The Importance of Visual Storytelling in DOOH Advertising
In a world where the average consumer is bombarded with upwards of 10,000 brand messages a day, cutting through the noise isn’t just important—it’s essential. And when it comes to making a memorable impact, few mediums can match the power of visual storytelling, especially in the realm of Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) advertising. Leveraging the ubiquity of 7-Eleven®, the iconic convenience store, we’ve crafted a network that delivers stories with precision and flair.
The Narrative of Convenience: 7-Eleven® and ATM.TV
Imagine a platform that greets you with a tale each time you walk in for your morning coffee or energy drink. That’s the daily reality for the customers at over 8,500 7-Eleven® stores across the U.S. where ATM.TV is present. With a footprint reaching five billion people annually, verified by GeoPath, these narratives aren’t just stories—they are experiences that engage, inform, and often delight.
Fun Fact: Did you know that 7-Eleven® was the first convenience store to operate 24 hours a day? This round-the-clock service aligns perfectly with the always-on nature of DOOH advertising.
Why Visual Storytelling Wins in DOOH
Visual storytelling in DOOH isn’t just about showing a product—it’s about weaving a narrative that resonates on an emotional level. It’s the difference between telling someone to buy a chocolate bar and showing them a story of friendship that just happens to feature that chocolate bar. It’s emotive, it’s compelling, it’s… memorable.
Trivia: Hersheys and Reeses, with their iconic brands, have utilized visual storytelling to not just sell a product, but to become part of life’s sweetest moments.
Consider the impact of a story told across the nation in a network of stores frequented by millions daily. Brands like AT&T, Goodyear, Lotto, Amazon, Hersheys, Reeses, and Chase Bank have harnessed this power. They’ve chosen to align with 7-Eleven® through ATM.TV not just for its reach, but for its ability to convey their narratives with stunning visuals that captivate an audience who is already there to engage.
Crafting the Perfect Story
Creating the perfect DOOH visual story requires a blend of art and science. It’s about understanding the audience, the context of their visit, and how to create a moment that sticks. It’s about timing, relevancy, and perhaps most importantly, authenticity.
The Art of Engagement
DOOH gives us the canvas, 7-Eleven® provides the gallery, and together, we create the art. It’s about more than just playing a video—it’s about capturing a slice of life, a moment in time that speaks to the heart of the consumer. These are more than ads; they’re mini-movies with plot twists that happen between the aisles.
The Science of Reach
With the right technology and data, stories can be tailored to the audience that walks through the doors of 7-Eleven® at any given moment. ATM.TV utilizes sophisticated targeting and analytics to ensure the stories being told aren’t just seen—they’re absorbed by the right people, at the right time.
Did You Know?: ATM.TV’s network is verified by GeoPath, ensuring advertisers have accurate data on how many eyes see their visual stories.
The Authenticity Factor
In Seth Godin’s style, let’s talk about the “purple cow” in the room: authenticity. In a landscape filled with ads, the ones that stand out are the most authentic. They’re the ones that don’t just sell a product, but sell a dream, an ideal, a slice of life. That’s what we aim for with every story we tell through ATM.TV.
The Bottom Line
In a world where attention is the ultimate currency, visual storytelling in DOOH advertising isn’t just another channel—it’s a necessity. And when you pair that with the reach and exposure of 7-Eleven®, you have a recipe for impact that few other platforms can provide.
