when it drops below 21 degrees.
The temperature-parting technology was first used in Australia two years ago to enable contextual advertising and uses the company’s proprietary in-house digital content management system ARGYLE.
oOh!’s head of production John Purcell said: “This McDonalds retail campaign uses ‘temperature-parting’ that schedules highly targeted and relevant campaigns across our digital screens based on the local temperature in each location.
“Through ARGYLE, live data connections triggers the scheduling of the particular advertising to align with the local temperature. We are able to schedule content right down to an individual panel in a particular location.”
McDonald’s Wraps and Loose Change Menu campaigns will also appear nationally on large format billboards and as part of a wider national campaign to 1 December 2014.
oOh!’s retail network reaches more than 14 million shoppers each fortnight who are in the right mindset to consider sales messages.
