Digital Screen Seminar 2007

Royal Aeronautical Society, 4 Hamilton Place, London, W1J 7BQ

Tuesday 20th November 2007

Brought to you by IPA Outdoor and the OAA Digital Outdoor Media Group

We now spend more time out of home than we do in-home awake and this environment is experiencing an advertising sea-change. Digital technology has catapulted outdoor to a medium that can rival any for dynamic imagery and immediacy. Daypart targeting, interaction and remote copy delivery are now realities and when Heathrow’s Terminal 5 opens on March 27th, 200 screens will be switched on in one day.

What do these cultural changes and technological advances mean for strategists, creatives and clients? Chaired by Allan Rich, 2007’s annual IPA/OAA Digital Outdoor event aimed to find out.

Tim Bleakley, Managing Director, CBS Outdoor
