Amplifying a strategic rebranding through OOH activation.

Amplifying a strategic rebranding through OOH activation. Discover how Mapfre boosted brand awareness by +17 pts and consideration by +15 pts with a high-impact Madrid OOH campaign. A standout urban activation measured by JCDecaux and Episto that proves the real power of premium outdoor advertising. Challenges. Mapfre, a leading Spanish insurance and financial services group recognised for its broad range of protection, savings, and investment products, wished to showcase its new brand identity. The brand launched an Out-of-Home campaign linked to its rebranding initiative, aimed at amplifying brand awareness among a broad audience of individuals aged 18-60. JCDecaux Spain supported Mapfre in evaluating the effectiveness of OOH exposure across key brand metrics to gauge the overall impact of this strategy. Strategy. Mapfre ran a week-long OOH campaign in strategic Madrid districts, featuring a full takeover along the Castellana axis and Plaza de Colón. The activation combined a single digital creative with premium wrapped bus shelters, translucent panels, illuminated corporate-colored roofs, and a special wrapping at Nuevos Ministerios. To assess impact, JCDecaux Spain partnered with Episto to deploy a post-campaign online survey, gathering a total of 409 responses: 105 non-exposed and 304 exposed. Respondents were classified as exposed or non-exposed based on the proximity of their mobile device IDs to the activated panels. The survey focused on brand awareness, consideration, ad recall, ad branding, and overall ad perception. Results. The campaign successfully delivered on its main objective, with 88% of respondents recognising the brand and a remarkable +17 pts uplift in brand awareness among those exposed to the OOH campaign. Driven by strong creative execution and an exceptional deployment of premium wrapped bus shelters, the campaign generated high engagement and ad recall rates. This led to a strong ad branding score, with 75% of respondents associating the campaign with Mapfre. Beyond driving visibility, the campaign generated strong commercial intent, with 51% of respondents stating they would choose Mapfre over competitors, representing a +15 pts uplift in brand consideration among those exposed to the activation. These results confirm the success of Mapfre's rebranding initiative and its new brand identity, demonstrating that the OOH strategy was highly effective in boosting both brand recognition and consumer consideration. 5th October 2026

Mario Guzmán appointed new marketing director of JCDecaux Spain.

Mario Guzmán appointed new marketing director of JCDecaux Spain. * Mario Guzmán takes over as marketing director of JCDecaux Spain after more than eight years of experience within the Group, where until now he held the same position in Mexico. * He replaces Ricardo Pérez Valcárcel, who will be appointed general director of JCDecaux Mexico. Madrid, October 1, 2026. JCDecaux, the global leader in outdoor advertising, has announced the appointment of Mario Guzmán Garza as the new marketing director of JCDecaux Spain. Guzmán already holds the position from the Madrid office and will report directly to Carlos Barón, general director of JCDecaux Spain. Mario Guzmán has more than eight years of experience within JCDecaux. He joined the company in 2018 as marketing manager of JCDecaux Mexico and, in 2021, was promoted to marketing director. He is now starting a new professional stage in Spain with the aim of continuing the excellent work carried out by Ricardo Pérez Valcárcel. Before joining JCDecaux, Guzmán developed his professional career in the field of fast-moving consumer goods and brand management. He began his career in 2012 at PepsiCo as brand coordinator. Later, in 2015, he was appointed brand manager of St. Regis in Mexico and, a year later, he joined ACH Food Companies as brand manager of Twinings. Before joining JCDecaux, he also led the marketing and commercialization strategy for Aladino, the popular peanut butter brand in Mexico. A graduate in international marketing from the University of Monterrey, his experience in both brand building and management and in the media field gives him a comprehensive vision of the advertising ecosystem and of advertisers' needs to continue driving outdoor advertising in Spain. "I face this new stage with great enthusiasm and with the opportunity to bring to the Spain office all the learning accumulated during these years at the firm. The market is experiencing a moment of enormous transformation, and from the marketing department we want to continue working very closely with advertisers and agencies, understanding their needs and highlighting all the possibilities offered by outdoor advertising to continue building brands and connecting with people," says Mario Guzmán, new marketing director of JCDecaux Spain. Mario's appointment is part of an internal succession within the Group, as Ricardo Pérez Valcárcel, until now marketing director in Spain, will take over as general director of JCDecaux in Mexico effective December 1, 2026. In the words of Ricardo Pérez, "I close this stage at JCDecaux Spain with deep and sincere gratitude. It has been an enormous privilege to be part of this office, and I want to thank wholeheartedly the entire team that makes it up. Thanks to their talent and daily dedication, our subsidiary has become a true pillar within the Group. Furthermore, I am leaving this project in the best possible hands. I know Mario very well, I know the great vision he has, and I am absolutely convinced that he will guide the department toward new successes." For his part, Carlos Barón, general director of JCDecaux Spain, has stated that "Mario's joining our team in Spain reflects our commitment to internal talent and to sharing knowledge and experience among the Group's different markets. His career within JCDecaux, together with his knowledge of brands, advertisers and outdoor advertising, will be key to continuing to strengthen our value proposition in Spain." At the same time, Barón wanted to thank Ricardo Pérez for the excellent work carried out during these years leading marketing at JCDecaux Spain, as well as his contribution to the company's growth and evolution: "we wish him every success in this new stage, where we are sure he will continue to contribute all his knowledge and experience to the Group."

