Claire Woods, Head of Marketing oOh!media said: “This round of the OMA’s Creative Collection showcased creative that considered design specific to its intended environment, format and dwell time. The stand outs for me were the winners of the OOH for Good and the Best use of Digital. The For our Elders campaign used beautiful, simple, eye catching creative. The uncluttered composition was thoughtfully designed in harmony with the tram exterior, while the interior creative made the most of the longer dwell time and had more detailed copy, allowing passengers to read the information whilst on their journey. All in all, a great execution”.

Launched in 2013, the Creative Collection celebrates the big, bold, and audacious canvas that is OOH by recognising exceptional campaigns in each quarter. Campaigns are judged across the following categories:

Big, Bold, and Bright
Best Use of Multi-Format
Best Use of Digital
Innovation in Out of Home

Christina Knox, Brand Marketing Manager, Archie Rose
