Airport Testimonials

Agency

  • "My clients appreciate the visibility and recognition airport dioramas generate for their businesses.  Time and time again these placements have proven to be an unusually effective and distinctive way to reach business leaders and high level decision makers."

    Jean Komendera, Partner, Gold Dog Communications, Inc.
  • "Airports provide advertisers the opportunity to reach a consumer in a quality environment versus traditional out-of-home.  Additionally, airport displays are intrusive: they are in close radius to the consumer with placements on walkways and check-in areas.  Lastly, the airport traveler is always a good demographic to reach."

    Mary Prisco, Outdoor Vision
  • "JCDecaux's airport advertising provides The Media Kitchen and our clients with a unique angle at reaching today's elusive and busy consumers.  Airport advertising through the open-minded and innovative JCDecaux company allows for interesting targeting opportunities and capabilities.  It also guarantees viewership of our clients' messages and added involvement within a highly relative environment."

    Paul Woolmington, Head Chef, The Media Kitchen
  • "I want to express my continued satisfaction in working with JCDecaux's media opportunities.  We've always been able to come back year after year for all types of airport signage for Emerson and Standard Federal Bank.  We've also seen our regional McDonald's and LaSalle Bank clients advertise on your beautiful bus shelters.  I've been really excited just in the past few months to see our new clients utilize many of JCDecaux's opportunities.  For example, we've had regional McDonald's, LaSalle and Standard Federal Banks to advertise in your malls and we have had the Chicago Tribune advertise on your shelters just in the past four months! To see our clients see the benefits of what your company has to offer and to see them be pleased with the results is very gratifying."

    Alison Kruse, Outdoor Media Group
  • "For many of WPP/Kinetic's blue chip clients, JCDecaux's Prestige Digital Network has become an integral part of their U.S. airport advertising efforts. Some of our Best in Class clients have created animated digital campaigns exclusively for this JCDecaux platform. The flexibility of the network has afforded Aviator - Kinetic's aviation specialist arm - the opportunity to be more strategic in how we plan and recommend airport media in the U.S."

    Erik Bottema, Director, Aviator - North America
  • "Digital media within the JCDecaux airport channel allowed us the opportunity to create a synchronized advertising experience across the entire airport among an audience with the highest propensity to convert. Using digital not only allowed for creative flexibility and maximum relevancy, it was also a great channel to help drive potential cardholders to tabling efforts." 

    Ashley Krysinski, Sr. Strategy Planner, Carlson Marketing

Airport

  • "John Wayne Airport is thrilled to be the first North American airport to completely refurbish its interior advertising program with JCDecaux's new generation of airport advertising products.  Their team brought us a first-rate installation that includes static, digital and interactive graphics, all seamlessly integrated into the Airport's architecture.  John Wayne Airport asked for a lot on this project: great aesthetics, customer appeal and increased revenues.  JCDecaux delivered it all."

    Courtney C. Wiercioch, Deputy Airport Director, Public Affairs, John Wayne Airport

  • "JCDecaux partnered with our team in helping the Bacardi Global Brand achieve its objectives. Our campaign was very impactful in both reaching consumers and in driving sales."

    Maggie Matias, Travel Marketing Director, Bacardi
  • "Reaching travel consumers and making sure advertising works hard at driving awareness was one of the challenges Bombay Sapphire Gin faced when considering their media strategy.  Delivering the WOW factor was essential, thus the development of the 7-ton fish tank exhibit.  The tank installed in New York['s] JFK and London's Heathrow has delivered the media punch it was looking for..."

    Jose Chao, VP Travel Retail Marketing Director for Bacardi Global Brands

Apparel

  • "Utilizing our customer research, we identified the Orlando airport as a key entry point for Ron Jon's customer.  With JCDecaux's market-savvy representatives, we developed a multi-media campaign for intercepting these customers with Ron Jon messages.  This airport campaign has helped us increase our market penetration of the airport travelers at both of our Central Florida stores.  We are continuing to expand our airport campaign with JCDecaux's advice and assistance."

