Volvic Adds a Touch of Summer Sparkle with 3D Programmatic Digital OOH Campaign

Wavemaker UK, Global and DOOH.com have collaborated on a show-popping 3D programmatic digital out-of-home (DOOH) ad campaign for the launch of a new Touch of Fruit Sparkling range from the experts at Volvic - just in time for summer.

For the next seven weeks, commuters and passers-by at Kings Cross and Waterloo London Underground stations will be treated to the unmissable sight of Touch of Fruit Sparkling 3D cans popping out from digital screens. This all-round sensory, immersive experience includes digital outdoor ads situated in close proximity to stockists, encouraging consumers to discover the new sparkling fruity flavoured drinks at their earliest convenience. 

The eye-catching campaign marks the first time a 3D DOOH campaign has been programmatically-bought and activated and it has been made possible thanks to the pioneering offering from Global via its Digital Ad Exchange (DAX).

In addition, the use of 3D audio and digital display perfectly complements the outdoor campaign to capture the attention of a wide target audience by delivering an entirely connected omni-channel experience.

And it doesn’t end there. A partnership with Wavemaker and The Trade Desk enables the retargeting of the DOOH campaign across audio and display activity which is an effective way to reach many users across a number of channels. This smart use of data is imperative to delivering higher effectiveness and return on investment (ROI) for a multi-channel media strategy of this kind. 

DOOH.com was responsible for the creative production, Wavemaker UK the media planning and buying, and GroupM Nexus’ AdvancedDOOH team the media buying via The Trade Desk. Wavemaker UK and DOOH.com managed the campaign end-to-end. Global’s DAX and The Trade Desk’s ad tech partnership enabled this programmatic media-first opportunity in the UK.

Jules Smith, head of paid and earned media, Danone UKI commented, “As a brand we love to be at the forefront of creativity and push the boundaries when it comes to creative advertising. With the help of Wavemaker UK, DOOH.com, Global and the Touch of Fruit brand will really stand out from the crowd, making a splash with this stunning new creative – just in time for summer. This eye-catching, showstopping campaign truly breaks expectations by embodying the playful, surprising, and exciting nature of Touch of Fruit Sparkling drinks, in a distinctive Volvic way.”

Chris Langley, managing partner, Wavemaker UK explained, “Such a sparkling campaign needed eye-catching media activations – with both 3D DOOH and audio being the perfect solution. This has been all made possible by the forward-thinking nature of programmatic buying and retargeting. By driving as much top-of-mind relevancy as possible will enable Volvic to not only positively provoke brand awareness, but capture audience attention when they are in a prime purchasing mindset. Beyond this, working closely with Volvic, Global and DOOH.com, we’ve truly demonstrated what the future of DOOH could look like in the here and now. It will be truly amazing to see it all come to life.”

Alex Grieves, commercial director, advanced DOOH at GroupM Nexus added, “The combined elements of programmatically-delivered 3D DOOH and audio, alongside classic digital display, make this a truly integrated and omnichannel campaign. It provides a more engaging and interactive experience for consumers - one that we’re proud to be a part of. It’s been a pleasure to work with the Wavemaker UK, DOOH.com, Global and Volvic teams to make this a 3D reality.” 

Andrew Newman, CEO and founder, of DOOH.com said, “This campaign really shows off the power of a 3D programmatic campaign. This approach goes beyond the limits of traditional outdoor advertising, turning the ad space into a captivating illusion. This campaign was not just about catching eyeballs - it was about creating a moment, a share-worthy campaign that embeds the Volvic brand in people's memory. Programmatic delivers guaranteed impacts, now with 3D forced perspective, you can achieve creative impact as well. An unmatched powerful combination in OOH.”

Mia Mulch, group DAX Director at Global said, “I’m so pleased that our programmatic outdoor capabilities are extending into bespoke creative formats that cut through for brands like Volvic. We’ve already been breaking boundaries in programmatic outdoor and I’m thrilled to bring this new opportunity to advertisers.”

Chris Reader, head of commercial media for TfL said, “The uniqueness of these sensory immersive adverts not only highlights the innovative and forward-thinking approach of the team at Volvic but also serves as a another brilliant example of how our advertising assets can be used to promote products in a creative and impactful way.”
