Why run static display ad campaigns in a fast-moving city where people are constantly on the move?
Instead, make an impact on your audience when advertising in London by moving and navigating through the city with them.
Moving with your audience and exposing them to your OOH advertisements multiple times will help to improve brand awareness and recognition.
Research demonstrates that consumers who saw an advertisement 10 or more times had greater purchase intentions than consumers with less exposure.
Out-of-Home transit media advertising, like we offer at Drovo, enables you to move with audiences, and helps you to make a greater impact on commuters, pedestrians, motorists, and people out shopping.
We are proud to have the largest UK network of carbon-neutral transit media. Sustainable advertising is an important issue to us, thus we have put measure in place to ensure all miles travelled by our vehicle are 100% carbon offset.

You know roughly where your audience is in London, but you may be unsure about how to geotarget your OOH campaigns in a way that makes a real impact and difference.
After all, London is a big place with a population of over 9 million potential customers, so, targeting a niche audience with your Out-of-Home advertisements can at first seem like picking out a needle in a haystack!
For businesses rolling out OOH advertising in London, Drovo offers cutting-edge geotargeting technology that moves with your target audience and ensures granular targeting for your on-vehicle campaigns.
In addition, we also send complementary display ads to the mobile devices of your target audience as our branded vehicle passes by.
This way, you hit your hyper target audience with two stones, with both the Out-of-Home physical ad on the vehicle and a mobile ad.
An ideal way to ensure your brand connects with customers across multiple touch points and get them interested in purchasing from you on their mobiles.
Here our Chief Revenue Officer and programmatic advertising specialist at Drovo, Frederic Lutt, gives his insights into how our shadowfencing feature helps you hyper target your audience.
Monitor the Progress of Your OOH Campaigns Properly
Have you had a real headache with trying to monitor your OOH campaigns?
Have you found that you have been unable to get important real-time data to keep up to date on how your campaigns are performing? You cannot get such live data with London bus campaigns, for instance.
Fortunately, thanks to the live vehicle campaign dashboard our team have worked hard on creating at Drovo, anyone advertising in London now has heaps more transparency over the progress of their OOH campaigns by being able to monitor them in real-time.
Drovo’s live tracking dashboard gives you key real-time data insights, such as audience impressions and miles driven, by each vehicle and the London boroughs where these were generated.
Use our dashboard to focus on specific areas of London, such as central London. As you see here, our client managed to gain the vast majority of their impressions in ‘interested areas’, meaning their taxi wrap advertisements were shown to audiences in the neighbourhoods they were targeting.
Our dashboard gives brands and advertisers more oversight and accountability over the progress of their OOH campaigns in London. Find out more about how our intuitive live tracking dashboard works in the video below.

Distribute Product Samples to Outdoor Audiences in London

We provide ambassadors to hand out samples of your products to audiences as a brand activation for iconic London taxi campaigns. In a campaign that we organised for Paco Rabanne, we handed out 5,000 samples on Oxford Street of the brand’s new perfume that was being launched, Fame, during London Fashion Week.
Drovo’s product sampling brand activation generates awareness of your new product that leads to new customers down the line.
Use QR Codes for Your OOH Advertising Campaigns in London
Another simple way to uplift on-street audience engagements with your Out-of-Home campaigns in London is to use QR codes in your ads!
Whether it’s a billboard, poster, digital screen, or an advert at a bus stop, or train station, a well-placed QR code helps to get Out-of-Home audiences interested in your brand in a matter of seconds.
McDonald’s is an example of a brand that has pushed QR code promotions offering special customer deals in their advertising campaigns to great effect. McDonald’s is a well-known international fast food brand that has been featured in popular films over the years.
The Mcdonald’s ‘As Featured In’ campaign decided to lean on this by giving customers packaging that features a QR code that leads them to an interactive experience allowing them to watch key film scenes in which the Mcdonald’s items were featured.
