JCDecaux will continue to strengthen Changi Airport’s advertising experience through increased digitisation, innovative data-led solutions that enable campaign optimisation and audience measurement, as well as offer drive-to-store or website measurement tools to deliver greater value for brands. Programmatic adoption ensures inclusion of Changi Airport’s digital media in brands’ omni-channel strategies, enabling it to tap into the global online media market.
Through thoughtful design and placement of advertising media, JCDecaux aims to offer passengers an enhanced audience experience through creative optimisation, displaying the right advertisement message in the right place, at the right time.
In line with both companies’ ESG pillars, sustainability and safety will be strong focuses of the concession, with JCDecaux’s bizSAFE STAR and ISO 45001:2018 safety certifications for its Singapore operation and clear objectives for green energy, recyclable materials and e-waste management.
