Clear Channel Outdoor's New Digital Billboard Provides Local Businesses a Dynamic Way to Reach Millions of Seattle Consumers

State-of-the Art Digital Advertising Technology Benefits Seattle Area Advertisers and the City of Tukwila

Seattle, WA -- January 22, 2013 – Clear Channel Outdoor Seattle/Tacoma today announced the launch of its new digital billboard in the City of Tukwila.  This new digital sign provides Seattle area advertisers with a dynamic channel to reach over 110,000 residents and visitors to the Seattle area each week.

The newest digital billboard in the Seattle marketplace is located on the northeast corner of the West Valley Highway and SW 43rd Street intersection, at the entrance to Southcenter Westfield Mall. The billboard is located in the region’s largest shopping district and the epicenter of its retail activity in the south Seattle suburbs. 

“Clear Channel Outdoor is committed to enabling Seattle area businesses to more easily connect their brands, products and services with customers,” said Pam Guinn, Clear Channel Outdoor’s Seattle/Tacoma President. “The new digital billboard at Southcenter is an excellent example of how we worked with the City of Tukwila to utilize city land in a way to help local business and the city communicate critical information to the people of Seattle.”

The power of this digital sign is being leveraged this week alone by Seattle businesses including Wally Park, Korum Automotive, Valley Medical and Fiat of Seattle/Southcenter. The flexibility of digital billboard design allows for the easy adjustment of creative and messaging, allowing businesses the ability to nimbly adapt their campaigns to consumer needs and marketplace developments. This unique capability is unique in advertising and enables businesses to announce new products offerings and promote limited-time specials in real time.

The advent of the new digital sign is due in part to a public/private partnership with the City of Tukwila.  As a result of this agreement, the city will be able to use the new digital sign to post community messages and public safety alerts as needed.  These messages can help the community during serious weather situations or disasters such as an earthquake, as well as support law enforcement through Amber Alerts or FBI Wanted messages.   In addition, the digital sign is located on city-owned property, which means the City of Tukwila will receive revenue for use of this land by Clear Channel Outdoor.

Clear Channel Outdoor's New ClearVISION TV Network Goes Live in Time for Travelers in New Orleans for the Big Game

Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport Offers Entertainment, News and Sports Programming from More Than 140 Content Partners as Part of its Modernization Program, Just In Time for the Football Championship

New York, NY– January 15, 2013 --  Clear Channel Airports (CCA), a division of Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:CCO), and the world's leading marketer of airport advertising, today announced that travelers heading to Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport for this year's Football Championship will be among the first to experience the new ClearVision airport television network. Featuring national and local news, music and sports from more than 140 content partners, ClearVision is a dynamic and new entertainment network that enhances travelers' airport experience. The installation of ClearVision is part of Louis Armstrong International Airport's $356 million modernization program.

"New Orleans is one of the greatest tourist, business and sports destinations in the world. ClearVision will help Louis Armstrong International Airport deliver the most enjoyable experience possible for travelers coming to the Big Easy for the big game, and also to the millions of passengers that visit the airport each year," said Clear Channel Airports' President Toby Sturek. "In addition to making the visitors' experience even better, ClearVision provides the airport and local businesses with an unprecedented opportunity to communicate with these travelers about the city of New Orleans and the amazing products and services available."

ClearVision programming features customized, shortened versions of popular network shows, called "minisodes," which are ideal for entertaining the 8.5 million business and leisure air travelers who visit the airport each year.

Unlike its only in-airport television competitor, CNN Airport, ClearVision offers an entertaining mix of programming through its growing network of well-known content partners, such as:

Entertainment
Access Hollywood, Bravo, CelebTV, C-Net, Cooking Channel, E!, DIY, Game Show Network, HGTV, Style Network, Travel Channel, Funimation

National and local news sources
ABC, Associated Press, CBS, Dow Jones, Freshwire, FOX Business News, NBC, WSJ, Weather Channel

Music
Blastro Networks, Billboard magazine, FILTER magazine, VH1, Universal Music Group, Columbia Records, Disney Records

Sports
Golf Channel, Indycar, LPGA, MLB, NAUTICAL CHANNEL, NBC Sports, PGA Tour, Universal Sports

"Consumers' growing desire for fast, compact video information and entertainment is particularly keen at airports; ClearVision's 'minisodes' directly address this opportunity," added Sturek. "ClearVision now gives travelers a new and more varied video entertainment option while waiting in the airport. Its launch represents a huge step in delivering the information and entertainment that travelers constantly want while also providing advertisers a dynamic platform for reaching engaged audiences."

In addition to entertaining travelers, ClearVision offers both national and local businesses with a unique advertising medium for promoting products and services to the most valuable consumers – frequent travelers. On the local side, ClearVision is ideal for airports of cities seeking to promote hometown businesses and tourism in order to lift sales tax revenue and encourage repeat visits.  Additionally, ClearVision gives airports the capability to incorporate customized messages within the programmed content, helping them to better connect with visitors and enhance their experience. The New Orleans airport has utilized the custom messaging feature to add a welcome message from Mayor Mitch Landrieu.

"While other Airports may pay for this type of service, the arrangement that our team has negotiated with Clear Channel to air ClearVision at MSY will cost us nothing. In fact, it actually will increase our non-airline revenues which should help decrease airline costs thus enabling airlines to bring more seats to New Orleans," said Iftikhar Ahmad, Armstrong International Airport Director of Aviation.

