Institut Esthederm, whose professional cosmetic treatments are primarily aimed at preserving the youthfulness of the skin, relied on IGPDecaux's Out Of Home advertising solution in synergy with Locala's Street to Store to launch the Age-Proteom Innovation: a mix of outdoor and digital communication whose end result proved to be far greater than the sum of the individual components.
The set-up of the OOH+Mobile campaign was based on the specific communication needs of Institut Esthederm and had as its main objectives the generation of brand awareness and the drive to store towards the points of sale (pharmacies, beauty salons and hairdressers) where Age Proteom is distributed.
With reference to the OOH campaign, thanks to Adsquare Planner, IGPDecaux built a customised network of 200 spaces in Milan, garrisoning both areas frequented by Beauty&Wellness Enthusiasts, Cosmetics&Wellness app users, and areas in the vicinity of points of sale.
In addition, Locala delivered 470,000 impressions to users passing by the OOH facilities or in the vicinity of selected retailers. The call-to-action of the in-app banner was clear and engaging: it invited users to click to find out where to pick up the brand's mini-branded product. The simple click, in fact, landed the user on an interactive map, guiding them to the nearest retailer relative to their location in real time.
The results of the campaign were considerable: the custom OOH network generated 36 mln contacts and a Reach on residents of the City of Milan of 93%. The mobile campaign, on the other hand, recorded a visit rate of 0.2% on users exposed to mobile media only, 0.3% on users exposed to OOH media only, and a rate of 1.5% when analysing the visit rate of users exposed to both OOH and Mobile.
This is proof that the two media worked extremely synergistically, generating 4.5x the visit result that would have been achieved by planning OOH alone and 6.2x that achieved with mobile alone.
It should be added, moreover, that the OOH spaces with the highest demand for mobile impressions were also those that had shown a high target affinity index in Adsquare Planner, demonstrating the effectiveness of the analyses made in the planning phase.
