Ambient Media

Ambient Media

What is ambient media?Ambient media is defined as using non-traditional methods of advertising to reach consumers whenever and wherever they happen to be, presenting it to consumers in an appropriate environment.

Why ambient media?The Middle East is opening up to ambient media. Especially during the holy month of Ramadan when some companies spend 50 - 60% of their annual budget, it is important to use alternative media vehicles to supplement traditional print, TV and radio.

Ambient Media

Why ambient media? (Continued)A recent study by Ogilvy Action revealed that 38% of purchase decisions are unplanned and that as much as 68% of consumers are perennial brand switchers, swayed by price cuts, promotions, curiosity and even mood, leaving only 5 % truly loyal to a single brand. Ambient media allows you to capture many new customers.

Selwa Alireza, senior writer, Leo Burnett, says: "Although companies in the Gulf are still using the more conventional types of media to stop consumers, by far the newest media movement I have seen, which has shown to have the best effect and the greatest amount of stopping power, is ambient media."

Ambient Media

Mall activationDuring the long summer months residents of the GCC spend all their free time indoors. Going to the mall is the number 1 favourite activity.

Toilet Hose

All toilets are fitted with ablution hoses. Muslims are required to cleanse themselves with water every time they use the bathroom.

We have a captive audience in washrooms and by using the hose as a basis for our concept we are guaranteed that customers will see the ad.

It’s also the perfect location as Delta is used in the bathroom and also in the kitchen.

Ablution Facility

As part of the prayer ritual, Muslims are required to cleanse their hands, face and feet before they go to prayer.

Mosques and even prayer rooms at malls have an ablution facility. These facilities are usually very rudimentary and create a perfect opportunity to advertise the luxury of Delta.

Gym Showers

Gym showers are very basic and offer the ideal location to advertise Delta’s luxury.

We have a captive audience so we’re assured the ad will be seen. Secondly we are advertising the product in its “home environment”. Delta is used in the kitchen and bathroom.

Beach Activation

Most beaches here do not have beach showers. It creates an opportunity for Delta to set up a branded activity at beaches.

Set up showers for males and females to rinse themselves after a swim in the sea. They can experience Delta’s technology firsthand.

Viral Adverts

We suggest that Delta produces a viral video to impact the market.

What is viral marketing?A marketing technique that uses pre-existing social networks to increase brand awareness or to achieve other marketing objectives (such as product sales) through self- replicating viral processes, analogous to the spread of a virus or computer viruses.

Why viral marketing? Saudi population = 27 million of which 65% is under 25 years old.Impacting the Saudi market needs a younger approach. Traditional advertising is no longer enough.

Viral Adverts

Why viral marketing? (Continued)Memac Ogilvy PR, Riyadh says the most popular type of media requested by their clients is SMS messaging and outdoor advertising which has proven to be the most effective in reaching the audience in the Kingdom, which is young and nearly always on the move. This young audience is growing by 4% a year.

Middle Eastern nationals are very gadget savvy and love their mobile devices.

Viral Adverts

Examples of viral ads from VWThe best virals are the ones that mention the product, but doesn’t harp on the benefits.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lXh2n0aPyw&feature=relatedhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRgWttqFKu8&playnext=1&list=PL54068AFC3D8A22CC

What can Delta do?Glasses “sing” when you fill them with water and run your finger around the edge.Create a viral with two Arab nationals who fill glasses from Delta faucets and do a duet.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-CWCEJPq4w&feature=related
