Viola Communications, a communications firm in Abu Dhabi, is introducing a digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising platform offering a new and dynamic option for concerns wanting to roll out marketing campaigns. 

 

Transformation will be happening through phases and completed within the next two years however, selected locations will be activated and ready to advertise on by Q3 2022.

 

Viola Communications enjoys exclusive rights to the majority of outdoor advertising spaces in Abu Dhabi, including lampposts, bridge banners and bus wrapping. Under its digitalisation plan, the company will introduce, over a phased approach, its DOOH platform which includes Digital Totems, Digital Bridge Banners as well as other digital outdoor public notices, while the current traditional ‘out-of-home’ (OOH) network is to be strategically relocated to create more targeted circuits across the emirate.

 

The move offers brands greater choice in creative executions of their marketing campaigns. DOOH advertising is quicker and easier to implement, and can be adjusted remotely and through automation, allowing convenient creative swaps and adaptation. 

 

Digital advertising offers hypertargeting, as well as reporting on impression-level data by placement within a geographic area. The new media means will also be utilised for quick government announcements and will engage pedestrians in key locations.

 

Ammar Sharaf, Chief Executive Officer of Viola Communications, said: “Viola is already a leader in the UAE for advertising and outdoor media, having grown organically in tandem with the city since 2001. Viola is privileged to be introducing the new digital out-of-home platforms, providing our existing and new clients with highly visible, creative and, more importantly, quantifiable avenues for their campaigns and upgrading the industry in line with the country’s lead in digital evolution. This is an exciting way to reach out to consumers with the ultimate in creative impact as we transform the advertising cityscape with real-time marketing opportunities.
