Write a short summary of what happens in the digital or ambient execution or campaign.

Mediagares, the number one DOOH display network in french stations, wants to show that its screens can do more than just show 10-second video loops. They can be much more creative. How about launching an innovative media project to appeal to the million travellers who say goodbye in train stations every day? This is: "Welcome Billboard. Surprise your loved ones when they arrive." After saying goodbye to your loved ones, you create a video for them in the Welcome Billboard app, and then you select their arrival station and time. Your video message is then displayed on the DOOH screens when they arrive at their destination. The message follows them through the train station thanks to ultra-precise geolocation.

Cultural / Context information for the jury

Everyday in France around 10 millions of people are travelling by train: for work, to travel or to go back home... We have observed a progression of 45% of people taking the train in the 10 past years. The network is evolving, the digital equipment such as the screens are used to entertain millions of people every year and brands are using this media to touch them in these real lifetime and consommation moments. So why not use these screens to re-integrate a human touch and capture people travelling. Making them smile, suprising them in a moment they are not expecting: this is what they are looking for. This is what we wanted to catch: this progressive audience, that is more and more connected but less and less connected to their loved ones.
