The ceremony, now entering its ninth year, celebrates the very best in outdoor planning from the last 12 months, actually saw Grand Visual up for three awards; with MyMonopoly taking home Highly Commended for Best use of Digital in Outdoor, in partnership with Talon, OMD UK, Ambient and Bite PR and their work on the Pepsi Unbelievable Bus Shelter which was shortlisted for Best use of Innovation in Outdoor (an award which was eventually won by TPF-London for ‘ESPN FC’).
It’s been a bumper start to the year for Grand Visual, with multiple wins at the Creative Circle awards and most recently, a British Arrow Award for the Pepsi Unbelievable Bus Shelter (also a finalist in The DailyDOOH Gala Awards last year), and an Opal Award for MyMonopoly.
Neil Morris (the Founder and CEO of Grand Visual) and his team have helped drive the dramatic emergence of Digital Out of Home over the past 10 years and have been responsible for many of the ‘wow’ moments the medium has seen to date in terms of creativity.
Neil then, was an obvious shoe-in to be THE content speaker at The DailyDOOH Media Summit and on Tuesday May 19 he will be presenting ‘It’s Big and it’s Clever : Delivering Innovation at Scale‘ to an audience of 200+ senior industry execs from the outdoor world.
In his presentation, he will be discussing the past, present and future of creativity in DOOH, looking at some of the pioneering moments over the last 10 years, as well as looking at what challenges the industry faces going forward and how they could be addressed.
Grand Visual’s mission is to combine creative thinking, technology expertise and production technique to make the most of the exciting space where digital technologies meet the out-of-home audience – where digital experiences intersect with the real, physical world.
In only its second year, The DailyDOOH Media Summit has become truly international, with guests not only coming from the UK, France, Germany, and the Netherlands but even further afield from Lebanon, Turkey, UAE, USA, Canada and even Australia!
The DailyDOOH MEDIA SUMMIT takes place Tuesday May 19, 2015 in The David Lean Room, BAFTA, 195 Piccadilly, London W1J 9LN.
