The out of home media market in Northern Ireland showed further improvement in Q4 of 2014, following a positive Q3 result. In our opinion, we estimate that the ooh market value remained on a par with 2013, in spite of a sluggish start to 2014. As we move into 2015, the ooh market is experiencing strong demand in the first quarter - a pleasing trend and reason for optimism.

2014 brought new innovations and market firsts to the out of home media stage in Northern Ireland. From weather-specific messaging and mobile-controlled outdoor sound systems, to street domination, ooh continues to deliver innovative ways to create lasting impact and deeper audience engagement for advertisers.

There have been noteworthy increases in display value across a number of categories in 2014. The largest increases have been experienced by the Construction-Property and Energy categories, growing 154% and 117.1% respectively. However, the Retail Outlets category topped the table for 2014 with 11.7% share of voice of the local ooh market, reflecting the rising consumer confidence and continued economic recovery being enjoyed in Northern Ireland.

Overview

This year has seen a small but important growth in digital ooh media, rising from 2% at the start of 2014 to finish at 3% of the local market. There is much excitement within our industry across the world as digital ooh media expands further and further, ever increasing the possibilities and opportunities to reach consumers in more sophisticated ways. We welcome the growing popularity of dooh media locally, as more and more advertisers realise the advantages of this format.

Another trend seen in 2014 has been the increase in innovative campaigns. Earlier this year, PML Group had the honour of bringing to the market a number of superb ‘firsts’, such as the weather-activated 6 Sheets for Harp Lager; the LED fairy light studded Mega Full Wrap bus by Phoenix Natural Gas; the NFC-enabled 6 Sheets for Tennent’s Vital that played music and gave the target audience the power to pick the playlist; and the clever King Street Domination by Danske Bank to name but a few.

Other developments this year have included an expansion by Clear Channel in the Backlit 48 Sheet network across Belfast, now incorporating Lisburn city. Similarly, Bravo has introduced 3 new portrait backlit displays at the Titanic Quarter and Portadown. Also, the Exterion Media Backlit 96 Sheet on Grosvenor Road has become available for 2015. Additionally, the Backlit 96 Sheet Admobile by Adbugs made a stunning return to the market in December.

Primesight has continued to introduce new POS 6 Sheets at Henderson Group stores, such as Spar. New 6 Sheet opportunities are also now available at George Best Belfast City Airport.

HD 48 Sheets have also enjoyed great popularity this year.

Roadside, retail and commuter 6 Sheets have also enjoyed significant demand during 2014, accounting for 39% of all ooh media activity.

Henderson Group, one of Northern Ireland’s leading food retail companies, is the third most prevalent advertiser on local ooh media for 2014 with a 2.1% overall share of voice. The Group is the parent company of food retailers Spar, Eurospar, Vivo and VivoXtra – all of which have employed ooh media during 2014.

The largest increase in rate card display value for 2014 compared to 2013 was enjoyed by Phoenix Natural Gas. The energy company increased rate card display value for the year by a staggering 376.7% to take fifth position on the Top 15 Advertisers table, following a year of exceptional branding campaigns by ASG and PML NI that employed local tongue-in-cheek humour and tied in with two of 2014’s key events, the FIFA World Cup and Giro d’Italia.

The icing on the cake however, was the Phoenix Natural Gas Mega Full Wrap in December – a vinyl wrapped bus studded with LED fairy lights that depicted the brand’s well known couple, Jim and Jean, decorating their Christmas Tree.

RBS Group, parent company of Ulster Bank, also enjoyed a significant increase of 35.4% in rate card display value during 2014 versus 2013 due to recurring bursts of the high impact ‘YES’ mortgage campaign.

The top 15 categories on out of home media for 2014 are given below. They are listed in order of share of voice of the entire market, based on ratecard display values.

As per Q3, the Retail Outlets category has topped the table, having increased its combined rate card display value by 14.3% for 2014.

Beers & Ciders enjoyed a modest increase of 7.0% in rate card display value, accounting for almost 5% of the market. Global drinks company, Diageo, also took first place on the table of Top 15 Advertisers. Smart and impactful campaigns by Diageo brand Harp Lager, have contributed to the value of the category. This includes the exciting weather-activated campaign for Harp by Carat Ireland, Source ooh and Buzzoo; a first for the local ooh media market.

The Energy category experienced one of the largest increases in rate card display value for 2014, compared to the last year. A highly competitive market, campaigns aimed at consumers from Phoenix Natural Gas, firmus energy, Power NI and Airtricity, all contributed to the value of the category’s ooh media investment for 2014.

ooh Format Breakdown

The table below shows how the top 15 categories assigned their investment over the main ooh formats.

Large format ooh media proved very popular with advertisers across several categories during 2014. The ‘big brand’ effect and coverage across Northern Ireland’s main towns and urban areas makes large format the right choice for many advertisers. Furthermore, the creative space provided by large format is perfect for showcasing campaigns that work best with big, bold, product images; for example cars, beer, houses and clothing. This is reflected by large format accounting for 66.1% of the Motor Trade category; 66.2% of the Beers & Ciders category; 52.9% of the Construction-Property category; and 54.4% of the Retail Outlets category.

Both the Quick Service Restaurant and Food categories favoured 6 Sheets, accounting for 77.3% and 63.6% of rate card display value respectively. The strength of the 6 Sheet format lies in its ability to target consumers on the move, and on the path to purchase with close proximity to stores– the ideal times to reach consumers with QSR or Food category campaigns.
