Following France and Belgium, JCDecaux signs a contract with Carrefour Group Brazil to bring DOOH media to the largest retailer in the country

Wednesday, April 26, 2023

JCDecaux SE (Euronext Paris: DEC), the outdoor advertising company worldwide, has signed a contract with Carrefour Group Brazil – the largest retailer in the country – focusing on a DOOH Retail Media offering that is enhanced by data analytics. JCDecaux’s has the largest national supply of street furniture in Brazil, with more than 18,000 advertising panels strategically positioned in 11 major cities.

From the second half of 2023, 300 new screens will be installed across the 90 hypermarkets, located in the States of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, the Federal District, Minas Gerais, Paraná, Rio Grande do Sul and Goiás. In addition to strengthening JCDecaux’s presence in the Southeast and opening up a new Out-of-Home environment, the partnership also marks the company’s entry to large cities in the South and Midwest, enabling JCDecaux to connect brands to the areas of Brazil which contribute most to the country’s national GDP.

Focused on high quality, targeted audiences, the new DOOH Retail Media offering aims to enhance the customer journey. It will deliver the best in-class international standards in OOH advertising for the Retail and the mass-market through the range of JCDecaux’s Data Solutions which helps advertisers to plan campaigns, engage audiences and measure performance to obtain the best results.

The offer also demonstrates JCDecaux’s ability to innovate in Brazil, delivering a virtuous ecosystem for the retailer, brands and customers, which is based on day-to-day analysis of anonymised transaction data. Cross-referenced with other data from platforms including metros and Street Furniture, JCDecaux will offer a combination of relevant data for advertisers, which is managed through a “Data as a service” approach to enable increasingly effective campaigns.

This new partnership strengthens JCDecaux’s DOOH Retail Media offering, which has already been introduced in several countries in the JCDecaux Group: in France, notably in Carrefour convenience stores and in Parisian department stores, in Belgium, in the 100 largest Carrefour stores, and in a retail network across the United Kingdom. In these markets and now in Brazil, JCDecaux will provide a comprehensive DOOH Retail Media solution, covering all stages of the value chain including the design, installation and maintenance of the digital screens, selection of locations to maximise and target audiences, media planning and marketing of the advertising space, campaign delivery and post-campaign analysis of conversion and performance.

Sam James, Chief Digital Officer of Carrefour Group Brazil, said: “For the Carrefour Group Brazil, signing a contract with JCDecaux is another important initiative to promote the digital transformation that will accelerate over the next 5 years. We are launching a new media channel, DOOH to our hypermarket store ecosystem, an opportunity that has never before been available in our market.”

Cristiana Leal, Director of Retail Media & Data Monetization at Carrefour Group Brazil, said: “This DOOH project for our hypermarket stores complements our Retail Media strategy. Bringing digital media to our galleries is a further step in digitising the shopping journey in stores, promoting targeted and relevant advertising messages to our consumers that will enhance their retail experience. When it came to this partnershipJCDecaux was the natural choice.

Ana Célia Biondi, General Director of JCDecaux Brazil, said: “This is an unprecedented step that marks the expansion of JCDecaux in Brazil. Thanks to the introduction of this new media solution, our clients will be able to build and strengthen their advertising strategies using the first 100% data-driven Retail Media solution to reach residents and visitors. Advertisers will be able to accompany audiences throughout their customer journey and to create contextually relevant campaigns in a completely new way. This type of solution, which is based on high-quality, targeted data, will help brands to meet their marketing goals“.

Jean-Charles Decaux, Chairman of the Executive Board and Co-CEO of JCDecaux, said: We are delighted to strengthen our partnership with Carrefour in Brazil, following the roll-out of our data-enhanced DOOH Retail Media solutions in the retailer’s French and Belgian stores. Our DOOH and data-driven solutions have proven effective in the multi-channel ecosystem of this global leading food retailer. Both digital and physical channels enable advertisers to communicate as close as possible to the point of purchase. DOOH is an effective solution because it launches campaigns using geolocated and contextualised transaction data, to drive responsiveness and boost sales. In line with our responsible commitments, JCDecaux will supply the most efficient screens with respect to quality, energy and lifespan, following the example of our digital solutions deployed in Brazil as well as other markets“.