This year, the awards were decided by a jury of experts and a vote by professionals from across the industry (through a major survey by research company OpinionWay). By awarding JCDecaux the Grand Prix des Régies 2026 and Best Out-of-Home Media Partner 2026, the CB News jury and the market have recognised the strength, transformation and innovation of JCDecaux's Out-of-Home media. Powerful and effective, JCDecaux's media enhances the cityscape, providing mass reach and targeting, capturing attention, prompting conversations and creating an impact. JCDecaux's continued innovation is driving outcomes for brands and agencies across some of the most iconic urban centres. Supported by a diversified inventory that covers all territories and all audiences, and available programmatically, JCDecaux stands out as a brandformance media, able - thanks to data - to generate measurable results for brands and agencies. JCDecaux provides its clients, agencies and advertisers with an integrated suite of tools enhanced by AI.

With an estimated 6.74 billion impressions and US$64.2 million in earned media value, the campaign demonstrated the ability of the JCDecaux media to create events that go viral and that amplify digital performance.

I am delighted that JCDecaux's creative strength has been showcased with the Céline Dion campaign, which transformed public space into the first stage for a global event, generating conversation, instant reach and emotion." Jean-Charles Decaux, Chairman of the Executive Board and Co-Chief Executive Officer of JCDecaux, said: "We would like to extend our warmest thanks to CB News, to the jury of experts, to all the professionals in the market who voted for us, as well as to our clients - agencies and advertisers. We are honoured by their trust and loyalty. This inspires us to keep innovating to support them ever more effectively as the media landscape evolves, to remain their preferred partner.

GPT opens 51 Flinders Ln as Firmus and JCDecaux join East End's new-economy precinct.

GPT opens 51 Flinders Ln as Firmus and JCDecaux join East End's new-economy precinct. 03/09/2026 September 3, 2026 - The GPT Group (GPT) today officially opened 51 Flinders Ln, its $555 million office development in Melbourne's East End, announcing AI infrastructure company Firmus Technologies (Firmus) and global out-of-home media company JCDecaux as the latest businesses to commit to the precinct. Firmus will occupy a whole floor on Level 14, establishing its first Melbourne office at 51 Flinders Ln. JCDecaux is relocating its Melbourne team from St Kilda Road to a whole floor on Level 9, committing to a 10-year lease - reinforcing the continued consolidation of technology, media and professional services occupiers into premium CBD precincts. Both join hyperscale data centre specialist AirTrunk, also establishing its first Melbourne office at the precinct, alongside WPP, FM and Koda Capital. The resulting tenant mix - spanning AI, cloud and digital infrastructure, out-of-home media, professional services and financial services - reflects the precinct's emergence as a destination for businesses at the forefront of Melbourne's new economy. Matthew Brown, Head of Office at The GPT Group, said the calibre of occupiers choosing the precinct reflects the strength of GPT's office platform and the East End's continued evolution as a commercial destination. "From AI and digital infrastructure businesses through to global media and professional services firms, the companies choosing 51 Flinders Ln are helping shape Melbourne's next phase of economic growth," said Brown. "We continue to see strong demand from businesses seeking highly connected, amenity-rich workplaces in premium CBD locations, particularly from sectors where connectivity, collaboration and access to talent are critical to long-term growth." Nicole Reid, Chief People Officer at Firmus, said, "Melbourne is an important market for Firmus as we continue to expand our AI infrastructure across Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. Establishing a presence at 51 Flinders Ln provides our team with a highly connected base in the centre of Melbourne, supporting collaboration, access to talent and closer engagement with customers and partners." 51 Flinders Ln comprises a 14-level North Tower and 39-level South Tower, delivering approximately 27,500 sqm of A-Grade office space alongside 1,000 sqm of hospitality amenity connected by a new pedestrian laneway linking Flinders Street and Flinders Lane. The development has achieved WiredScore Platinum certification, recognising 51 Flinders Ln as a best-in-class digitally connected workplace with technology infrastructure suited to the operational requirements of AI, cloud, media and digital infrastructure businesses. The precinct's ground-floor hospitality offering will progressively open from late 2026, anchored by acclaimed Chef Alejandro Saravia's flagship venue, Masia, alongside a curated mix of day-to-evening operators. The opening comes amid strong leasing momentum across GPT's national office portfolio, with more than 78,500 sqm1 secured in the first half of 2026, including 19,800 sqm across Melbourne. Demand also continues at GPT's neighbouring workplace, 8 Exhibition St, where wealth manager Insignia Financial recently committed to a 10-year lease across 8,400 sqm2. Connected to 51 Flinders Ln via the new laneway, the two workplaces will form an integrated East End commercial precinct. The official opening of 51 Flinders Ln was marked today alongside the Lord Mayor of Melbourne Nicholas Reece, with project partners, tenant customers and industry stakeholders in attendance. * Includes Heads of Agreement, 100% sqm basis. * Heads of Agreement executed in 2025 and reflected in GPT's 2025 Annual Result Release ID: 89202328 If you detect any issues, problems, or errors in this press release content, kindly contact [email protected] to notify Ohsem.me (it is important to note that this email is the authorized channel for such matters, sending multiple emails to multiple addresses does not necessarily help expedite your request).
