Bauer Media Outdoor empowers learning and diversity through partnership with PROPS
Bauer Media Outdoor has partnered with PROPS, a Bristol-based charity that supports people with learning difficulties into meaningful employment, as part of an initiative to provide hands-on experience within the Out of Home advertising industry.
The partnership began with two creative workshops held at Bauer Media Outdoor’s Bristol depot, where participants were introduced to the operational side of the business and took part in poster design activities. These sessions gave trainees the opportunity to develop creative skills while gaining real-life work experience, producing designs that represent PROPS and its mission.
An outside view on creativity
Out of Home (OOH) advertising is becoming an essential brand-building channel for FMCG marketers, especially amid TV fragmentation, HFSS restrictions, and rising costs. Combining mass reach with tactical retail proximity, OOH offers unique opportunities to drive mental availability and connect with consumers during key category entry points. While special builds and creative executions dominate headlines, the poster remains the backbone of effective campaigns - now supercharged by Digital OOH innovations like dynamic data triggers and contextual targeting. By leveraging distinctive brand assets and creativity at scale, advertisers can boost attention, recall, and long-term impact, ensuring OOH delivers more than awareness - it drives purchase intent.
Bauer Media Outdoor partners with the University of the West of England’s New Wave collective to amplify LGBTQIA+ voices
Artwork created by students from UWE Bristol’s School of Arts is now being showcased across 21 single-sided Out of Home screens throughout Bristol, transforming everyday city spaces into a public art exhibition.
The exhibition explores a range of themes connected to the LGBTQIA+ community, including queer love and how experiences of loneliness are understood and expressed across different generations. Students collaborated to produce striking 2D artworks that reflect both their creative practice and personal perspectives.
The work will remain on display across the city until the end of the year, offering residents and visitors the opportunity to engage with contemporary art as part of their daily journeys.
