Displayce, a leading European platform for programmatic buying in digital out-of-home communication, has unveiled ‘Airport Live Triggering’ in partnership with JCDecaux.

This new feature, exclusive to the Displayce DSP, enables self-service, real-time activation of DOOH campaigns across multiple airports within the JCDecaux inventory simultaneously, leveraging data such as flight boarding and landing gates.

We believe that Displayce is the first to have combined and modeled the exact location of JCDecaux’s screens within international airports with data from Cirium, a leading partner offering a global and standardized database covering 100,000 flights daily, representing 97% of worldwide flights. This modeling allows activating DOOH screens along the traveler’s path within the terminal based on flight origin or destination. This innovation, developed in collaboration with JCDecaux and its data entity, enables agencies and brands to self-activate the appropriate digital screens via the Displayce DSP based on passengers’ itineraries, ensuring campaign reach and repetition to the right audience at the right time. Engagement with their target audience is thus enhanced, taking campaign contextualization to the next level.
