Out of home advertising delivers more for your brand
The out of home medium’s strengths are manifold and, in many cases, obvious. It is a medium that cannot be ‘switched off’, it engages audiences at different stages throughout their daily lives and it has the ability to inform and entertain. One of its main strengths however, is its flexibility.
Out of home advertising can be as general or as targeted as required, it can be national or local, urban or rural. Through countless format options, it can gain access to specific audiences such as shoppers, commuters, young people or professionals.
Whatever your target audience, there is an out of home solution to reach them.

Galileo Mapping is a Geo-demographic mapping system which assists in planning and targeting of PML Group campaigns. Galileo Mapping allows us to target campaigns towards specific demographic groups, certain locations or regions, or types of businesses. For example, a confectionery brand may be interested in only using 6 sheets that are within 100 yards of cinemas in Dublin. Galileo Mapping also ensures that inappropriate advertising is not located close to schools, churches etc..
Galileo Mapping brings added efficiency to our campaigns.

PPR is a site quality rating system created independently by PML Group to ensure we book the highest quality campaigns on the highest quality sites. It means that our campaigns all must meet a minimum level of quality in terms of a number of key criteria including visibility, location and illumination. This ensures PML Group clients are getting the best quality campaigns for their investment. |

Centum grading is an in-house panel who will grade your poster design in terms of a number of key criteria such as clarity, colour and branding. Recommendations are made on improvements based on our expertise in the effectiveness of poster designs on street. It means clients can get an expert view on the suitability of their design for the out of home environment. The result is that the design that hits the streets is the most effective and eye-catching that it can possibly be.
Poster Preview allows clients to see exactly how their creative execution will look like in a real Out of Home environment. It means clients can be assured that when their creative hits the streets the text will be legible, the branding will be clear and logos will be visible. |
