AFRICA NEWSSouth Africa: JCDecaux sub-Saharan Africa collaborates with Cars.co.za to use Out-of-Home to grow e-Commerce in South AfricaJCDecaux, together with Cars.co.za, a leading online automotive retail portal, have joined forces to offer South African vehicle buyers the most comprehensive resource available, to enable them to make the most informed decisions. With a strong presence on multiple digital platforms and ranked in the top five branded South African YouTube channels (source: Socialbakers.com), Cars.co.za embarked on a month-long campaign, identifying JCDecaux as an Out-of-Home Advertising Solutions partner to offer a diverse and rich medium that would allow for a unique spectrum of creativity. As consumers are spending more time outside the home, Out-of-Home advertising has become the medium that effectively reaches people in the Active Space. Considered timing and placement of brand messaging allows Out-of-Home to direct audiences to online and mobile communication platforms. Cars.co.za identified that audiences are constantly connected through their smartphones and tablets and while mobile offers an opportunity for brands to communicate directly with consumers, competition for their attention is high in the increasingly fragmented media environment. Out-of-Home is uniquely placed to drive traffic at a chosen point in the consumers’ journey and is the key media that can offer content to an audience that is on-the-go. Cars.co.za recognized this as an opportunity to offer relevant messaging through a ‘call to action’ at a time where the audience is most receptive to it. The month-long campaign was focused on the Gauteng and Cape Town regions, with simple and clean creative on the JCDecaux network of Citilites and Supersigns. The networks offer a flexible, off-the-shelf solution to various strategies, offering high levels of reach and frequency whilst targeting selected audiences and lifestyles. Mark Cooper, CEO of JCDecaux sub-Saharan Africa said, “as the leaders and driving force in the advancement and growth of Out-of-Home in Africa, JCDecaux is well-positioned to provide simple, impactful and effective advertising in unique environments. It is our priority to offer brands using traditional media an opportunity to gain incremental reach and increased recallability.” “The collaboration between JCDecaux and Cars.co.za is a great example of how classic billboards, which are incredibly dominant, and strategically placed, are a powerful tool to communicate a brand’s message.” Mark Geldart, Marketer at Cars.co.za said: “although our brand operates primarily in the digital space, there are significant strategic advantages to communicating our messages via certain traditional media. Through a well-devised strategy created and executed in conjunction with JCDecaux, we have achieved great reach in specified areas, which generated notable brand awareness in support of our digital endeavours.” |
