Tristan Cotterill

Moove Media Pte Ltd., ComfortDelGro’s outdoor advertising arm, is trialing taxi top advertising in Singapore for a six-month period.

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has approved for 50 vehicles to be on the road during the trial, it said in a statement.

Moove Media’s new taxi top smart digital billboards will be able to display different creatives based on the vehicle’s location, time of day and prevailing weather conditions, allowing advertisers the ability to tailor ads and target audiences with precision.

“We are proud to be pioneering the future of outdoor advertising in Singapore with the introduction of the first taxi top smart digital billboards. Our dynamic cab billboards offer unmatched access and visibility, offering brands a unique opportunity to reach their target audience in one of the world’s most densely populated cities. By leveraging geo-targeting capabilities, advertisers can significantly enhance their campaign return on investment,” said Jeffrey Kwek, CEO of Moove Media.

In Singapore, in order to avoid distracting drivers on the road, all advert transitions will only happen when the taxi is stationary.

Amazon is the first client.

QMS Attention-Driven Out of Home

October 17th, 2024

Tristan Cotterill

Leading digital outdoor media company QMS has released the results from its global-first research on the role human attention plays in out of home environments.

Amplified Intelligence CEO and Founder, Dr Karen Nelson-Field, topld us “The research confirms that OOH is far more than a fleeting glance – it captures real, measurable attention that translates into meaningful brand impact. This OOH data will serve as a powerful extension of our attention measurement framework, demonstrating how attention-based insights can complement traditional metrics to reveal the true impact of ads across multiple channels. In an era where capturing and holding attention is increasingly difficult, this data is key to driving stronger, more effective brand outcomes.”

The research therefore debunks the myth that OOH is a glance-only medium and showcases how brands can leverage the attention flywheel to maximise their OOH investment.

The landmark research by QMS and audience measurement company Amplified Intelligence revealed OOH ads scored an average 12 seconds of total attention.

Importantly, 90% of the QMS sites tested by Amplified Intelligence secured more than 2.5 seconds of active attention, which is the global threshold for something to be committed to long-term memory. In addition, the research found that OOH was 5.9 times more likely to deliver above the attention memory threshold than other digital channels.

The Biggest @DPAAGlobal #VideoEverywhere Summit

October 17th, 2024

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

For almost a decade, the DPAA Summit has easily been the largest one-day Global Media and Marketing Event and this week’s DPAA #VideoEverywhere Summit did not buck that trend and was once again, incredibly well attended.

Attendance figures for previous years have always been high (certainly between eight and nine hundred for each summit over the last two years) BUT (not that it is that important) has never quite broken the one thousand barrier.

Unoffically however we understand that this year’s event was very close, attracting 972 attendees.
