Outdoor media owner Clear Channel has today announced the return of MyTown, the UK’s biggest outdoor exhibition of street photography. The competition, which showcases the work of UK photographers, celebrates the diversity and uniqueness of our local towns and cities.
Public awareness of sustainability and environmental issues is growing fast – the ongoing damage caused to our planet is often touted as the biggest risk facing us all. So we took the opportunity to sit down with our Environmental & Sustainability Manager Martin Page to find out what steps Clear Channel, and the wider Out of Home (OOH) industry, are doing to play its part.
Leading Out of Home (OOH) media owner Clear Channel tonight announced their ambitious plans for the coming 12 months at their annual Upfronts event, including a number of new and re-invigorated projects, as well declaring their position as the home of UK’s largest digital OOH network.
David Hill, the newly promoted Producer in the Clear Channel Create Team, talks about the exciting role his team play in the Out of Home industry and how his time within the Tech Team gives him unique insight into new creative opportunities.
93% of UK households have internet access and 83% of people own a smartphone – yet online grocery retail makes up only 6.7% of total grocery sales. People continue to shop in physical stores and Mintel predicts that online grocery shopping will only make up 10% of total sales come 2022. We asked why? With a nationally representative sample of 1000 shoppers we explored the reasons for continuing to visit large supermarkets in the age of convenience and the importance of our digital screens in those shopping trips.
On the 7th July, Pride in London will see 40,000+ people parade through central London - no small feat to plan, organise and deliver, I’m sure you’ll agree. I've had the pleasure of attending Pride for the past few years, both as a participant and a spectator, and it's one of best days of the year. The whole of London feels energetic, colourful and alive and it can’t help but bring a smile to my face. It's a celebration, but it's also a protest, a stand, a demonstration. It's many different things to many different people, but the one thing that it does universally is provide a platform for anyone to tell their story. The theme of this year’s event is, by its design, all inclusive: #PrideMatters.
This month saw Clear Channel return to the annual Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. Clear Channel has now sponsored the event for 9 years; the largest annual gathering for the creative and marketing communications, entertainment, design and tech industries.
