CBS Outdoor “Exclusively Digital”
Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief
We have written a couple of times before about CBS Outdoor’s foray into the UK retail advertising market and their deal with the Westfield London mall which opens its doors at the end of this month.
Europe’s largest inner-city shopping destination will be one of the only retail environments in the UK to be exclusively digital.
The mall will include 110 bespoke, 57-inch LCD screens in Pods which fit seamlessly into the luxury environment. As mentioned by us previously these look great but we are disappointed that the screens are much too small.
As it should be with any Mall that is doing digital, the double-sided Pods are located on the main walkways.
As well as the Pods there are three bigger ‘landmark’ screens that are designed to add scale – the largest of the three screens measures 13m x 4.5m and is located above The Atrium.
Nicky Cheshire, Director of Alive, CBS Outdoor told us “Westfield London marks CBS Outdoor’s first move into the retail advertising market in the UK, and what more iconic and inspirational location could we hope for? Westfield London will be a magnet for the capital’s most affluent shoppers, whilst our digital screens will allow brands to redefine the way they converse with consumers in a retail environment.”
