Tech and Creativity.
”In 2019 we have seen a certain increase in dynamic DOOH – with Burger King’s “Traffic Jam Whopper” as a great example. The campaign uses the best of technology and combines it with the core of OOH to reach a large number of people in a contextually relevant environment. The fact that they also succeed in reaching both current and potential customers – at the same time as they are getting a huge PR spread – makes the campaign even more excellent. A really smart campaign that combines creativity and the latest OOH technology. This is something I hope and think we will see a lot more of in the future!”

Point of interest.
”Looking back at 2019 we have seen many creative campaigns in Scandinavia, and in Denmark we had our first Hologram adshel. PlayStation chose to place their creative adshel next to a game retailer and became more dominant in their presence by doing so. The combination of a creative product in a relevant environment is a concept that I believe more advertisers will take advantage of in 2020.”

The power of beautiful creatives.
”In 2019, Unilever did a fun campaign with Pukka. This was the perfect combination of a beautiful creative and an interactive campaign. In 2020 I want to see more customers that fully take advantage of our products – both through sampling but also by putting heart into their creatives to deliver campaigns that stand out. Unilever used strong colors that brought light and joy into an otherwise dark autumn, at the same time as they used relevant call-to-action buttons that encouraged interaction. The fact that people passing by received a sample made everyone into winners. This is the kind of campaign that we remember.”

Augmented reality with OOH.
”In 2020 we will most definitely see more brands optimizing the possibilities of OOH. Already during 2019 we have seen a couple of examples, and the Northug campaign is one of them. Here, we have a static campaign with billboards and adshels, but that is not all. The campaign is also digital, using augmented reality and Snapchat which gives our products a new dimension. This is the perfect use of the oldest media in the world, and I think we will see more campaigns like this one in 2020.”

Making a difference.
”I would like to raise a campaign that is something more than just creativity. We can already foresee the main focus of 2020 – social sustainability. Kræftens Bekæmpelse’s campaign “Red din fars dag” from 2019 shows how you can use outdoor in an untraditional way to reach deep feelings. The campaign consisted of a competition where the winners got their contribution printed on an adshel close to the home of their father. Even though the outdoor media only were a small part of this campaign, I think this is the best campaign of 2019. It’s fantastic how our media really can make a difference. Campaigns like this is definitely something we will aim to be a bigger part of next year.”

All features of DOOH.
”2019 was the year of flexible smart planned campaigns. In 2020 I believe the focus will shift to creativity and relevant content based on data. Radio P5 managed to create a DOOH campaign with all the features the DOOH media can offer today – full motion to draw attention, dynamic content, 4-screen sync and flexible media planning only showing the campaign during rush hours. Genius.”

Invest in your artwork.
”In 2020, we will see much better artworks – a distinct trend we already have seen in 2019. I enjoy the fact that brands are investing in delivering good material, and it pays off. The level of effort will decide on the amount of attention the campaign will get. H&M’s really took advantage of the visuals and used the metro as their canvas for their campaign with Giambattista Valli. Previously, brands have been focusing on having nice creatives on social media, but finally they’re starting to understand the great benefits of looking good “in real life” as well.”

Account Manager, Norway.
Dynamic content reach the young.
”Using creative and dynamic campaigns is a good way to increase the relevance and attract your audience. One brand that has benefited from this, in an exemplary way, is Åhléns. With their annual Christmas calendar, they are highly relevant and take advantage of the flexible opportunities of dynamic scheduling. We have seen this before, but in 2020 I believe that many more will adapt to this and understand the effectiveness that lies within dynamic reach – especially to young people who act even more on dynamic and relevant content.”
