Janovic
Janovic is a New York-based paint and decorating store which utilized OOH for the first time in 2019. Prior marketing efforts had focused primarily on B2B, but they wanted to shift their focus and marketing strategy to the direct consumer. Janovic’s campaign objectives were to drive brand awareness and generate foot traffic to their nine store locations in Manhattan by reaching homeowners and individuals who were interested in home renovations.
Data analytics were used to identify highest indexing audiences in Manhattan, overlaid against the neighborhoods where the stores were located. Geopath OOH ratings were used to educate the client on campaign impressions, reach and frequency delivery. The campaign was supplemented with geofencing to deliver mobile media messages to the audience exposed to the OOH ads.
The flight was from 5/6 – 6/30 and 9/2 – 10/27 and ran on digital bus shelters utilizing slow-motion animation. By using data to create custom audience segments, Janovic was able to reach their target audience in neighborhoods near their stores.
To evaluate the OOH campaign effectiveness, a foot traffic study was deployed that leveraged both exposed and non-exposed audiences along with pre-campaign and in-campaign measurement.
The campaign produced strong results for Janovic, generating a foot traffic visit rate increase of 35 percent. The mobile geofencing extension resulted in over 2,000 additional website visitations as a result of the interactions with the mobile ads.
