JCDecaux has revealed a multimillion-dollar investment at T3 Domestic terminal as Sydney Airport appoints the company as its exclusive advertising partner across all domestic and international terminals for the first time.
The outdoor player will launch more than 60 new digital and static opportunities at T3 that capture the premium Qantas travelling audience.
In addition, JCDecaux now has the exclusive advertising rights for Sydney Airport’s terminals 1, 2 and 3, plus the external arrivals and departures areas and aerobridges.
The newest advertising assets at Sydney Airport’s T3, which will launch on 22 July, providing new advertising opportunities for brands to connect with business and luxury travellers.
“Our new portfolio in Sydney Airport’s T3 and the highly desirable Qantas audience, transforms the advertiser offering in the airport environment," JCDecaux chief marketing officer Essie Wake says.
"This audience is four times more likely to be the highest socio-economic AB group, two times more likely to be business travellers and three times more likely to have incomes of more than $100,000, making them a valuable and captive audience for advertisers.”
Sydney Airport’s T3 Domestic is home to Australia’s iconic airline Qantas that boasts almost 13 million frequent flyers.
This new portfolio will connect with Qantas travellers at every touchpoint of their airport terminal journey, from check-in, concourse, gate lounges, baggage collection and the external airport arrivals areas.
More than 50% of visitors to Australia arrive in Sydney, with an 83% increase since 2000 to 44.4 million people in 2018, comprising 27.7 domestic and 16.7 million international passengers.
JCDecaux will use its own Orbit geo-demographic data to reveal where the Sydney Airport audience lives and other socio-economic data, plus its Codex transactional data both at the airport precinct and beyond.
“The sheer scale, quality and impact of our new asset portfolio at Sydney Airport’s terminals and surrounds really are a showcase offering for advertisers," JCDecaux chief commercial officer Max Eburne says.
"It presents powerful opportunities for advertisers to connect with captive and valuable audiences within a world-class digital terminal environment,”
With 45 minutes average dwell time at T3, JCDecaux’s Pigeon Project found that 90% of airport travellers have considered or researched a product or service as a result of seeing advertising in an airport. Eight in 10 use their device to learn more while in the airport environment.
JCDecaux is the second major outdoor player to ramp up its investment in airport advertising this week.
