JCDecaux Launches New Digital M4 Torch
Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief
JCDecaux has unveiled its new screens on the M4 Torch with campaigns that demonstrate the flexibility of digital outdoor. With two new product launches from HTC, an evening drive-time campaign from Diageo and multiple creatives from fashion brand UGG, the screens are part of JCDecaux’s continued investment in the medium.
The M4 Torch stands of course on the busiest stretch of road between London and Heathrow Airport and provides 1.8 million impacts every week and an audience that is 67% ABC1.
The upgrade has provided two (6.75m x 4.5m) screens with a 10mm pitch, delivering an image that is 3 times the quality of the previous screens, keeping the Torch at the forefront of digital outdoor.
Jane Ratcliffe, CEO of MediaCom told us “It’s great to see JCDecaux continuing with its investment into cutting edge digital. The quality of the new screens opens up the market to upscale clients who are looking for not only quality of display but also the flexibility of digital. Looking ahead, this is just what the market needs in the run up to London 2012”
