THE GALLERY
Digital Out-of-Home is developing fast as a medium with a number of creative possibilities open to client and agency.
At Grand Visual we see 3 broad categories of campaign:
• LINEAR – typically featuring video spots played out in a loop;
• DYNAMIC – responsive and tactical activity prompted by external events or input;
• INTERACTIVE – involving touchscreen functionality or gesture sensing or some other camera detected stimulus which changes or affects copy.
Below is a gallery of our favourite projects. Click on a thumbnail to see a short video and some copy about each campaign. And if you like it, and would like to know more, just give us a shout.
LINEAR
Nokia4
Working with Wieden+Kennedy, Grand Visual created 3 executions to run on CBS Outdoor’s DEP and XTP
formats. Two of the executions used GV’s OpenLoop platform to 'pull' live content from both Reuters and
Facebook for latest news and the status updates - reinforcing the campaign line “Online as it happens”.
The 3rd execution was a linear spot promoting Nokia’s OVI store.
NIKE_PROMO_new
Grand Visual’s OpenLoop was at the heart of the first ever tactical copy DOOH campaign to run across
9 different networks. Feeding a media booking that began at “final whistle” of each England match the
campaign delivered an immediate Nike “point of view” on action that had finished minutes before.
Nike’s team at Wieden+Kennedy London created final copy on OpenLoop and published to the multiple
formats in one pass.

This campaign for ITV’s launch of flagship breakfast show “Daybreak” included tactical daypart
messages written by ITV’s marketing team via Grand Visual’s OpenLoop platform and published
to outdoor and online media simultaneously. Lucy Scott, Team Manager at BBH commented: “By
using OpenLoop we have been able to harness the flexibility of digital outdoor media and sync it
with all online communications.”

innovative way”.

people talking."
