CBS Outdoor Intel Smart TV Penn StationFirst of its kind campaign uses mobile apps, touchscreen displays, and will recognize consumers by name, creating a customized Intel Smart TV experience

CBS Outdoor, in collaboration with OMD, Outdoor Media Group and Tribal DDB Worldwide, announced today the launch of a first of its kind multi-media campaign, offering consumers their very own “Minority Report” experience in New York’s Penn Station. The media campaign for Intel’s smart TV, which seamlessly integrates robust Internet content, broadcast programming, personal content and downloadable applications all viewable on one TV screen, recently kicked off utilizing custom mobile applications, interactive flat screens and outdoor advertising media. The technology showcases the ability to recognize a consumer via an opt-in feature, welcome them by name and customize a smart TV experience based on the consumer’s preferences.

“This is a first for out-of-home media, and a look into the future on how we can connect to consumers on a far more personalized basis,” said Jodi Senese, executive vice president CBS Outdoor. “Never before have we been able to offer this kind of engagement, on this many platforms to our clients. Working with Intel and their agency partners, CBS Outdoor has crafted a truly unique promotion that offers users a one-of-a-kind experience – literally.”

The promotion started Nov. 29 with outdoor media throughout the New York market, encouraging consumers to download the smart TV mobile app by texting Hello to 64444. Participants will then receive a link to download an app onto their mobile phones, which will ask a few questions about the individual’s TV viewing habits and preferences. They will then be invited to Intel’s smart TV experience event in the Penn Station Rotunda Dec. 15-29. As they enter the experience a series of interactive touch screen screen TV’s will not only recognize them by name but create a custom smart TV experience based on the answers to the questions the individual provided when they downloaded the app.

The state of the art New York outdoor advertising campaign debuts a new concept to outdoor marketing – “geofencing,” which creates virtual boundaries by physical locations and places, this time being Penn Station. CBS Outdoor’s partner Location Labs is providing the geofencing technology.

“As the provider of the mobile location based technology behind the Intel smart TV application, we are excited to see our innovative Geofencing technology make this ‘minority report’ type experience a reality,” said Tasso ‘Roumeliotis, founder and CEO, Location Labs. “The auto detecting capabilities of our technology is enabled when an individual enters the vicinity of Penn Station NYC and automatically helps to create a personalized billboard experience for that individual. We anticipate these kinds of futuristic campaigns to revolutionize the advertising and marketing industry.”

The interactive touchscreen experience is provided by CBS Outdoor’s partner Four Winds Interactive.

“Four Winds Interactive is happy to be working with CBS Outdoor and Intel on this groundbreaking ad campaign. It’s exciting to see their vision for the smart TV campaign utilizing our digital signage technology come to life on this big stage” said Greg Newman, director of implementation, Four Winds Interactive. “The use of digital signage in an ad campaign of this magnitude is a testament to its place as a communication medium.”
