/in /by
(Pictured above) PATTISON Outdoor expands its advertising footprint in Calgary with new BRT passenger displays. (Pictured right) PATTISON’s ‘Next Bus Arrival’ feature provides Calgary MAX Transit riders with up-to-the-minute information.

 

CALGARY, AB, JANUARY 29th, 2019 – PATTISON Outdoor Advertising, Canada’s foremost Out-of-Home advertising company officially announces the launch of its state-of-the-art BRT Passenger Information screens. This innovative transformation brings eighty-seven freestanding structures across the four new lines of Calgary’s MAX Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service, providing the transit audience with timely and vital information on vehicle schedules through PATTISON’s ‘Next Bus Arrival’ feature. PATTISON also offers advertisers an unparalleled opportunity to target the Calgary market at large, with a combined total of 172 screens that elevate the transit experience by pairing passenger spots with relevant and valuable advertising content.

 

Extending the mission of Calgary Transit, PATTISON’s ‘Next Bus’ Automated Passenger Information System (APIS) enhances the commuter experience by bringing accessible and reliable information on arriving busses, while presenting an exciting opportunity to advertisers. Measuring at 55”, these vertically-oriented Outdoor displays have high viewability, offering local and national businesses the opportunity of targeting both pedestrians and vehicular traffic. Situated at outdoor bus stops, the digital passenger displays reach consumers across Calgary’s greater neighbourhoods – areas that were previously unreachable by other forms of media, such as the affluent suburbs along the South Crosstown MAX Teal line.

 

“The fusion of integrated design, advance passenger information, and advertising represents the future of the Out-of-Home industry,” said Brian de Ruiter, Vice President and General Manager, Prairie Region, PATTISON Outdoor. “We are thrilled to provide Calgary Transit with Canada’s most state-of-the-art transit vehicle information system and offer advertisers the opportunity to take their advertising to a whole new level throughout the City of Calgary.”

 

Calgary’s new BRT integrates with existing transit lines in Calgary, including the Bus and Light Rapid Transit (LRT) systems, both of which PATTISON represents advertising for as well. Businesses can benefit by pairing BRT passenger screens with the current Digital LRT network, along with other transit formats, for campaigns that penetrate their target audience in meaningful ways. PATTISON also offers the option to scale nationally with product offerings similar to the BRT displays in markets such as Vancouver and Montreal.

PATTISON Outdoor Reaches Donors with Digital Donation Wall in Support of #SheToo

/in /by
A PATTISON Outdoor digital matrix accepts donations via a “tap-to-give” payment terminal in support of CARE Canada’s #SheToo initiative, which is part of CARE’s March4Women campaign.

 

TORONTO, ON, April 4, 2018 – PATTISON Outdoor, Canada’s leading Out-of-Home advertising company and its digital innovation arm, Fourthwall teamed up with Jungle Media to  promote CARE Canada’s She Too movement in an interactive campaign that launched this week in Toronto’s PATH. In the execution, a PATTISON digital matrix is reframed as a digital donation wall, where passersby are offered an opportunity to directly engage with CARE’s overall mission. The She Too campaign is a part of CARE’s March4Women initiative, which aims to overcome poverty and discrimination by creating equal rights and opportunities for women and girls in developing countries.

 

“CARE’s She Too campaign is capturing the momentum of a global movement raising awareness and action for women everywhere. Not just in Hollywood or in North America, but in developing countries where women might not have a safe place to share their story and get support,” says Kasia Souchen, Digital Marketing Manager at CARE Canada. “Together with PATTISON, we’re eager to engage with Torontonians on this important issue and offer an easy way to make a real difference in the lives of women and girls in developing countries.”

 

Found in the Royal Bank Plaza of Toronto’s downtown PATH, CARE Canada’s four-week interactive stunt is a first for the charitable organization, and the Canadian Out-of-Home industry. With Fourthwall handling the production and installation, the “tap-to-donate” panel was designed to accept preset donations of $5 using a cashless payment terminal, accepting credit and debit cards as well as smart phone payments. A full-motion digital spot, vinyl poster and branded payment panel were also designed by Fourthwall to direct passing donors to the terminal. To complement the campaign, brand ambassadors from CARE Canada will be scheduled on-site for a portion of the campaign to answer any questions consumers may have about the organization and its work.

 

“We are proud to work with Jungle Media and support CARE Canada in their mission of bringing awareness to women across the globe,” says Dmitri Melamed, Vice President and General Manager of Fourthwall. “The cashless payment solution offers passersby who are in a hurry or who do not have exact change, the ability to make simple and quick donations to this great cause.”“

“The digital stunt is a compelling aspect to this campaign,” says Catherine Ramsey, Media Planner at Jungle Media. “The simple contactless donation system bridges the gap between building impassioned awareness and making real change in the moment. We are thrilled to include this impactful execution as a part of our campaign this year.”

