Economic Review 2013
The Office of National Statistics (ONS) has confirmed that the UK’s economy grew by 0.3% in the first
quarter of 2013. This was met with more positive news- there was no double-dip recession last year, as
figures for Q1 2012 were revised to show that growth was flat, up from an earlier estimate of a 0.1% contraction.
The forecasts for the UK economy in 2013 have been collated by HM Treasury and the average GDP
growth figure has increased by 0.1% (from May’s figure) to an estimated 0.9% growth. Equally, the
forecast for next year has also been revised upwards to 1.6%.
Across the globe, there is a clear ‘two-speed recovery’ between the emerging markets and the advanced
economies. Growth in emerging markets and developing economies is forecast to reach 5.3% in 2013
and 5.7% in 2014. Growth in the United States is forecast to be 1.9% in 2013 and 3.0% in 2014.
In contrast, growth in the Euro area is forecast to be –0.3% in 2013 and 1.1% in 2014.
Overall world output growth is forecast to reach 3.25% in 2013 and 4% in 2014. In advanced
economies, activity is expected to gradually accelerate, starting in the second half of 2013.

Advertising Review
(IPA Bellwether July 2013)
Marketing budgets in the UK were revised to be much higher during the second quarter of 2013 as
companies sought to take advantage of improving economic conditions by supporting sales efforts and
new product launches. With 22% of companies indicating an upward revision to their marketing budgets
during the latest survey period, compared to 15% that indicated trimming, the resulting net balance of
+7% was the highest since Q3 2007.
The marked upward revision to total marketing budgets in Q2 was accompanied by growing confidence
amongst companies with regard to their financial prospects. Latest data showed that 43% of the
survey panel had grown more confident when compared to the situation in Q1, with 16% becoming
more pessimistic. The resulting net balance of +28% was a sharp improvement on Q1’s +16.8% and
suggested companies were at their most upbeat regarding company financial prospects since Q3 2009.
The third successive quarterly upward revision to marketing budgets, alongside a marked strengthening
of business confidence, adds to evidence of an improving UK economic climate heading into the second
half of 2013. Business surveys have already signalled GDP growth strengthening in Q2, with the
economy set to expand at a quarterly rate of 0.5%. This will bolster hopes that 2013 will prove to be a
much better year for economic growth than expected, and lead to further upward revisions to marketing
budgets as the year progresses.
This trend was reflected in Q2 2013 when Out-of-Home revenues increased to £243.1 million, up 5.9%
year on year (Outdoor Media Centre). Of this digital revenues reached £52.3 million, up 37% year on
year and with digital now accounting for 21.5% of all Out-of-Home spend.

Posterscope launched the 5th
edition of its Out-of-Home Consumer Survey (OCS) in March 2013 which
included new questions on many up-to-date topics.
Airport Flights & Shopping
New questions were added regarding airports, particularly around flight class, to help segment business
and C-Suite audiences who travel by premium economy, business and 1st
class. Similarly, new questions
provide great insight on retail in airport terminals by product category and frequency which compliments the
recent “Power of Influence” research by JCDecaux Airport mentioned later in this document.
For more information about Posterscope’s international offering around airports please visit PSI’s website at
www.psiad.com
Experiential/Promotional Events
Experiential is an ever growing Out-of-Home opportunity particularly now as significant earned media and
PR can be gained from this online. So in this OCS survey we asked consumers several new questions
about such promotional/experiential events. These included which locations consumers felt were good
for this, their attitudes towards experiential events and getting involved/sharing, as well as what makes
consumers notice such events and would induce purchases.

Due to the recession, consumers have become increasingly savvy about their purchases and many are more
dedicated about researching their purchases to make sure they get the best deals. Others however, are still very
impulsive and tempted to spend when they see something they like.
Posterscope have therefore created a “shopper segmentation” based on 34 attitudinal statements on consumers’
shopping and lifestyle habits. We identified 4 distinct audiences that can now be used to plan Out-of-Home more
efficiently. So if you are looking to target those susceptible to purchasing on impulse at the last minute then
you could identify “Tempted Spenders” within your target audience and see what Out-of-Home they notice and
respond to.
Similarly, if the role of Out-of-Home is to drive consumers online to look for information on a more considered
purchase then you could potentially look at understanding the Out-of-Home behaviour and preferences of the
“Dedicated Budgeters” within your target audience.

