Mandisi Ads, as an independent, valid and active Out of Home advertising concessionaire at ACSA airports, started off with establishing a very congenial business environment with our landlord (ACSA), where credibility and general business etiquette are the order of the day.

This has given us a considerable latitude to propose, develop and execute OOH static and digital sites at airports environments in particular in Cape Town International Airport (Our stronghold), infused with live activations and social media activations in order to amplify the reach and impact in line with clients’ campaigns objectives.

This strategic omnichannel elements incorporation approach in an airport environment, can only be effectively achieved once the media owner, client, media agency, landlord, production team and data analytics companies are in sync on collective ROIs and KPIs of OOH campaigns, meaning that:

• Thoughtful consideration of multi-factors goes into positioning and placing of any type of OOH infrastructure within airports precincts.
• Only utilization of the final unrushed creative that is visually appealing and compelling with concise messaging and innovatively memorable, because the creative can make or break the consumers interactive engagement.
• Assurance of static sites application precision and in time flighting.
• Digital sites activations with real-time audience engagement and factual post activation reporting, thus, a need for continuously evolving relative DOOH hardware and new data mining efficient technology.
