Clear Channel Airports Wins 2013 International Digital Signage Award for Interactivity

Clear Channel Outdoor Recognized For Pioneering Efforts in Interactive Digital Out-of-Home Advertising

ALLENTOWN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Today Clear Channel Airports (CCA) and Clear Channel Outdoor Canada announced, in collaboration with strategic partners, Digital Factory and the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA), they won the 2013 International Digital Signage Award for Interactivity for providing the platform for GE Canada’s ground-breaking execution of “Mine Flight.” This Toronto Pearson International Airport advertising attraction used Clear Channel Airport’s innovative digital signage technologies to engage air passengers in an interactive and immersive flying experience.

The Digital Signage Awards are representative of the world's most excellent digital screen media projects, creativity, content and technology.

“GE Canada leveraged the minds of Digital Factory and Clear Channel Airport’s immersive digital technologies to propel ‘Mine Flight’ in the Toronto Pearson International Airport,” said Sergio Pulla, senior manager, advertising and partnership, Greater Toronto Airports Authority. “And this is emblematic of how digital advertising throughout the GTAA can help brands connect with business and leisure travelers, on a greater, more meaningful level, than ever before.”

Belgium-based company, Brandfirst, created the hands free gesture technology used in the five meter high interactive Mine Flight video wall display (nine full HD screens combined).

“Working collaboratively with fearless agencies like BBDO and the Digital Factory to generate great results for GE Canada and also garnering international recognition is inherently rewarding, but it is also one more proof point demonstrating how Clear Channel is securing its place as an industry leader amidst the digital out-of-home advertising revolution,” said Toby Sturek, executive vice president, specialty businesses, Clear Channel Outdoor.
