Maxine Mackenzie, head of marketing at Directgov, said: ‘This campaign will deliver advice to a huge audience. We wanted to explore a dynamic and relevant way of promoting our campaign, and we chose ATM digital advertising after a recommendation by the COI.'
Jack Vincent, business development director at ATM:ad, said: ‘Government departments are becoming more aware of the power of reaching the public through ATMs. And by promoting government awareness campaigns, banks can also ensure their customers are exposed to important messages.'
The campaign was booked by Posterscope. ATM:ad's clients include British Airways, easyJet, Orange, Nivea, New Look, Orion and the COI.
