Using mobile + DOOH to reach audiences at the right place and time
Matterkind and UM used programmatic buying to reach urban audiences within the age group 25-40 years old, in the Netherlands, UK and Germany. Using mobile data to be smarter in when and where to run campaigns made reaching these audiences more efficient and reduced the amount of waste. Moreover DOOH and mobile were ideal in cost efficiently driving awareness for this message, particularly during lockdown conditions where footfall was lower and less predictable.
They ran this campaign across major media owners and DOOH screens, retargeting these audiences via mobile advertising to create an additional contact on mobile devices. Using the same times and locations to reach the right audience.

Vincent Boot Media Consultant UM: “DOOH is ideal in reaching the urban audiences that we were looking for in this campaign. Using programmatic tools to reduce waste and only target the right times and places was instrumental in creating relevancy and cost-efficiently driving awareness for the campaign.”

Sander Kraan manager addressable Matterkind: “The Sage + Archer platform created a solution to buy DOOH & Mobile inventory together in 3 European markets via one platform. This gave Matterkind and Flower Council the opportunity to buy at multiple media owners without a lot of the hassle you would normally have and optimize between countries and publishers to ensure the best results. Using mobile data to be smarter in when and where Flower Council wanted visibility and reach the target audience. This resulted in a campaign that was more efficient and reduced the amount of waste.“
