The L’Oreal YSL campaign was the best example of this, engaging audiences in high traffic, contextual shopping destinations, and also incorporating a targeted experiential activation to complement their broader brand messaging.”

Best Use of Digital Joint Winner

It is great to see brands thinking creatively about message combined with placement and getting the most out of Out of Home environments.”