Planned vs Impulse Purchasing
OCS5 tells us which products are bought on impulse and what triggers such spontaneous purchases
OCS5 asks consumers what product categories they plan to purchase and which they buy more on impulse.
It then delves deeper into the impulse purchase triggers for each product category giving us a greater
understanding of the decision making process across a wide range of categories.
So for example, “Pay Day” is a key trigger for impulse purchases particularly in the categories of fashion and
entertainment. Mood is more important for impulse purchases for confectionery/snacks, whilst peer pressure/
recommendations play a key role in impulse decisions when going to the cinema/theatre.
This new OCS insight can also help planners be more defined with their target audiences for any given brief.
So for example a confectionery brief might wish to target 15-34 year olds who buy confectionery as a pick-me-up.
So using the new OCS insight we can be far more defined when creating our target audiences to plan by
e.g. “15-34, regular confectionery purchasers, who purchase confectionery on impulse and their mood is a key
driver of this impulse purchase”.

The explosion in social media usage over recent years has itself yielded a parallel upsurge in data. ‘Big data’ is the
latest phenomenon to influence how agencies strategise their media activity as the vast amount of information
provides valuable consumer insights. At Posterscope, we are mining these data sources to create accurate and
real-time evaluations about the demographics, geographies and attitudes of our clients’ consumers in order to
plan campaigns in a more efficient and intelligent manner.
Sysomos gives Posterscope the ability to analyse and understand all social media conversations. It delivers insight
and intelligence around Twitter, news articles and Facebook. It is predominately used for producing geographic,
demographic and popularity ratings for tweets and we use it to understand the digital footprint of our clients’
Out-of-Home campaigns. The below examples show how Sysomos is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of
Out-of-Home in creating talkability on social media sites.
adidas: #takethestage
During the London Olympics, adidas ran a campaign named ‘Take the Stage’. Initially 43% of tweets using this
hashtag were in London, but when adidas ran a London only Out-of-Home campaign for a week the proportion of
tweets in London increased to 70% providing quantitative evidence of Out-of-Home activity influencing social media.

Fanta: “Peach & Apricot”: NPD Launch
In March and April 2013, Fanta ran Out-of-Home activity (Bus T-Sides and 6 sheets) to promote its new
‘Peach & Apricot’ flavour. As a NPD, talkability and word of mouth were important to its success. Utilising
Sysomos to analyse mentions of ‘Fanta’ AND ‘peach’ or ‘apricot’, we identified how the Out-of-Home activity
coincided exactly with Twitter conversations - proving Out-of-Home’s effectiveness at driving word of mouth.

Vanilla Coke Re-launch
In April 2013, Coca-Cola also ran Out-of-Home activity on Bus T-Sides to promote the re-launch of Vanilla Coke.
As a re-launch, talkability and word of mouth were very important to the success of the campaign.
Utilising Sysomos to analyse mentions of ‘Vanilla Coke’, we identified how the Out-of-Home activity generated
thousands of Twitter conversations - proving Out-of-Home’s effectiveness at driving talkability.

Beck’s Vier mobile interaction campaign
Campaign Details
Posterscope, Admedia and Vizeum ran a mobile interactive campaign for Beck’s Vier late in 2012.
The campaign was designed to offer bar, pub and club visitors the chance to download free music tracks
via QR codes, NFC or mobile search whilst also championing the Beck’s Vier strategy in supporting up
and coming artists. The campaign featured on A3 washroom panels and branded beermats throughout
over 500 Admedia socialising venues in London, Manchester, Leeds & Newcastle.
The A3 washroom posters and branded beermats used QR & NFC technology provided by Admedia’s
‘Connections’ brand and a search option provided by Inbev. The NFC/QR code technology included full
response tracking and linked directly to a Becks Vier microsite that offered consumers the chance to
choose one of three tracks - including a song by now chart topper - Bastille. Every A3 poster was NFC
enabled, along with a media first of 25,000 NFC beermats. The NFC beermats were distributed around
East London bars and pubs, an area identified as having a high concentration of the target audience.
The campaign was accompanied by an awareness and interaction research study designed to delve
deeper into the response habits of consumers who interacted and to gain insight into how best to
incorporate technology into future Out-of-Home campaigns.

