Watch the story behind Forever Beta’s winning idea for The Big Issue, brought to life by the Competition
The evolution of the medium facilitates use of both full motion imagery and integrated technology, to deliver emotionally engaging campaigns.
It has also taken a fundamental leap forward in its fame, its power and its potential for brands. From being an effective OOH communication platform providing huge success for brands, it is now a platform that delivers this as well as extensive amplification across social media, meaning the point of influence for brand messaging is not just people in front of the screen, but extends to global eyeballs.
Watch the How to Enter video above and check out the Creative Inspiration page.
