Four OOH Market Strategies That Work

written by Valerie Carboni
ooh market strategies

The goal for any agency is to make a big impression for their clients. But this is becoming more difficult with increased competition, limited ad inventory, and growing campaign requests. That’s why you need new, innovative OOH market strategies to win against these challenges. Based on the mission you have, here are four market strategies that work (and the specific brand campaigns to back them up!)

Mission: Overcome limited OOH inventory

We’ve all been there. Your client wants to advertise in a market with limited OOH inventory. With the ever-growing gig economy, our driver-base can deploy OOH advertising virtually anywhere. We’ve helped build target audiences in places with limited or scarcely available media like Austin, Raleigh, and even College Station. 

Limited Media OOH Market Strategies

For recovery footwear brand OOFOS, they knew WHERE to target high-performance athletes (Ironman), but they weren’t sure HOW. The location of the Ironman North American Champion Race was in St. George, UT. With limited media options available, Wrapify helped them overcome these challenges. Just last weekend, they launched a successful advertising campaign that targeted the right audience at the right time. 

Mission: Increase footfall and product sales

Retailers, CPG, and alcohol brands often want to target distributor zones and key zip codes to drive foot traffic and product sales. These lofty goals can be difficult to achieve and even more to measure. That’s where the gig economy and performance-driven ad tech can step in. 

For example, TaylorMade aimed to measure sales for its new TP5 golf ball. One of their strategies was to drive wrapped cars around Dick’s Sporting Goods stores in DMAs like Atlanta. The result? A 102% lift in visits made to their TP5 product page.

Mission: Reach target market segments

Donut Effect OOH Market Strategies

COVID-19 completely changed America’s major metropolitan areas. With less populated city-centers and more people working from home, the “donut effect” transformed the suburbs into the new hotspot for target buyers. Wrapify compliments core media and gets brands into the suburbs of top markets – where people are spending more time than ever.

When Amazon wanted to drive recruitment in their top 20+ markets, Wrapify created hot zones based on the “donut effect” philosophy. Then, drivers were sent to the city center AND the suburbs of the key markets. This ensured the widest possible audience for the campaign.

“Wrapify has allowed Amazon to reach pockets of key markets that our traditional OOH buys weren’t reaching. It’s been a great addition to our traditional media mix and we’ve been impressed with their ability to track performance with foot traffic attribution data.”

Sandra F., Senior Media Manager, Amazon

Mission: Dominate the market

For larger media campaigns that need a nationwide reach, you need a “surround sound” campaign. This means flooding key markets with your client’s advertising. Wrapify’s campaigns can be amplified in multiple markets at once, penetrating downtown areas as well as suburbs and local neighborhoods.

For sports-betting platform Caesars Sportsbook, they were able to reach markets from NYC to Ann Arbor. Their Wrapify SWARM campaign included super-sized, fully-wrapped ride-share vehicles. They drove around key sporting events, providing the wide audience reach they were looking for.

In conclusion, advertising within the gig economy, ride-share advertising, car advertising, ads on cars, or vehicle wrap advertising (whatever you want to call it) …  is not just a one-trick-pony. As many brands have experienced, this high-recall OOH medium has been the key to brand building AND measuring performance.

Wrapify, the innovative and performance-driven out-of-home (OOH) advertising platform, announces Valerie Carboni as their first Vice President of Marketing. Valerie brings more than 12 years of experience in B2B marketing, most recently leading a global marketing team at TrustYou. Previously, Valerie worked at Cvent (CVT), leading the product marketing efforts for their Hospitality Cloud solutions.

In an effort to empower more brands with measurable OOH campaigns, Valerie will ensure that all marketers are fully aware of the benefits, best practices, and positive results of this form of advertising. Her experience running global marketing strategies, which required a clear return-on-investment, make her uniquely qualified to be a trusted resource for brands and agencies looking to do the same. 

“What excites me most about this role is the opportunity to bring ‘campaigns that work’ to marketers who are seeking real, attributable success,” explains Valerie. “Far too often, marketers come up against the challenge of spending money in the wrong places and missing the mark when it comes to ROI. Wrapify is their opportunity to change that.”

James Heller, Wrapify CEO and Founder, adds, “Many brand marketers, especially those focused on ABM or digital marketing, may not know the benefits of high-recall OOH. With Valerie’s knowledge and experience, we aim to help marketers understand the reach and measurability this medium offers.”

New Director of Ad Operations, Amy Lynn Boisvert, Brings Unmatched Digital Experience to Wrapify

Continuing to level up the out-of-home (OOH) ad industry, Wrapify introduces Amy Lynn Boisvert as its Director of Ad Operations.

Amy brings 20 years of digital advertising experience to the new role at Wrapify. Before joining our team, she served as the Director of Digital Marketing at Growing Boulder. Prior to that, Amy led programmatic strategy and ad operations at the Boston Globe for more than eight years. Amy’s impressive career also includes working with notable brands such as AOL.

“Amy’s extensive knowledge, programmatic experience, and ability to navigate a rapidly changing industry will elevate Wrapify’s demonstrated success, both for us and our clients,” said Wrapify’s CEO and Founder James Heller.

Wrapify creates robust and fully measurable out-of-home ad campaigns, leveraging the gig economy and the highest-recall OOH medium on the road. Our unique technology can effectively attribute vehicle exposure to conversion online, in-app, or foot traffic. It also provides gig workers with an opportunity to earn extra income for the driving they already do. 