Campaign Interactions
The campaign achieved over 5,100 interactions in total and resulted in the highest proportion of NFC
responses in the Out-of-Home market so far, with 46% of consumers using this method to respond.
NFC was also rated as the favourite/most-preferred response method for speed, convenience and ease
of use. The campaign achieved a fantastic 25% conversion rate in consumers going on to download the track.
Analysing Mobile Interactions by Time/Day of Week
Mobile interactions were also analysed by day of week and time of day which delivered interesting
insights for future Out-of-Home planning. As expected interactions increased throughout the week
peaking on a Saturday, however Sundays also achieved a very high level of response demonstrating this
is a day when families and friends are relaxing in the pub environment.
Similarly, as expected, over half (53%) of interactions took place in the evening but a surprisingly high
proportion (28%) were performed by the lunchtime market. Such insight could create opportunities for
time specific messaging on microsites.

Mobile Interaction Effect on Brand Metrics
Consumer research also told us that by including innovative technology and a great offer within the
campaign, there was a more positive response to the Beck’s Vier brand as a result. The campaign
increased Beck’s Vier’s overall brand equity by 17% pts, but performed particularly well in the important
areas of “helping me discover new music”, “a brand into art and music” as well as “innovative”,
“trendsetting” and “progressive” equity measures.
Mobile interaction also led to increased purchase propensity with 51% consumers saying it would
make them more likely to purchase a Becks Vier in a pub/bar (on trade) as well as 32% more likely to
purchase it in a supermarket/off license (off trade).
Overall this campaign really proves that combining new technology, a great brand, and the right
environment will lead to an extremely positive brand experience.

Mobile Search Moments
Posterscope’s OCS 5 survey showed that 73% of smartphone users search in the Out-of-Home
environment. Posterscope was therefore very interested to read that in March 2013, Google released
their Mobile Search Moments research in conjunction with Nielsen. The research was split into a mobile
search diary, a follow-up survey and a final interview. Respondents were invited to log any type of mobile
search and asked the outcomes of search via online questions. The results showed how, where, when
and why respondents searched and the purchasing habits which followed. Below is a summary of the key
findings from an Out-of-Home perspective;
Mobile Search Trigger:
• 34% of advertising induced mobile searches are triggered by Out-of-Home
• People search on mobiles due to speed, convenience and to make immediate decisions
Mobile Search Behaviour:
• Most mobile searches take place in the late afternoon and evening- perfect for targeting consumers’
commute home and influencing their evening activities
• The biggest search categories when Out-of-Home are restaurants, shopping and travel
• A fifth of all mobile searches take place only in the Out-of-Home environment
Mobile Search Outcomes and Actions:
• People who conduct mobile searches to help make a decision are 51% more likely to end up making a purchase
• The beauty category has the highest average number of outcomes per search (3.6)
• 84% of follow-up actions triggered by mobile search occur within 5 hours

