PATTISON Outdoor Transforms Calgary’s Bus Rapid Transit Experience with New MAX ‘Next Bus Arrival’ Screens

(Pictured above) PATTISON Outdoor expands its advertising footprint in Calgary with new BRT passenger displays. (Pictured right) PATTISON’s ‘Next Bus Arrival’ feature provides Calgary MAX Transit riders with up-to-the-minute information.

 

CALGARY, AB, JANUARY 29th, 2019 – PATTISON Outdoor Advertising, Canada’s foremost Out-of-Home advertising company officially announces the launch of its state-of-the-art BRT Passenger Information screens. This innovative transformation brings eighty-seven freestanding structures across the four new lines of Calgary’s MAX Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service, providing the transit audience with timely and vital information on vehicle schedules through PATTISON’s ‘Next Bus Arrival’ feature. PATTISON also offers advertisers an unparalleled opportunity to target the Calgary market at large, with a combined total of 172 screens that elevate the transit experience by pairing passenger spots with relevant and valuable advertising content.

 

Extending the mission of Calgary Transit, PATTISON’s ‘Next Bus’ Automated Passenger Information System (APIS) enhances the commuter experience by bringing accessible and reliable information on arriving busses, while presenting an exciting opportunity to advertisers. Measuring at 55”, these vertically-oriented Outdoor displays have high viewability, offering local and national businesses the opportunity of targeting both pedestrians and vehicular traffic. Situated at outdoor bus stops, the digital passenger displays reach consumers across Calgary’s greater neighbourhoods – areas that were previously unreachable by other forms of media, such as the affluent suburbs along the South Crosstown MAX Teal line.

 

“The fusion of integrated design, advance passenger information, and advertising represents the future of the Out-of-Home industry,” said Brian de Ruiter, Vice President and General Manager, Prairie Region, PATTISON Outdoor. “We are thrilled to provide Calgary Transit with Canada’s most state-of-the-art transit vehicle information system and offer advertisers the opportunity to take their advertising to a whole new level throughout the City of Calgary.”

 

Calgary’s new BRT integrates with existing transit lines in Calgary, including the Bus and Light Rapid Transit (LRT) systems, both of which PATTISON represents advertising for as well. Businesses can benefit by pairing BRT passenger screens with the current Digital LRT network, along with other transit formats, for campaigns that penetrate their target audience in meaningful ways. PATTISON also offers the option to scale nationally with product offerings similar to the BRT displays in markets such as Vancouver and Montreal.

Randy Otto, President of PATTISON Outdoor Receives FEPE Lifetime Achievement Award

Pictured above. Randy Otto, President of PATTISON Outdoor was presented with the 2019 Lifetime Achievement Award at FEPE International for outstanding contributions to the global Out-of-Home industry.

DUBAI, UAE, MAY 7th, 2019 – FEPE International, the Global Out-of-Home Organization awarded Randy Otto, President of PATTISON Outdoor Advertising with this year’s Lifetime Achievement Award at the 60th Annual International Congress Gala held in Dubai on May 2.

The FEPE Lifetime Achievement Award is the industry’s highest honour for accomplishment, recognizing an individual whose contributions have made a significant impact on the Out-of-Home industry worldwide.

FEPE International Executive Director John Ellery recognized Otto as “one of the true pioneers of not just the Canadian Out-of-Home industry, but worldwide too. We are delighted to honour him with our Lifetime Achievement Award.”

Otto first joined the Out-of-Home industry in 1976 and has been serving as the President of PATTISON Outdoor since 2004, where he also advises on the board for the Canadian Out of Home Marketing and Measurement Bureau (COMMB).

During this time, he spearheaded the launch of Canada’s first Proof-of-Performance campaign management system, EyeWitness POP™. The first offering of its kind to provide clients a way to monitor their Outdoor campaigns, while creating a level of transparency never before seen in the industry.

“Randy has been a strong industry leader serving on the COMMB Board since 2003, contributing to the development and advancement of Out-of-Home measurement,” says Roseanne Caron, President of COMMB.

Building PATTISON into Canada’s leading Out-of-Home company came through key expansions led by Otto, such as acquiring the digitally innovative Onestop Media Group and securing key advertising partnerships with transit and airport authorities across the country. In 2018, the recent acquisition of IMA brought with it the exclusive advertising rights to the Metrolinx ‘GO’ commuter system, further positioning PATTISON Outdoor as the premier provider of Out-of-Home advertising.

“I was humbled and honored to be recognized with the FEPE Lifetime Achievement Award during the World Outdoor Congress in Dubai, for a career in our industry that I have enjoyed so much,” says Otto.

The FEPE International Congress “celebrates the best of Out-of-Home, including the leaders who have made the industry the global force it is today…Award recipients are the corner stone of our annual Gala event, playing an important role in bringing the worldwide OOH industry together,” says Ellery.