    William H. Bieberback, Ron Jon's VP of Corporate Development

    Carolyn K. Walkin, VP Associate Director, Zenith Media
  • "We appreciate the opportunity to display the Subaru Tribeca and Outback at [Dallas] Love Field.  The location of the displayed vehicle proved to be very effective...the vehicles [were] viewed by thousands each day due to the high pedestrian traffic flow at [Dallas] Love Field.  As expected, it turned out to be quite a success! We received many calls inquiring about the vehicles resulting in numerous appointments for test drives and new orders.  [JCDecaux] went beyond the call of duty in getting this accomplished for us!"

    David Thomas, Managing Partner of Subaru Dallas
  • "Our challenge was to have our message stand out.  In choosing the baggage package that JCDecaux offered in Miami, we were able to effectively greet visitors to the Miami International Boat Show and share our message in a creative and memorable way.  The airport domination also allowed us to prevent our competitors from participating in the opportunity."

    Justin Happel, Account Executive for Johnson Evinrude at C/K Agency
  • "I wanted to let you know how pleased I have been with the Craig Catamaran boat display at the Orlando International Airport.  My team receives calls every day from potential customers that saw our boat at MCO.  The display has helped to raise consumer awareness for our Craig Catamaran boat line.  With the difficult times and the limited budget that does not allow for TV or radio advertising, we are very pleased with the results".

    Robert Craig, Sales Director, Craig Catamaran

Courtesy Phone Center

  • "There have been times I have considered cancelling our contract for phone service at John Wayne Airport primarily due to the fact that I felt most people used other means to communicate to us for airport pick-up (cell-phones).  Well, let me tell you that during our most recent problem with the disconnection of services for a month, the customer's voice was loud and strong.  We had more complaints about the lack of airport courtesy phones... I was shocked!  Good news is, I won't be cancelling anytime soon."

    Michael J. Mustafa, Director of Sales and Marketing, Westin South Coast Plaza

The sponsorship packages work so effectively that we're also branding the arrivals area of Terminal E."

We truly appreciate the tremendous exposure and trackability of this billboard featuring our name. We chose to advertise our olive oil at MIA during the busy winter season to reach all the travelers visiting Miami for its many food and wine festivals and elite sporting events.

     

    The Colavita brand is synonymous with premium quality, and we wanted to increase our brand awareness among all the cosmopolitan, global travelers flying in and out of this beautiful airport and city. Our location right outside some of MIA's busiest and most international terminals really captures the audience we want to reach."   

    Ursula Avella, National Chain Account Manager, COLAVITA

Hotel

  • "This game-changing advertising communicates our innovative approach to meeting customers' needs, and requires an equally innovative medium in which to break through.  High-impact airport dioramas and grouped wall units enabled us to communicate that not only is something new happening at Marriott, but we're connecting with our guests in an equally unique fashion."

    Deborah Fell, Senior Vice President of Marketing Strategy, Marriott

Jewelry and Accessories

  • "We are very pleased with our advertising at the Miami International Airport, given the complexities associated with this project.  Dealing with [the Account Executive] and her team was a terrific experience, which we value very much.  Her perseverance with airport officials to get this up is truly commendable.  Showcasing our products on such grand scale and in such prominent locations is extremely valuable to us as it helps us reach our marketing goals."

    Virginie Perrelet, TechnoMarine - Miami

Services

    Blaine Banek, Corporate Communications Director, Strasburger and Price

Sport and Entertainment

  • "If you want to reach your fans, you need to know where to find them.  For our 10 YEARS VANDIT Marathon Show at Space during WMC, it was Miami's Airport! Music lovers, industry people, fans and party people flying in from all over the world had to pass our event promotion.  No better place, no better time."

    Paul Van Dyk, Vandit Records
  • "Advertising at MIA was a fabulous idea for us.  It increased Space Miami's national exposure and allowed us to target travelers who come to Miami for its hot nightlife.  We received hundreds of calls from people who saw our ads about a guest DJ we featured and the night was a killer success.  The investment we made in advertising with JCDecaux was minimal compared to the value we received in return!"

    Louis Puig, President/Owner, Club Space Miami

    David Abehsera, President/Chief Strategic Officer, Woo Agency
