Pikasso, the leading Out-Of-Home advertising company throughout the Levant, North Africa and West Africa has partnered with Quividi.

Pikasso’s 128 state-of-the-art screens, located in eight already digitized shopping malls; the iconic ABC Verdun, CITYMALL, LeMall Dbayeh, and The Spot Choueifat in Lebanon, Abdali Mall and City Mall Amman in Jordan, as well as Bab Ezzouar, and Park Mall Sétif in Algeria, have all been equipped with Quividi Audience Measurement Platform (AMP).

The system provides Pikasso with the most accurate Audience & Attention analytics for DOOH and gives advertisers and agencies a unique understanding of their campaigns’ performances, as well as granular actionable insights to optimize their planning strategies.

Quividi real-time APIs and Algorithm Store also enable scalable experiential campaigns. Brands will be able to tap into the creative potential of hyper-context and combine the reach of a mass medium with the power of one-to-one contextualized interactions. This is the first time that Quividi’s technology is deployed at scale in the Levant and North-Africa.

This launching is a game-changer introduced by Pikasso for mall advertising in Lebanon, Jordan and Algeria.”
