Out-of-home into paid social

A retail launch across two markets

A brand opening in two cities at once, with a fixed launch date, a single creative platform and no existing audience in either market.

Illustrative approach — not a named engagement

The approach

  1. 01

    Buy the approach roads first

    Large format on the arterials feeding each new location, booked to go live two weeks before opening rather than on the day. Awareness needs a run-up; a billboard that appears the morning you open has no time to work.

  2. 02

    Ring the catchment with street furniture

    Bus shelters and street furniture inside a tight radius of each store, chosen for repetition against the same commuter rather than for raw reach.

  3. 03

    Mirror the outdoor creative in social

    The same platform, reshot vertically. Geo-fenced to the catchment so the feed is reinforcing a panel the person has already walked past, not introducing the brand cold.

  4. 04

    Point everything at a page built for it

    One landing page per city with the address, hours and directions above the fold — not a homepage that makes the visitor hunt.

What gets measured

  • Proof-of-posting for every outdoor site
  • Reach and frequency by format, per city
  • Landing-page sessions and direction requests, split by city
  • Cost per store visit where footfall data is available
