Havas Media Group drives full speed into the future of programmatic advertising with the launch of its latest campaign for Puma in partnership with Firefly, the company leveraging taxi and rideshare vehicles to build a smart city media network. Using Firefly’s geotargeting technology, Havas Media will serve hyper-relevant content around the grand opening of PUMA’s retail store on Fifth Avenue in New York. This activation, the first and only optimized for ‘out-of-home in-motion,’ runs through September 2. The campaign and media deal was facilitated by Whisk Agency.Optimized for ‘in-motion,’ the campaign geo-targets consumers across different locations and times of day, delivering memorable, high-impact motion graphic content promoting the new stores address. Taxis will deliver this message to high-traffic areas including major airports, tourist attractions, athletic fields, and existing store zip codes. A first for Puma, this campaign expands out-of-home (OOH) beyond fixed ads and insights, with its situationally aware digital smart screens determining campaign direction and ad frequency based on driver routes, area demographics, and traffic patterns. The internet-connected technology that enables Firefly to serve timely location-based messaging affords advertisers robust data sets. With digital ad spend projected to reach over $129.34 billion in 2019, this latest innovation bridges the gap between digital advertising and traditional OOH to drive unprecedented scale in programmatic buying. Along with more precise placement abilities and enhanced visual content, these optimized metrics allow Havas Media to drive consumer engagement and increase campaign performance for Puma.CreditsHavas Media GroupPumaFirefly