Once a brand identifies regions and sets its target demographic and psychographics, the Wrapify team gets to work. Channeling decades of experience, we produce effective creative for the campaign’s fleet.

And that’s just the beginning. The ability to measure and retarget the audience exposed is what sets us apart — and why Amy’s skill set is crucial for our team.

“As an advertiser, I know car wrapping by itself might seem like a novelty. I experienced the same pain points our clients have, specifically with the lack of attribution,” Amy said. “Wrapify changes the game. I’m excited to be a part of this overdue industry disruption.” 

In this position, Amy will oversee all digital ad operations. She will also work with brands and agencies to implement ‘Physical Retargeting,’ our digital remarketing service, and ‘Audience Porting,’ a true differentiator in the out-of-home space.

“We’ve taken the most noticeable ad medium in out-of-home advertising, vehicle wraps, and revolutionized it,” James explains. “Our platform provides advertisers with visualized attribution and retargeting capabilities while putting cash back into the pockets of the ever-growing gig economy.”

by James Heller August 12, 2020
written by James Heller
ad-tech-inc-5000-wrapify-two-time-list-honoree

NEW YORK, August 12, 2020 – Inc. magazine today announced that Wrapify, the performance-driven ad tech platform for brands powered by OOH and the gig-economy, made Inc.’s list for the second year in a row.  The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses. 

By combining its powerful performance-driven out-of-home (OOH) and omnichannel ad tech platform with the gig economy, Wrapify empowers Fortune 500 brands like AT&T, Coca-Cola, and Salesforce to reach tailored audiences in an omnichannel environment where traditional media cannot via wrapped vehicles. 

Via its Attribution Suite and Physical Retargeting capabilities, Wrapify bridges the gap between online and offline advertising all while serving brands with measurable, actionable analytics to help target and scale ad campaigns. Recently, Wrapify also launched it’s Boost Platform for OOH transit media providers and operators, to serve yet another segment of out-of-home advertising.

“Making into the Inc. 5000 two years in a row is a massive achievement for the Wrapify team.  Adding new products and taking the OOH industry further into the digital age with advancements in attribution and opening up the platform to transit media providers helps extend this recognition to the entire industry,” said James Heller, CEO of Wrapify. “2020 has undoubtedly been a rough year for the entire world and continuing to thrive in this environment is no small feat. We are honored to receive this valuable recognition two years in a row and we look forward to supporting our loyal brands, agencies, and OOH industry at large!”

Not only have the companies on the 2020 Inc. 5000 been very competitive within their markets, but the list as a whole shows staggering growth compared with prior lists as well. The 2020 Inc. 5000 achieved an incredible three-year average growth of over 500 percent and a median rate of 165 percent. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue was $209 billion in 2019, accounting for over 1 million jobs over the past three years.

Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000.

“The companies on this year’s Inc. 5000 come from nearly every realm of business,” says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “From health and software to media and hospitality, the 2020 list proves that no matter the sector, incredible growth is based on the foundations of tenacity and opportunism.” The annual Inc. 5000 event honoring the companies on the list will be held virtually from October 23 to 27, 2020. As always, speakers will include some of the greatest innovators and business leaders of our generation.”

Methodology

The 2020 Inc. 5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2016 and 2019. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2016. They had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2019. (Since then, a number of companies on the list have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2016 is $100,000; the minimum for 2019 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Companies on the Inc. 500 are featured in Inc.’s September issue. They represent the top tier of the Inc. 5000, which can be found at http://www.inc.com/inc5000.

Boost brings attribution reporting, data visualization and multi-channel retargeting capabilities to transit outdoor advertising

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 06, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Wrapify, the performance-driven ad tech platform for brands powered by OOH and the gig-economy, today announced a first-of-its-kind product for the transit media space with the launch of its Boost Platform, turning a moving out-of-home (OOH) ad placement into digital and physical retargeting with full attribution and measurement.

Historically, transit OOH and attribution has been difficult to measure. Boost encompasses all of the features that turn a moving OOH ad placement into digital and physical retargeting with full attribution and measurement. For the first time, offline-to-online advertising for transit OOH operators and fleet operators are able to access attribution and retargeting data in a dashboard online.

Preview of Wrapify’s Boost Platform

By leveraging Boost, brands can connect their fleet’s location data, create targeted audiences, extend the reach of their OOH ad placement and measure performance against custom conversion goals. Brands can also access attribution reporting from OOH exposure as well as retargeting reporting, OOH media measurement and data visualization.

“We are excited to enable our mobile billboard fleet with the powerful attribution and retargeting capabilities that Wrapify Boost provides,” said Jeff Griffing, CEO AllOver Media. “AllOver Media has been fortunate that over the last 18 years our mobile billboard customers have been very loyal based on their ROI. We’re now happy to pilot a program with Wrapify and their new tools that can help our customers enhance their media investments even further.”

Enabling branded vehicles with Wrapify’s Boost Platform can turbocharge existing branded fleet inventory of trucks, vans and corporate vehicles with multi-channel ‘Physical Retargeting’ and attribution.

“This powerful gravitas is unique to OOH, yet it’s no longer enough on its own. The industry must endeavor to prove itself with science,” says James Heller, CEO and Co-founder of Wrapify. “Luckily, the work we’ve done over the past five years on our own OOH platform created the opportunity to inform smarter attribution, retargeting and tracking for ROI for the rest of the industry. This is a game-changer for Wrapify and the transit OOH segment at large.”
