Campaign

American Express partnered with Bauer Media Outdoor to deliver a data-led DOOH campaign across London’s busiest high streets. Using Adshel Live screens, the campaign targeted locations that over-indexed against inbound US travellers, ensuring the brand was seen at key moments just before entering store.

Strategy

A DOOH proximity approach was used to reach high-value audiences in real time, aligning screen selection with shopper behaviour data. Using programmatic activation, the campaign optimised delivery across London locations that over-indexed against inbound travellers.
