JCDecaux Innovate Touch-Screen Bus Shelters
LG recently launched a national Out of Home campaign to coincide with the launch of their latest Chocolate handsets (including the new Chocolate BL40 and the forthcoming Chocolate BL20) – this two week campaign ran across London 6 sheets and national bus T sides in addition to the five interactive touch screen bus shelter specials booked in London, Manchester and Glasgow shown here.
The digital bus shelters featured information about the handsets plus characters and trailers from James Cameron’s Avatar film, out in cinemas on the 17th December.
The interactive bus shelter 6 sheets implemented by JCDecaux Innovate – remember these from Goo The Egg?, Ed hosted a 42” touchscreen combined with a PIR motion activated system and camera. When inactive the screen simply features the Na’vi’s eyes until a member of the public approaches and the motion sensor activates a talking Avatar before the new Chocolate LG40 comes into shot.
A short video shows the touchscreen and qwerty keypad navigation, a walkthrough of the web browser, Google maps, and GPS applications before going to the media browser and selecting a video clip which launches the 30 second Avatar trailer.
Returning to the media browser carousel, the user is then invited to opt in by pressing icons on the screen to view more product information, take part in a competition or view the trailer again.
Mindshare and Kinetic handled the media planning and buying for this campaign which was supported by online activity produced by Kudo Digital.
John Barton, Sales and Marketing Director at LG told us “We wanted to have an impactful execution that would bring the new LG Chocolate’s features set to life in an accurate and creative way. This solution is excellent at both grabbing attention and involving consumers in the content.”

The interactive element is both fun and informative in an environment where dwell times are lengthy and consumers are crying out for stimulation.”
