Objective

Uplift in awareness through an ultra-targeted device

Location

France : 10 largest cities

Partners

Fabernovel ; JCDecaux ; Médiatransport ;  VIOOH

Europ assistance is the world leader in travel insurance, present in over 200 countries. In France, more than 35 million people will be covered in 2020.

For this campaign, Fabernovel and Europ Assistance purchased DOOH screens from two different advertising agencies. Targeting on the Displayce DSP allowed for the geographic selection of screens when the target “Women 25+” is four times more present than the French average in front of the screens.

The effectiveness of the campaign was measured thanks to a brand lift survey orchestrated by Happydemics via the Displayce DSP. Europ assistance thus benefited from an 18-point increase in brand image and 16 points in consideration.

The Columbia campaign context

Columbia embarked on a mission to position their brand as the go-to choice for outdoor activities. 

Spanning two distinct phases – the Warm Campaign from November to December 2023 and the Ski Campaign from December 2023 to January 2024 – Columbia’s branding efforts were meticulously designed to resonate with consumers – targeting 25-55 year olds – during the crucial winter season. The warm campaign aimed to raise brand awareness for the upcoming winter season, while the Ski campaign aimed to encourage purchase intentions.

In this context, Columbia, Spinnn and Displayce initiated simultaneous programmatic DOOH campaigns in five countries – including France, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom and Germany – to amplify brand activation and resonate with the right context and moments.

Using triggered programmatic DOOH for maximum impact and repetition

The campaign was conducted by Spinnn and supported by Displayce’s DSP. It was broadcasted on JCDecaux, Clear Channel, Goldbach Neo, Mediatransport, Walldecaux, DAX, Global, and Livesystems DOOH screens. Columbia strategically placed its messaging across 5,764 locations, including urban panels, train stations, metro stations, and bus shelters. They also leveraged temperature-triggered programmatic activations, ensuring their ads appeared when the outside temperature dropped below 8 degrees, aligning seamlessly with consumers’ winter preparations.

Additionally, they deployed precise dayparting with custom scheduling by venue type and country. For example, transportation ads in France were broadcasted only from 7 to 10 am, 12 to 3 pm, and 5 to 10 pm.

The Columbia results


Columbia’s campaigns achieved remarkable success, exceeding objectives in both raising consideration and driving sales.

Across all five markets, the campaign generated 71 396 417 impressions and 7 802 059 plays. Displayce relied on Happydemics to conduct a brand lift survey to analyze campaign results. The mobile programmatic survey was conducted over a month during the warm campaign to analyze results and optimize for the Ski campaign. The answers demonstrated a significant uplift in brand awareness with +25 points on average for all markets, ensuring that Columbia remained top-of-mind for consumers as they planned their winter adventures. Looking at market by market results, performance in Germany was very good in the consideration ( +33 points) and specific intent (+48 points) KPIs. On the other hand, they were less important for the brand familiarity KPI, which performed very well in Switzerland (+19 points). 

Through meticulous planning and execution, Columbia adeptly positioned itself as the premier destination for outdoor enthusiasts, effectively tapping into the desires and needs of its target demographic. By employing temperature-triggered programmatic activation and strategically selecting high-traffic locations such as transportation hubs and key malls, Columbia ensured maximum exposure and engagement with consumers at precisely the right moments.

Using programmatic DOOH and DCO for maximum impact and repetition 

The campaign was conducted by Gamned and FamousGrey and supported by Displayce’s DSP. It was broadcasted on JCDecaux and Clear Channel throughout VIOOH and Broadsign’s SSP. 4 DOOH screen categories were leveraged for the campaign to offer high traffic and target a diverse audience: shopping centers, bus shelters, stations, and urban panels.
