HALIFAX REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY’S SHINES A SPOTLIGHT ON ROAD SAFETY
USING THE POWER OF OOH
To capture the attention of drivers, pedestrians and cyclists, the Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM) planned an innovative way to reach locals with outward thinking. The #HeadsUpHalifax campaign, running in prominent areas of the city, featured 10’x20’ Horizontal Posters equipped with reflective vinyl that illuminated when hit with light by passing vehicles. The embellished billboards were successful in capturing the attention of thousands of Haligonians throughout the day and night. The easy-to-read text allowed for quick interpretation. The familiar crosswalk symbol and bold text displayed “Crosswalk Ahead” warned drivers to slow down in areas where pedestrians were expected and grabbed the attention of locals passing through these high traffic areas. With the power of Out-of-Home advertising, HRM was easily able to communicate with community members to warn them of the potential vehicular hazards that can occur with unsafe driving
HOW TO WIN CONSUMER TRUST WITH OUT-OF-HOME ADVERTISING
INSPIRING CONFIDENCE AMONG CANADIANS
Out-of-Home is one of the most effective advertising mediums in gaining brand awareness, building brand credibility, and winning consumer trust. This is very important for advertisers to consider when planning their campaigns, as shoppers are looking to purchase from companies they can relate to and have confidence in. Studies show that over 2 in 5 Canadians surveyed say Out-of-Home is their most preferred advertising format.1 Unlike any other advertising channel, Out-of-Home has the ability to seamlessly flow into people’s daily lives. A genuine relationship with customers can be hard to build, but once brand trust is established it can be seen as an insurance policy that helps brand loyalty grow. When asked in a survey, 76% of Canadians reported that they sometimes avoid reading, listening or viewing website ads1. This provides an opportune advantage for Out-of-Home to fill the gap. When transit riders wait for a bus and see a Transit Shelter ad, when drivers are on highway and pass by a Digital Superboard, or even when residents on an elevator and need a quick weather update, Out-of-Home not only delivers a brand message to consumers, they also have the power to entertain, inform, and influence.
