Total success: first DOOH programmatic campaign with DV360 in Switzerland
In collaboration with Swisscom's Wingo, APG|SGA carried out the first Digital Out of Home programmatic campaign with Google DV360 in Switzerland.
The PDOOH campaign kicked off on 14 December 2023 with Wingo's «BrandDay», during which more than 550 ePanels and 43 APG|SGA eBoards were used with animated images. The campaign was run programmatically using Google's DSP DV360 and VIOOH's SSP. With over 4.1 million contacts and a reach of 20% on the first day, the campaign attracted maximum attention in German- and French-speaking Switzerland. Thanks to specific geo-targeting, targeted ePanels and eBoards were distributed from 15 December in the vicinity of Wingo's competitors to encourage the young target group to switch supplier. The campaign also targeted commuters during the week and Christmas shoppers at the weekend. From 15 to 19 December 2023, the campaign generated more than 8 million contacts, with a penetration rate of 34%.

Iced Coffee, a Starbucks Refresha® drink, a Frappuccino® blended beverage, or would you prefer Hot Coffee? Starbucks has taken advantage of what programmatic DOOH has to offer. In the German and French speaking parts of Switzerland, a digital outdoor advertising campaign within a 500-meter radius of the Starbucks Coffee Houses encouraged passersby to enjoy a refreshing drink or a warm coffee – depending on the weather. While the cold beverages were advertised in weather conditions of 13°C and above, additional advertising exposure took place when the sun was shining and temperatures were 25°C and above. Below 12°C, the Hot Coffee was used. Starbucks took advantage of the use of different time slots for the beverage types for an even more targeted broadcast.

TREE GUM was born with the mission to launch a plastic-free, 100% natural, sustainable, and Swiss-made chewing gum. TREE GUM chewing gums are naturally pure vegetable, 100% vegan, and guaranteed biodegradable. It is important to us that TREE GUM tastes great but is completely free from sugar, aspartame, plastic, artificial sweeteners, and flavors.
Aim of the campaign
The aim of the campaign was to introduce the Tree Gum brand to potential new customers as a natural alternative to conventional petroleum-based chewing gums. During a two-week test phase, Tree Gum chewing gums were listed in all Valora k-kiosks. In order to draw the attention of the target group and to encourage them to buy Tree Gum at the k-kiosk, targeted online display & native ads as well as Programmatic Digital Out of Home (PDOOH) spots were placed around the point-of-sales (POS).

This advertising is weather dependent
When it's cold outside, the desire for raclette or fondue increases. The Coop Cooperative is promoting its raclette and fondue cheeses with a programmatic campaign.
Coop's programmatic DOOH campaign in the fall was particularly interesting due to special weather targeting. The advertising media were only played during precipitation or cloudy skies and temperatures below 12 degrees. In order to reach commuters in pedestrian zones, train stations and other locations, the time period between 4 and 8 p.m. was defined as an additional attribute during the week. On Saturday afternoons, weekend shoppers were addressed. Splicky of Jaduda GmbH and the media agency TWmedia supported Coop in implementing this campaign.
Coop was very pleased with the campaign, which took place at 130 locations over a two-month period. More than 15 million gross contacts were achieved in the process.
