JCDecaux is expanding its airport portfolio after winning Adelaide (AAL) and Parafield Airports following a competitive tender.
The out-of-home media company has been appointed exclusive advertising partner for all in-terminal and roadside opportunities across both airport precincts.
Steve O’Connor, CEO of JCDecaux, said: “JCDecaux has many long-term relationships with airports across Australia and New Zealand, as well as across the world.
“Securing the in-terminal and on-airport assets at Adelaide Airport, expands on our roadside billboard portfolio that we have held with AAL for many years. This win uniquely positions JCDecaux to deliver a seamless customer experience throughout Adelaide Airport connecting with travelers at every touchpoint of their airport terminal journey.
“Joining our ANZ AIRPORT portfolio including Perth, Sydney, Auckland, Christchurch and Queenstown, JCDecaux AIRPORT provides an unrivalled airport advertising network that can offer national and trans-Tasman solutions to advertisers.”
Brenton Cox, Adelaide Airport managing director, said: “We’re excited to team up with JCDecaux as our airport precincts continue to grow in terms of both passenger numbers and on-airport business development.
“Both Adelaide and Parafield airports sit in prime locations, offering excellent brand connectivity with advertisers’ key markets, while our recently expanded domestic and international terminal offers prime space to reach domestic and international audiences.”
The deal includes a full refresh of the assets in the terminal and three new Digital Large Format external billboards.
Programmatic trading will be enabled through VIOOH, the leading global digital out-of-home marketplace.
Brands will be able to reach new and relevant audience segments, which can be qualified and quantified with JCDecaux’s proprietary Airport Audience Measurement system, AAM. Developed by JCDecaux’s global data division, AAM is the first international audience measurement system for the airport industry offering advertisers and agencies a standard metric throughout the world.
Renowned for its innovative, quality airport presence, JCDecaux is the number one airport advertising company globally, representing 154 airports worldwide.
The new contract commences in May 2023. This tender win comes off the back of JCDecaux’s recent competitive tender win for Perth Airport earlier this year.