 

Appearing in the busy retail concourse of Toronto’s Royal Bank Plaza, this execution is a part of a larger, general awareness campaign in-market since March 1 that includes PATTISON Transit Interior Cards in Calgary, Ottawa and Toronto; PATH posters; TTC digital network creative, along with newspaper insertions, TV Closed Captioning placements, other Out-of-Home spots and digital display advertising.

Edmonton International Airport Welcomes Travellers with New Samsung 4K HDR LED Display

/in /by
The 32’ x 12’ landmark 4K HDR LED display now provides travelers with critical information in the highest traffic central security terminal area.

 

Mississauga, ON – April 10, 2018 – Travelers passing through Edmonton International Airport (EIA) can now enjoy Canada’s largest 4K HDR LED display within an airport, thanks to a new state-of-the-art installation by Samsung Canada and PATTISON Outdoor Advertising. Every day, 9,000 travelers pass through the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA) central security area at EIA[1], spending a significant amount of dwell time there.

 

To help reduce stress levels and elevate the travel experience overall, key information ranging from security waiting periods to gate time and details will be shown on the new 4K HDR LED display. Given that close to 40 per cent of global airport revenues are estimated to come from non-aeronautical sources[2], the stunning landmark LED screen is also used to advertise onsite EIA retail, food and beverage options, parking and more. The board will also be able to provide emergency updates in special circumstances as well as entertainment and live broadcast coverage.

 

“As a leader in digital technology, we are pleased to partner with the EIA and PATTISON teams to create the largest 4K HDR LED airport display in Canada – an innovative and stunning solution that has the ability to help elevate the travel experience for passengers,” said Mary Peterson, Vice President, IT & Enterprise Solutions, Samsung Canada.

 

Samsung has the ability to build seamless video walls that can adapt to any dimension, shape or curve. The stadium-screen sized display at EIA is 32’ x 12’ in size, providing eye-catching, bright and detailed image quality from wide viewing angles thanks to its fine 2.5mm pixel pitch.

 

The new Samsung IF series boasts innovative HDR technology, creating a true-to-life viewing experience with high quality content. With limited wall space available for mounting within EIA’s central security area, the dynamic, dual-sided 4K HDR LED display was installed from the ceiling for maximum visibility and impact.

 

“This extraordinary Samsung digital display screen was exactly what we needed for our drive to digitize our terminal,” said Myron Keehn, Vice President of Air Service and Commercial Development, Edmonton International Airport. “This board allows us to improve our passenger experience by providing travelers with information more efficiently as well as provide opportunities for advertisers to promote their product or services on state-of-the-art technology at EIA.”

 

PATTISON Outdoor, Canada’s largest Out-of-Home advertising provider and leader in airport advertising, manages the advertising operations for EIA. Providing EIA and its clients with high-quality products in highly sought-after locations, PATTISON prides itself on offering clients total advertising solutions that include everything from campaign conception, to design, through to completion. With PATTISON, advertisers benefit from a range of services to optimize their campaign. PATTISON’s full range of premium product formats in high-dwell areas at the EIA give advertisers an exceptional opportunity to engage a desirable consumer group made up of a higher-than-average income demographic.

 

“Located at central security, the display targets a desirable and high-income consumer group made up of domestic and international travellers, and pairs advertising alongside timely airport information,” said Brian de Ruiter, Vice President and General Manager, Prairie Region at PATTISON Outdoor. “This integrated wayfinding solution displays time and security waiting periods, and demonstrates our commitment to growing our digital airport portfolio at the Edmonton Airport and to offering advertisers highly-visible and premium products in exclusive settings.”

PATTISON Outdoor and Fourthwall Celebrate Mazda’s 50th Anniversary in Canada with Digital Storefront

/in /by

Pictured above: To celebrate Mazda Canada’s 50th anniversary, a PATTISON Outdoor digital matrix displays a limited edition Guy Allen print, which fans can purchase using a tap-to-pay terminal shown on the right of the screen.

 

TORONTO, ON, February 12, 2018 – PATTISON Outdoor, Canada’s leading Out-of-Home advertising company, along with its digital and interactive arm, Fourthwall partnered with agency, J. Walter Thompson and Mazda Canada to celebrate the automotive brand’s 50th anniversary with their followers. To commemorate the occasion, Mazda Canada is releasing a series of limited edition prints through a PATTISON Outdoor digital storefront designed exclusively for the event. This interactive digital campaign launched on Wednesday ahead of the Canadian International AutoShow, where the automotive brand is eligible to win two ‘Car of the Year’ awards from the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC).

 

Located in the Royal Bank Plaza of Toronto’s PATH, this four-week interactive stunt is a first for PATTISON Outdoor, Fourthwall and Mazda. A 93” x 165” large format screen plays full-motion video, depicting the illustrations of British automotive artist, Guy Allen. Mazda’s brand messaging directs fans to a payment terminal where they can tap-to-purchase a limited edition 18” x 24” print. Buyers are then issued receipts with a unique code and dedicated website url where they can input their mailing address to redeem their posters.

