Singapore – The Singapore arm of advertising company JCDecaux has launched its programmatic OOH media across various advertising channels, including bus advertising screens and airport advertising screens.

The company is launching first this strategy to 38 digital bus advertising screens. With these buses traveling along prime areas of Orchard Road the Central Business District, it is expected to generate 66 million impressions across the digital bus shelter inventory. 

Furthermore, the advertising inventory is connected to global demand-side platforms through supply-side platform VIOOH, which allows advertisers planning for offline+online campaigns within a single platform, and allowing them to manage their advertising inventory.

“Programmatic OOH is at the cusp of sea change in Singapore and the region. Many advertisers have expressed interest in our programmatic OOH offering and are keen to explore this to its fullest potential. We are thus delighted to work with VIOOH to launch our programmatic out-of-home media offer beginning with digital bus shelter screens. As we intensify the education journey and transition from traditional mode of buying and selling to a programmatic one, we will also be adding more diverse audiences to our offers by including a wider array of our digital OOH inventory,” said Evlyn Yang, managing director of JCDecaux Singapore.

The company will also roll out digital out-of-home (DOOH) across the Orchard Road and in the Central Business District, and in premium shopping malls namely ION Orchard, Funan, Raffles City, and Jewel, as well as Changi Airport by 2021.

At the same time, it is providing a promising new source of revenue for the wider Gojek business, ensuring that our entire ecosystem thrives together,” De Carbonnel added.
