FRESHDIRECT TURNS TO OOH ATTRIBUTION AS IT REFINES POST-PANDEMIC MEDIA STRATEGY

Out-of-home advertising has long been an important category for FreshDirect. It
allows the grocery delivery service to reach city dwellers en masse —
particularly in New York where it’s based. 

But once the pandemic took hold, the company had to rethink its OOH campaigns,
as subway riders and use of public transport dwindled while demand for grocery
delivery skyrocketed, said Katie Zapata, FreshDirect’s head of brand marketing. 

“You can’t assess with one TV commercial that you’re going to reach all of New
York City, but a subway campaign reaches a large number of people, so it’s a
great way to provide surround sound for our other media,” Zapata said. With
fewer people riding the subway during the height of the pandemic, the company
tried new street-level placements or on major highways.

Along with trying new OOH spots, FreshDirect is now upping its attribution
capabilities with Quan Media, an OOH agency, and the OOH measurement tech
company AdQuick. 

FreshDirect could see that running OOH improved the value of other media
campaigns in a market, but the company relied on promo codes in ads for any
direct attribution, Zapata said. 

With Quan and its integration with AdQuick, FreshDirect can connect mobile
devices that pass by its OOH ads to users who visit the FreshDirect site or app.
As with programmatic, it’s a way of measuring OOH based on specific audiences,
instead of by the supposed value of certain contextual placements. 




For instance, with the AdQuick mobile exposure data Zapata said FreshDirect
determined that one undistinguished billboard in Long Island City, Queens,
outperformed billboards on the West Side Highway, the Midtown Tunnel and the
Lincoln Tunnel, which are some of the splashiest OOH placements in the world. 



The brand can also now test its messaging and specific services. In its latest
OOH campaign with Quan, Zapata said FreshDirect is splitting the promotion
between its typical next-day delivery and a new same-day express offer. The
company will be able to see which messages lead to more new visitors or delivery
orders now that it’s attributed value to specific billboards and locations. 

Many brands think of OOH as a vanity play, or as a way to boost recruitment in
their home city, since there isn’t clear attribution, said Quan CEO Brian
Rappaport. The analytics partnership with AdQuick empowers Quan’s clients to
connect actual business results – new app sign-ups or items added to a cart – to
OOH campaigns, or even to specific locations. 

It also turns OOH campaigns into a funnel for retargeting. Zapata said traffic
to the FreshDirect site is still the main source of retargeting audiences, but
by connecting mobile devices to campaigns and online cookies, OOH is now a
modest driver of retargetable audiences.

OOH media dropped off during the pandemic, especially with big brands, Rappaport
said. But more data-driven DTC companies have moved back to OOH more quickly
than other companies, and bring a metrics-driven approach. 

“Two-thirds of the campaigns we’ve run so far in 2021 have had some measurement
component,” he said. “It’s a new story and way to think about OOH than we saw
before last year.”