“Unattended payment solutions are rarely used in outdoor advertising campaigns—specifically solutions that are based on tap technology,” says Dmitri Melamed, Vice President and General Manager of Fourthwall. “J. Walter Thompson’s creative vision allowed our team yet again to execute an innovative and challenging project. We’re honoured to have contributed to Mazda’s milestone celebration in Canada.”

“Mazda has such a rich, yet often overlooked, history in Canada and we felt it was important to share that history in a way that feels less like advertising,” says Ari Elkouby, Vice President and Creative Director at J. Walter Thompson Canada. “The prints allow us to tell Mazda’s incredible brand story in a way that feels more like art, which better encapsulates the feeling of Mazda’s clubhouse philosophy.”

Each week of the four-week campaign offers passersby the opportunity to collect a new illustration in the Guy Allen series for Mazda. This ad appears in a busy retail concourse of the Royal Bank Plaza in Toronto and is a part of a larger four-week out-of-home campaign in-market during the same time period.

From train arrival times to engaging real-time news, entertainment, sports and weather updates, these screens have become a part of their daily routine.

 

The expanded rollout of news content across the transit networks includes breaking news updates, as well as stories on politics, the economy, arts, entertainment and more, powered through Globalnews.ca, which attracted more than a billion page views in 2017. Global News is also the official provider of weather updates, through its innovative SkyTracker Weather app, supported by Global News’ Meteorologists across Canada, showing current and forecasted weather conditions updated in real-time.

 

“We are delighted about our expanded partnership with Global News as our content provider on the TTC and Calgary Transit Networks,” said Cam Milne, Vice President and General Manager at PATTISON. “The content displayed on our Networks is a big part of our audience engagement, so its quality and ability to speak specifically to each community across the country is immensely important to us. Commuters will be kept in the loop on the day’s stories and events as they unfold with a reliable Canadian news source they can depend on”.

“I am pleased that Global News continues to grow – informing even more Canadians with the latest news and information on the go,” said Troy Reeb, Senior Vice President, Global News and Corus Radio. “Our alliance with PATTISON is an important one – as the pace of news continues to accelerate, commuters deserve to rely on a trusted news source that offers credible information and facts in real time.”

 

The implementation of Global News content and weather updates took effect last April 2017 on PATTISON screens in major markets across Canada, including Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax and Winnipeg. Combined, the Office, Residential and ETS Transit Networks deliver over 4.3 million impressions every week.

Saint John Transit Shelter Transformed into Park Oasis in New Campaign for Tourism New Brunswick

/in /by

Transit Shelter in Uptown Saint John, NB transformed overnight into a Park Retreat for Tourism New Brunswick.

 

SAINT JOHN, NB, September 13, 2017 – PATTISON Outdoor Advertising teamed up with m5 Marketing Communications, Wavelight Productions and Tourism New Brunswick to bring the spectacular scenery of New Brunswick’s Provincial Parks to the residents of Saint John for a new tourism campaign for the province. On July 28th, a park oasis was set up overnight at a bus stop near Market Square in Uptown Saint John, where park guides welcomed delighted visitors. The Out-of-Home stunt was part of a new online campaign for Tourism New Brunswick entitled, “Getting Away is Closer than You Think.”

 

Working with the City, PATTISON Outdoor secured the location and city approvals for the innovative execution at the Market Square in Uptown Saint John. Wavelight Productions and Shannon Multimedia Productions were involved in the recreation of the Shelter, as well as in producing and filming a video for Tourism New Brunswick’s online campaign. This execution included scenic vinyl adhered to the shelter, custom landscaping, park guides and a sign to bring awareness to the nine Provincial Parks throughout New Brunswick. The online video was pushed out through digital and social media channels and has amassed over 150,000 views to date.

 

“Using the element of surprise, the Department of Tourism, Heritage and Culture’s marketing branch wanted to create a fun and shareable video to build awareness of Provincial Parks as part of a New Brunswick based advertising campaign. The intent of the campaign, ‘Getting Away is Closer Than You Think,’ is to demonstrate to New Brunswick residents all of the experiences available so close to home,” says Jennifer Kenny, Senior Director of Client Service, New Brunswick of m5 Marketing Communications. “We needed a busy street location and a bus stop space that was ideal for transformation as well as for filming. This bus stop fit all criteria.” The New Brunswick campaign included fully-wrapped transit shelter locations in Moncton, Fredericton and Saint John and was paired with TV, radio and digital advertising throughout the province.

 

PATTISON Outdoor is a full service Out-of-Home media company, providing end-to-end campaign support, including planning, management, creative services, production and 24/7 network monitoring.
