Wideopen Platform, a Primedia
Unlimited subsidiary, was recently employed by Mini to execute
a continual travelator branding campaign at Johannesburg International’s
domestic departure terminal. The noteworthy advertising gave
Mini a unique opportunity to effectively reach upper LSM tourists
and business people in one of the country’s highest traffic
areas over a four-month period.
Wideopen Platform specialises in high impact outdoor advertising
that harnesses the opportunities offered by existing urban structures.
The company has had a particular impact at the country’s
airports, developing a range of unique advertising platforms
geared towards big brand exposure.
Positioned as an innovative, edgy, and cheeky brand, Mini was
the first to take advantage of Wideopen Platform’s strategic
travelator advertising. The savvy creative by King James Johannesburg
worked extremely well in the almost 1km of uninterrupted branding
at Johannesburg International Airport, pushing the boundaries
of the out of home environment. The Mini travelator campaign
was fused with print and traditional outdoor.

“Travelator advertising
entertains passengers, brightens a normally dull environment
and provides advertisers with a flexible, highly visible and
cost effective medium. This method of advertising effectively
reinforces the brand and product, while notably enhancing the
elegance and mood of South Africa’s major transit points,”
says Caryn Cohen Chief Executive Officer of Wideopen Platform.
