Philippines – Lifestyle destination developer Ayala Malls has forged a partnership with out-of-home (OOH) solutions provider Summit Outdoor Media to redefine customers’ retail experience.

The partnership leverages Ayala Malls’ high traffic and strategic locations to deploy Summit Outdoor Media’s suite of integrated OOH solutions. It aligns with Ayala Malls’ goal to solidify its position as an innovative mall developer, while Summit Outdoor Media aims to enhance customer experience through targeted content.

Through the collaboration, brands and advertisers can leave an impact and enrich shoppers’ experiences. OOH formats include interactive digital displays, experiential zones for brand interactions, and integrated mobile connectivity.

With the fusion of different formats, Summit Outdoor Media is expected to contribute to the ambience and engagement within Ayala Malls. 

The partnership is set to first roll out at One Ayala, targeting the commuters at the Makati transport hub.

The integration of OOH solutions will be made under the direction of Paul Birkett, chief operating officer at Ayala Malls.

“Ayala Malls’ vision is to shape inspiring environments that spark imagination and deliver personalised, immersive experiences. This partnership with Summit Outdoor Media allows us to expand the canvas upon which Ayala Malls, tenants, and relevant brands create visual brand identities which resonate with our unique customer demographics,” Birkett said.

“Our malls are intentionally designed to serve as a catalyst for meaningful connections between brands and consumers. Consumer journeys have shifted from a linear path to a dynamic, multi-touchpoint environment. Merchants and brand partners need to engage with consumers beyond their stores and owned channels, as consumers experience moments of influence at different stages and touchpoints. Having an extensive array of OOH solutions in Ayala Malls provides more opportunities for our merchants, brand partners, and consumers to meaningfully connect, engage, and interact,” Birkett added.

“We’re excited to partner with Ayala Malls to bring fresh, innovative out-of-home solutions to their spaces. By combining our creative and tech-driven approach with Ayala Malls’ premier retail environments, we’re opening new ways for brands to connect with people through immersive and experiential experiences,” Abigail Pe Aguirre, deputy head of Summit Outdoor Media, commented.

Manila, Philippines – Local telecommunications company Globe, through its SME arm myBusiness, is launching its annual #GiftLocal campaign to encourage local support from micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME).

The campaign further encourages that Filipino consumers should buy gifts from local MSMEs, especially with the forthcoming holiday seasons this year. This is accompanied by Globe myBusiness’ partnership with e-commerce platform Lazada to host a three-Day e-Bazaar that will feature partner MSMEs such as Bayongciaga, Punta Riviera Resort, Old World Food Enterprise, and Robi & Peach RTW clothing.

“This year’s Gift Local campaign will serve an even greater purpose, as we feature the products of our SME partners that will delight Filipino customers for their gift giving celebration, while supporting our local SMEs bounce back in these challenging times,” Maridol Ylanan, Globe myBusiness strategy and marketing head stated.

In addition to online presence, Globe myBusiness will also feature products from their partner MSMEs to partner malls such as Ayala Malls and SM Premier Malls.

The annual #GiftLocal campaign coincides with the government’s “Ingat Angat Tayong Lahat” advocacy that pushes private corporations and SMEs to build consumer confidence to rebuild the Philippine economy.
