Amsterdam Airport Schiphol has launched programmatic advertising across its digital screen network, following successful implementations at Eindhoven and Rotterdam The Hague Airports.

Schiphol manages its media channels in-house, leveraging its data platform to optimise advertising effectiveness. The airport partnered with LDSK, a leading provider of intelligent media scheduling solutions, to enable programmatic access to specific audiences and demographics.

This initiative provides advertisers with enhanced targeting and flexibility, moving beyond traditional ad-week structures.

The platform allows for precise audience segmentation and CPM-based buying, enabling advertisers to purchase specific time slots and align campaigns with real-time airport activity. This data-driven approach offers greater budget control and improved ROI compared to traditional methods.

Djeremy Hoebee, Digital Lead, Royal Schiphol Group told us “This is an important step for us towards the future of advertising at Schiphol. It empowers us to allow brands to easily connect with Schiphol and our passengers in a dynamic and measurable way. It allows for more flexibility and the opportunity to leverage our data for more effective and relevant campaigns”.

Advertisers and agencies can contact Djeremy Hoebee (Digital Lead at Schiphol) or their account manager to learn more.

With over a million visitors per week, Schiphol is a prime location for brands. The premium out-of-home offering – from digital screens to promotional points – provides impactful visibility. Advertisers deliberately choose this exclusive location to boost brand awareness or drive sales. In addition to Schiphol, the airports of Eindhoven and Rotterdam are also part of the network.

Majid Al Futtaim, which owns the exclusive rights to operate Carrefour in the UAE, has announced a partnership between its retail media network, Precision Media, and Advertima.

We are told that this collaboration delivers a comprehensive omnichannel solution across Carrefour’s UAE grocery stores, bringing the power of digital media planning, activation, and measurement into the physical store and setting a new standard for retail media engagement.

Arun Chandra Mohan, Chief Digital Officer at Majid Al Futtaim Retail, told us “Our partnership with Advertima reflects our strategic ambition to shape the future of retail media in the region. We are merging real-time in-store intelligence with online audience data, unlocking smarter, more precise ways for our brand partners to connect with customers. This milestone reinforces our dedication to innovation and to crafting immersive experiences. It also marks a transformative phase for retail media, effectively bridging physical and digital commerce to enable a unified customer journey and measurable impact across the ecosystem.”

Carrefour has deployed Advertima’s Audience AI in 10 of its hypermarkets, with plans for further expansion across its UAE hypermarket and supermarket network in the coming months, further solidifying Majid Al Futtaim’s position as a leader in innovative retail experiences.

Iman Nahvi, Advertima Co-Founder and CEO, said “The Middle East, especially the GCC, is a dynamic and forward-thinking market, and we are excited to partner with the team at Majid Al Futtaim’s Precision Media to unify the online and in-store retail media buying experience. This is an exceptional opportunity for us to work with visionary thinkers intent on reinventing how Carrefour and its partner brands engage customers for a true omnichannel experience. It’s not only a game-changer for retail media in the Middle East but also ground-breaking on a global level.”

Using visual-spatial 3D sensors, Advertima Audience AI helps identify who is shopping in-store, such as families, young professionals, or bargain hunters, and delivers tailored messages to them in real-time through digital screens.

By connecting this in-store data with online audience profiles, Carrefour can now offer brands a consistent and targeted way to reach the same customer across both digital and physical channels, creating a unified omnichannel media buying experience. For example, a customer browsing baby products online might later see a relevant promotion in-store. This partnership allows media buyers to run more effective, measurable campaigns, whether booked directly or programmatically, while helping brands engage with customers in the moment purchase decisions are being made.

The round was led by RTP Global, with participation from Dovetail and other existing investors, bringing Flam’s total funding to USD 22 million.

To date, Flam has been transforming advertising by turning traditional ads into interactive MR experiences.
