Val Morgan Outdoor launches next-gen screens at iconic World Square
Val Morgan Outdoor (VMO) has secured an exclusive large format tender with next generation, iconic screens at one of Sydney’s key retail, commuter and entertainment destinations, World Square. With market leading technology, VMO will deliver the ultimate immersive experience in the form of truly intelligent, curved internal LED screens and a hero screen spanning 8 metres by 2 metres that can be seen from Sydney’s busy George street.
Always engaging and always on, VMO’s world class digital suite of seven newly installed large format screens are designed for attention, rising above any chaos to capture traffic flow through major entry and exit points, as well as escalators leading to key retailers. The iconic screens are up to five times greater in quality alone than most digital LED shopping centre screens and have been positioned to maximise audience impact, giving brands a premium opportunity to reach customers who are in close proximity to their products.
From early morning coffee to evening explorations and everything in between, World Square encompasses more than 100 food, fashion, entertainment, and essential service offerings in one buzzing key retail precinct. Spanning three levels, World Square is at a crossroad of global cultures, with events inspired by both Western and Eastern calendars such as Lunar New Year and Vivid Sydney a big draw card for residents, Sydneysiders, CBD workers and tourists alike.
With an annual footfall of near 29 million consumer visits during a regular trading year, the VMO World Square network is an opportunity for brands who want to target affluent residents, commuters and shoppers. This premium shopping destination is renowned for attracting ‘big spenders’, with 40% of people passing through the area spending a high portion of their income on luxuries. *
