The Evening Standard is transforming its Greater London network of
six-sheet sites into full-motion posters, and has signed Nike as the
first advertiser to use the medium.
The street-facing posters, situated in newsagent windows, will be
brought to life by lenticular technology that is capable of repeating a
21-image sequence.
Nike's first test site will be in Regent Street, with sites on the
Clerkenwell Road and Drury Lane to follow.
Signwaves Media has been awarded the sales contract on the sites by the
Evening Standard, and is partnering with production company Hive
Associates to adapt each site into 'moving-sixes'.
David Jenkins, director of Signwaves Media, said: "Advertisers don't
have to think about where they are want to place their one-off
lenticular ad, as all of the sites will be equipped to run the dynamic
format.
"It will allow brands to grab the attention of passing pedestrians, who
will often stop and double-take the image they have seen move.
"We can adapt a normal six-sheet ad and turn it into something special.
This is not a complicated medium to master and we can provide the
locations, creative and the posting."
