PEM placed ads at North Station, a key transit hub in New England and the only commuter rail link between Boston and Salem. The campaign used dynamic, interactive ads on Liveboards to engage commuters amid the busy Halloween season.
Creative Excellence:
PEM elevated their out of home campaign by utilizing QRad, a cutting-edge technology that puts audiences in control of their ad journey. Here鈥檚 how it worked:
- Liveboard ads targeted Salem-bound commuters with the message: 鈥淗eaded to Salem for an eerie adventure. Who will you meet next?鈥 prompting a QR code scan.
- Passersby scanned the QR code, leading to a landing page where users could take their pick鈥攁n accused witch, a magician, or a cute animal.
- Their selection transformed both their phone and the ad in real time, triggering a corresponding Liveboard linked to PEM鈥檚 exhibitions. On their mobile devices, users could then learn more and purchase tickets.
Campaign Results:
The QRad campaign successfully generated over 4,200 QR code scans and 1,600 secondary clicks, showcasing how technology can revolutionize OOH transit advertising and drive measurable engagement.
