Using the dynamic targeting of PumpTopTV's 11,000 digital displays in nearly 50 markets, the campaign will run in high allergy markets across [image-nocss] the country.
The Halls ad campaign uses the Weather I.Q. product via a web feed from AccuWeather.com that was customized for Outcast to display a high or low pollen count for each zip code. Dynamic content is then triggered by the feed to create a more informative and relevant experience for drivers filling up at a PumpTopTV-outfitted gas station.
The new Halls/Outcast campaign can only be viewed at PumpTopTV-outfitted gas stations and will highlight that Halls can help relieve cough and sore throat symptoms caused by allergies. At the end of the commercial viewers will see a five-second spot that indicates a currently high or low pollen count in that area urging consumers to pick up some Halls today or to stock up for a high pollen count day.
"With the exciting launch of our new Weather I.Q. product, the Halls campaign is a prime example of how advertisers can utilize the power of PumpTopTV's strategic targeting to localize content and create a more relevant consumer experience. Our on-the-go audience is most susceptible to outdoor allergens, so we're excited to partner with Halls to help allergy sufferers better manage symptoms," said Nathan Gill, chief revenue officer of Outcast.
"We wanted to communicate the benefits of Halls during allergy season and to reach consumers when they were on-the-go, running errands, and possibly looking for allergy symptom relief of cough and sore throat symptoms," said Lori Mazuro, senior associate brand manager.
"PumpTopTV and the new Weather I.Q. product was the ideal partner for this campaign because they can connect with consumers on the path to purchase and communicate applicable information about Halls and specific allergy cough and sore throat symptom relief for that day and that specific location."
Halls is a top-selling U.S. cough drop brand, available in Regular and Sugar Free. Halls offers a variety of products including Halls Naturals, Halls Defense (also available in Sugar Free), Halls Breezers (also available in Sugar Free), Halls Plus and new Halls Refresh.
