Planning Tool Box

Today’s marketers demand greater insight and accountability from the outdoor industry. In addition to syndicated industry research such as MOVE, APN Outdoor has invested heavily in a suite of planning tools which make buying outdoor easier.

Logo of Compass

Compass is a proprietary planning tool developed in conjunction with Point Logic in the Netherlands. Compass has been custom built for the Australian outdoor market. At its heart is a simple, 3 step process:

  1. Information about the client’s business objectives are fed into the Compass communications brief. Screenshot of Compass application
  2. Compass weights the key tasks for the outdoor campaign (eg. Awareness, Preference, Action, etc.). Screenshot of Compass application
  3. Compass identifies which combination of outdoor formats will deliver the most effective and cost efficient result. Screenshot of Compass application

Profiler

Advertising research studies show that reaching consumers close to the point of purchase can have a greater impact on sales. That’s why Profiler, APN Outdoor’s proximity planning tool, is so valuable. It contains 25,000 records about retail destinations including supermarkets, banks, hardware, fast food and liquor outlets. So when planning your next Roadside billboard campaign, enlist Profiler to help get your message closer to the point of sale.

My Life

My Life is a sophisticated geomapping system which allows us to connect our client’s message with specific demographics, buyergraphics and other niche segments. For example, we can target consumers who purchase luxury goods, or travel on overseas holidays. This data is fused with our Roadside billboard inventory to create an effective outdoor media schedule.

  • Computers and accessories

    To illustrate, we can show heavy users of computers and accessories in relation to Harvey Norman and Officeworks stores, within close proximity to our Roadside billboards.

Please contact your APN Outdoor representative if you’d like to talk through a specific brief.
