Our public video review 2024

Moving images bring emotion, moving images make a brand - so it's no wonder that moving images are a must for advertisers. Our DOOH network - known as Public Video (PV) at Ströer - is an effective addition to the moving image mix. With Public Video, every campaign can be made available at short notice, with a high reach, targeted and dynamic - either as a nationwide reach booster or selectively for targeted communication - as our short Public Video campaign review shows.

Premiere: Telekom shows all UEFA EURO 2024™ goals via Ströer's public video screens in Germany

Together with Ströer, Telekom brought the EURO to where people are - outside and on the move. All the goals of the major soccer tournament were shown almost in real time throughout Germany. Over 5,500 digital public video screens from Ströer showed the goal highlights at train stations, in shopping centers and on underground and suburban train platforms in almost all major German cities. Artificial intelligence (AI) played an important role in this: the 20-second goal clips were compiled with the help of AI. On the one hand, the AI selected the most relevant scenes and adjusted the length. Secondly, it identified the necessary formats for the different displays and automatically adjusted the important image sections.

The “EURO 2024 AI Goal Alert: Instant Updates for Fans!” received the prestigious SmartiesAward from MMA Germany in the “Innovative Use of AI In Advertising” category in December 2024.

Otto celebrates anniversary in 3D

To mark its 75th birthday, OTTO launched the limited-edition OTTO x adidas sneaker and celebrated it with a campaign entitled “OTTO - the shoe”. In addition, OTTO hosted a pop-up store in downtown Hamburg from September 27 to 29. In the store in the Europapassage, customers were able to try on and buy the limited edition OTTO x adidas sneaker and meet Otto Waalkes.

With Ströer's Public Video City Towers, OTTO had plenty of creative space to implement the campaign, and the advertising material could also be targeted regionally in Hamburg city center and generate relevant reach in the week before the pop-up store opened.

The agency c/o Setzkorn Kemper GmbH created a strong staging and staged the limited-edition sneaker in three dimensions. Users were also able to try on the sneaker digitally with their own Snapchat lens.

REWE stages lettuce, carrots & more for regional communication

As part of its regionality campaign, REWE focused on eye-catching forms of advertising. 

How do carrots, beet, potatoes or leeks actually grow in the fields of regional producers until the products end up freshly harvested in REWE stores? Since not everyone has the opportunity to dig in a field, REWE showed what it looks like underground at highly frequented locations. And underground was taken literally for the campaign. 

For example, anyone entering the main exit to the Stachus subway station in Munich between July 16 and 31 was almost walking into an underground field, as they were accompanied by potatoes, carrots, leeks and beet. On a giant public video screen, one could see how the vegetables grow underground and are ultimately harvested. The DOOH spot was complemented by an additional film in the subway station, drawing attention to REWE's current regional communication. After all, who else can look underground? Similar eye-catching campaigns ran in the Konstablerwache station in Frankfurt am Main and in Berlin's Friedrichstraße station.

Danone: Great (D)OOH variety, great reach, great impact

In the summer of 2024, Germany hosted the UEFA European Football Championship. Millions of fans were there to watch the matches in the ten European Championship stadiums and share in the excitement at fan festivals throughout Germany. With Ströer, advertisers were right in the middle of this unique event in Germany. Ströer's out-of-home and public video (DOOH) networks ensured maximum visibility around the stadiums and fan zones, at airports and train stations, on public transport and in city centers. 

The food company Danone pushed the Volvic brand during the 2024 European Football Championship with an effective mix of analog and digital OOH media from Ströer. The so-called “EM Audience Package” enabled Danone to cover the ten European Championship host cities with optimal advertising pressure over the entire campaign period of two weeks. The (D)OOH campaign was booked entirely via an audience-based approach - i.e. via the total number of contacts to be reached and not the individual media locations. The campaign for the soft drinks Volvic Touch and Volvic Tea reached 500 million advertising contacts during its term and had a lasting effect, as an accompanying measurement of advertising success showed.
