OOH – I’m Lovin’ It
geekOUT Fast Facts Friday
It’s safe to say McDonald’s utilizes OOH in some of the best ways possible. Great eye-catching visuals and creative campaigns make sure passersbys take note of the fast food chain’s advertisements. This shouldn’t be news to anyone, yet they once again made headlines last month with a very subtle, but effective campaign that had people thinking (and looking) twice.
Had to do a double take after seeing this Ad? We did too. An eye-catching and creative use of OOH, to say the least.
McDonald’s continues to be a heavy advocate of OOH. Based on national data pulled from Kantar, they lead the QSR industry in OOH advertising spend.
The top OOH spenders nationally in the QSR industry were as follows, respectively:
- McDonald’s Restaurant
- Subway Restaurant
- Chick-Fila-A Restaurant
- Jersey Mikes Sub Shop
- Panera Bread Bakery Café
In fact, over the past two years, McDonald’s has invested more in OOH than the other top 4 QSR advertisers combined!
These OOH advertising dollars seem to be working. According to Simmons, almost 3 in 4 of those who have visited a McDonald’s in the past 30 days have noticed an OOH advertisement over this same period – 6% more likely to than the total population (74%, Index 106)!