The Mobile Retail Audit looks at the top 50 UK retailers, and takes an in-depth look at their current uptake of mobile.
The data collection process took place over a one month period, between 6th
May and 7th
June, and investigated
a number of top line measures to assess the mobile readiness of the retailers. This is a retailer survey rather
than a consumer survey.
Key Take-outs:
• 95% of smartphone users have researched a product or service on their phone
• Nearly a third of UK page views are from mobiles and tablets
• 74% of the top 50 retailers have mobile optimised sites
• 19% of these mobile optimised sites are not transactional
• 48% have a GPS store locator on their mobile site – Out-of-Home can act as a prompt to encourage
consumers to find their nearest store!
• 8% of the top 50 retailers optimise their search for mobile
• 62% of the top 50 retailers have a mobile app
• 48% of these apps are transactional
• 18% of the top 50 UK retailers are using ad extensions (Figures 1 & 2 below)
• 14% of top 50 UK retailers use in-store Wi-Fi, 12% use contactless payment
It demonstrates that the top retailers are trying to keep up with consumer behaviour. As the penetration and
usage of smartphones continues to increase, the use of mobile internet shopping and browsing will rise in
tandem. With the growth of mobile apps and mobile optimised sites, the opportunity for Out-of-Home to engage
directly with these consumers through technology becomes ever more apparent. Out-of-Home can trigger online
smartphone actions which could lead to a sale, enquiry or store visit and mobile ad extensions make responding
even easier.

Researching Peugeot Euston Motion campaign using
mobile geo-fencing
Peugeot launched their new Peugeot RCZ model in March 2013. As part of the launch, Peugeot utilised
“Euston Motion”, which is comprised of nine full-motion, interlinked digital screens that surround consumers on
three sides of the Euston Station concourse.
Research agency, Research Now, sent a mobile questionnaire to the test group’s smartphones when they
entered the “geo-fenced” area around Euston station. All the test group were required to have used Euston
station at least three times a week, whilst the control group must have used another London termini station at
least three times a week (but not Euston).
The results speak for themselves in that the test group’s scores across all brand metrics were significantly
higher than the control group’s as summarised in the table below:

Clear Channel: Ngen 18-34 online community
Dixons Store Group and Channel Five are among the brand partners for Clear Channel’s new audience insight
community Ngen.
The Ngen community allows Clear Channel and their brand partners to participate in a hosted, two-way dialogue
with 400 engaged and connected 18-34 year olds from eight major UK cities. The community will cover a wide
range of topics close to the hearts of its participants, creating great insight for this influential audience.
Ngen participants are from a tech-savvy generation who are used to documenting their lives through social
media and are happy to interact online. Ngen builds on the community’s familiarity with social media to gain a
deep insight into who they are, where they go and what they think about the latest hot topics.
Run in collaboration with Crowd DNA & Trajectory Partnership, Ngen runs for an initial 18 weeks, alongside
two waves of quantitative online research in the summer and autumn of 2013. A dedicated website which
can be accessed by Clear Channel and their partners will house insights gained from the research including
photography, video, quotes, survey results, analysis and third party literature.
A full report will be released in early 2014 capturing all aspects of the project.

Primesight research identifies that Out-of-Home
advertising affects all five stages of brain reaction
Primesight recently worked with psychologists from University College London to identify how brain reaction
is affected by Out-of-Home. Drawing on work from nine academic studies they established factors which can
trigger influence and identified that Out-of-Home advertising affects all five stages of brain reaction - ‘arousal’,
‘attention’, ‘memory’, ‘attitude’, and ‘behaviour’.
In particular the study demonstrated the importance of size, novelty and colour to trigger the ‘arousal’ stage and
then later the importance of frequency that helps drive memory, familiarity, trust and ultimately brand preference.

Neuroscience identifies the ‘wow’ factor involved in
large format Out-of-Home
In May 2013 Ocean Outdoor released the results of their neuroscience study into the effectiveness of
large format Out-of-Home and in particular digital and spectacular Out-of-Home sites. The study was
implemented by research agency Neuro-Insight.
Neuro-Insight recruited 115 respondents who went on a bus ride around West London where they were
exposed to a number of different Out-of-Home advertising sites. They then went back to a research
location where they watched films of their journey which again featured various Out-of-Home posters.
Data was collected from a number of areas of the brain using neuroscience equipment and the
metrics used for the analysis reflected responses likely to be important in measuring the response to
and effectiveness of Out-of-Home advertising: these were the four major metrics of “visual attention”,
“emotional intensity”, “desirability” and “long-term memory encoding”. In summary, all Out-of-Home
advertising sites performed strongly across the four metrics measured but especially digital sites,
particularly those that involved an element of movement. Neuro-Insight explained how our brains are
primed to respond to changes in our immediate environment and as such, moving screens attract
stronger responses.
Premium outdoor sites also generated stronger and more positive emotions, particularly due to a ‘wow’
factor, and as such led to enhanced memory encoding. The research also proved that the response
strength to iconic sites is driven by the sites themselves, not just by the creative and content featured.
Iconic and digital sites also continue to have an impact beyond the initial viewing of them in priming the
brain to respond more positively to subsequent executions from the same advertising campaign, even
when these are carried out on more standard poster formats.

