FOX Using Real-time Outdoor Audience Segmentation

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

Amscreen announced this week that they are working with FOX International Channels to assist in targeting key segments of a wider TV viewing audience in real-time, through the use of Amscreen’s measurable OptimEyes technology and Audience Assured Advertising.

In an industry first, FOX International Channels (FIC) is pioneering the use of the system to target multiple audiences for multiple shows in one deal. They are utilising Amscreen’s national reach via 500 screens in venues that detect a viewer’s age and gender. Employment of the network in this way represents a new and efficient, cross-product use of the OptimEyes technology and Audience Assured Advertising packs.

AAA of course allows advertisers to only pay for the selected audience delivered as well as have an understanding of the real-time traffic flow, offering insight on fluctuations in interactions based on locations and time of day/day of week.

FOX International Channels will be using this platform to create a bespoke schedule in order to engage specific audiences including Adults 16-34yrs and Males 35-54yrs with upcoming series on FOX, National Geographic Channel and Nat Geo WILD. They include the highly-anticipated mystery thriller WAYWARD PINES starring Matt Dillon and Juliette Lewis (FOX), and the UK Premiere of popular car improvement show CAR S.O.S. (National Geographic Channel) which returns for its third season.

Mike Hemmings, Marketing Director, Amscreen Ltd told us “FOX has taken OptimEyes®and our AAA packs to a new level through multi-audience targeting for their shows. The flexible and targeted nature of our national network of screens means they are reaching the right audience, at the right time and brands only pay for what we deliver through our real-time monitoring.”

Campaigns will feature across screens nationwide and are also optimised based on high traffic locations within key geographical areas of focus, including London, Midlands, North West and Scotland. The use of this technology will ensure that adverts are run at times when the specific audience profile is strongest and therefore will improve audience relevance and efficiency.
