Stunning creative outdoor features 3D special builds and digital anamorphic including a first on the London Underground
The UK’s No.1 bagel brand New York Bakery Co. has teamed up with Global, the Media & Entertainment Group, to create a 3D outdoor campaign that’s been breaking out of frames across London.
This week, for the first time on the Transport for London network, huge digital gateway screens above the escalators at London’s Waterloo and King’s Cross St. Pancras underground stations feature a giant New York Bakery Co. bagel in digital 3D, treating passers-by with a delicious visual display. The design has been created using anamorphic 3D, a design technique that makes creative campaigns appear to pop out of digital screens.
New York Bakery Co.’s 3D digital creative complements its £2m marketing campaign that targeted weekday breakfast occasions throughout April. The nationwide, multi-channel campaign, created by Recipe, heralds bagels as the “The Toast of New York” and celebrates New York Bagels as the superior breakfast choice over toast.
The campaign also included an outdoor takeover in Waterloo featuring 3D special build billboards, a mass sampling event, radio and video on-demand content, social and influencer activity.
“This year’s campaign is very different and incredibly exciting as we are trialling new and innovative displays and technology to help the campaign have the greatest impact possible.
Celebrating our new Toast of New York campaign with a truly integrated media mix, people are hopefully treated to some creative fun, which is very much what the New York Bakery Co. brand is all about”
Grupo Bimbo UK’s Marketing Director, Christina Honigfort
Advertisers can also use Global’s impactful large-format digital outdoor screens in cities across the UK at airports and railway stations to showcase eye-catching 3D anamorphic campaigns at scale.
“Creativity is in Global’s DNA and we’re always looking for new and innovative products for our advertising partners to make the most of.
3D anamorphic supercharges brand campaigns on our digital outdoor estate and we’ve created stand-out opportunities for marketeers – screens in busy locations with viewing angles and high-quality definition that work brilliantly with anamorphic display.
We’ve seen amazing designs come to life on Global screens already – including New York Bakery Co’s beautiful bagel campaign – and I’m looking forward to seeing what other brands will do.”
Chris Forrester, Global’s Commercial Director for Outdoor
“This new campaign is another exciting step in making our exceptional and innovative advertising estate as engaging as possible.
It continues to be a natural home for brands who want to push the creative boundaries and reach a thriving, diverse audience that reflects the capital that we serve.
We’re keen to hear what our customers, stakeholders and brands think about this new and engaging advertising option to ensure that we can make any future campaigns as welcoming and appealing as possible.”