‘The Power of Influence’ airport research
Influentials are described as early adopters, trendsetters, ‘socially connected’ and are arguably the most
important consumer group for any category or industry. In 2013, JCDecaux Airport completed a research
project proving that possibly the highest concentration of influentials can be found at airports when
compared against other media channels.
The first part of the research conducted by Work Research & Bournemouth University was a review of the
current global thinking on the subject of influence in relation to advertising. This research revealed a model
that explains how influence works, known as the PID model: Persuasion, Identification, Diffusion.
Back to Contents page
PERSUASION IDENTIFICATION DIFFUSION
AN INDIVIDUAL EXPERIENCE INDIVIDUAL’S INFLUENCE ON OTHERS
PERSUASIVE COMMUNICATION
MOTIVATED TO PROCESS?
ABILITY TO PROCESS?
BEHAVIOUR SHIFT?
POSITIVE/NEGATIVE ATTITUDE CHANGE
EXTERNAL FACTORS CHANGE?
RETAIN INITIAL ATTITUDE
INFLUENTIAL?
RETAIN INFORMATION
The PID model summarises the process through which people are exposed to a
PERSUASIVE piece of communication and tracks whether they then IDENTIFY
with it and are sufficiently motivated to see themselves using a product or service.
Once persuaded, some of these individuals i.e. the influentials, will then go on to
DIFFUSE the message to others within their peer group.
21. POSTERSCOPE MEDIA DIGEST - 2013 21
The second stage of the project was conducted by research agency Populus.
Populus then completed a quantitative study of 250 “Engaged Britons” who had used one of JCDecaux’s
airports or international rail stations in the previous six months. This demonstrated how they were early
adopters, very social, media savvy and craved advertising that is informative and relevant. Once influenced,
these individuals will then propagate the message throughout the rest of the consumer base, amplifying the
effect of advertising through the most persuasive medium of all – word of mouth.

AIRPORT has
HIGHEST CONCENTRATION
vs any other media
Populus had identified a group “Engaged Britons”, who make up 10% of the GB
population, as being influentials who lead and shape opinions.
And when analysing the media usage of this valuable audience, they found that the
highest concentration of “Engaged Britons” can be found at airports when compared
against any other media channel.
22. POSTERSCOPE MEDIA DIGEST - 2013 22
In April 2013, CBS Outdoor demonstrated their understanding of London through a conference at City Hall in
association with MediaTel.
This understanding has been built on 20 years of partnership with many of London’s key franchise organisations,
including TFL, LU and Westfield, as well as recent insight tools such as “The London Worker Planning Tool” and
the 10,000 strong urban panel of Work.Shop.Play.
The conference highlighted many impressive statistics around the importance of London and its audience in
areas such as…
• London’s contribution to Britain and the world both economically, socially and creatively
• The increasingly important value of the Londoner
• The importance of public transport to London and reaching its valuable audience

CBS have also recently created a ‘Media Wall’ which tells this London story and details many of these
impressive facts. So if you would like to see this and debate whether your brands are allocating enough
budget to London and utilising the Out-of-Home opportunities that the capital currently offers and
opportunities for the future, then please get in touch with your usual Posterscope contact or Russell Smither
at Russell.Smither@posterscope.com or Neil Pummell at Neil.Pummell@cbsoutdoor.co.uk