ClearVision was created through a partnership between Clear Channel Airports and connectiVISION Digital Networks, a leading digital media company. Together, these companies are building momentum among U.S. airports and transforming in-airport advertising.

"ClearVision helps airports bring more modern entertainment to travelers by offering engaging and entertaining programming that people know and want," said David Tetreault, chief operating officer at ClearVision/connectiVISION TV Networks. "We are excited to launch ClearVision with Louis Armstrong International Airport just in time for the biggest advertising event of the year.  I can think of no better way to debut the service and bring attention to this valuable new platform for advertisers.  We look forward to working with our content partners and airports around the country to enhance the in-airport experience for passengers while also creating new business."

"My enthusiasm for the potential of the new ClearVision TV Network is strongly supported in the interest we've seen among airports and the shear size of our initial daily, weekly, monthly and annual audience," said Henry Mauriss, CEO of ClearVision/connectiVISION TV Networks.  "We will soon be announcing a second ClearVision installation at another international airport and with just two important airports initially, we will kick off this venture with more than 50,000 daily passengers, 1.5 million monthly passengers, and 18 million annual passengers, which translates to more than 60 million annual impressions.  The prestige and heft of our highly affluent audience points to a compelling advertising platform as ClearVision scales in 2013."

(NYSE: CCO), one of the world’s largest outdoor advertising companies, today announced the hiring of Suzanne Grimes as President and Chief Operating Officer of Clear Channel Outdoor Americas (CCOA), effective January 1, 2013.  In this role she will be responsible for all of CCO’s business in the U.S. and Canada, and will report to William Eccleshare, CEO of CCO.

Grimes, a highly-regarded executive with a 25-year history in the media business, will head the CCOA Executive Committee, which guides CCOA’s overall corporate strategy in North America, and she will lead the CCOA team of sales, marketing, creative, real estate and operations professionals to showcase how out-of-home marketing is one of the most affordable and effective solutions for advertisers. 

Grimes also will sit on CCO's Global Leadership Group, which directs the worldwide strategic direction of the parent company, collaborating with Eccleshare and his team to advance a global program to accelerate growth.

Grimes’ appointment aligns with CCO’s aggressive moves to transform the company into a leading global advertising business, with investment in new digital technology and out-of-home storytelling that provides local, national, and global advertisers with unique opportunities to cut through the saturated media environment.

Grimes previously served as President of the U.S. Lifestyle Communities group at Reader’s Digest Association, transforming a multi-platform portfolio of assets including allrecipes.com, Every Day with Rachael Ray and the Taste of Home family of brands, and driving revenue growth and significant margin improvement. She also led the Reader’s Digest business units in Canada and India, and served on the Reader’s Digest Association Executive Committee.

Prior to Reader’s Digest, Grimes spent a decade at Condé Nast, where she led the corporate sales team responsible for advertising sales across a portfolio of 30 powerful consumer magazine brands and related digital businesses. Earlier at Condé Nast, she served as vice president and publisher of Women’s Sports & Fitness, Allure and Glamour magazines.

Before Condé Nast, Grimes served at News Corp as senior vice president and publisher of TV Guide, expanding their local advertising proposition to attract sophisticated national advertising partners. She also sat on the Executive Committee that transformed TV Guide magazine into a multi-platform resource for consumers.

“Suzanne is a star in the media and advertising industries, and we are delighted that she will bring her abilities and energy to Clear Channel Outdoor to support our drive to be a leading global advertising business,” said Mr. Eccleshare. “Her decision to join our dynamic team highlights outdoor advertising’s immense potential to connect consumers to brands in a very real way, clearly impacting their perceptions of advertisers’ brands and products.  Her depth of experience and leadership skills will be invaluable to Clear Channel Outdoor.”

“It’s a dynamic time in the media industry, with massive changes rippling through the industry.  But the out-of-home business stands out with its unique promise and potential,” said Grimes.  “I’m thrilled to join William and the high caliber leadership team at Clear Channel to help shape and realize their strategic vision for the future.  CCO’s scale, immediacy and efficiency, its global footprint, and its extraordinary advances in digital technology can be a game changer for major marketers.  I’m incredibly excited to lead the talented CCOA team and drive that change.”

NEW YORK – October 18, 2012 – Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CCO), one of the world’s largest outdoor advertising companies, today announced the appointment of Vicki Lins as Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer for Clear Channel Outdoor Americas (CCOA).  An advertising industry veteran with more than twenty years’ experience, Lins brings an expertise in building and distinguishing brands, a strong track record of strategic market development and growth, and an in-depth understanding of the transformational impact of technology on media and advertising to her new role at Clear Channel Outdoor.

Lins will lead the marketing strategy and execution for the CCOA business, and will also serve as a member of the CCOA Executive Committee which guides the overall corporate strategy in North America.  Additionally, she will liaise with Clear Channel Outdoor’s global marketing organization to collaborate for the ongoing distinction of the company’s brand in markets worldwide.

Lins joins CCOA after 15 years in the cable TV industry where she served in leadership positions with Comcast and its advanced advertising initiative, Canoe Ventures.  As Senior Vice President of Marketing and Communications with Comcast, Lins led the development of a cohesive national marketing organization for Comcast’s local ad sales business after the company’s rapid, acquisition-powered growth which positioned it as the largest cable TV company in the nation.  Lins received accolades for her accomplishments at Comcast which included the rebranding of the company’s advertising business as Comcast Spotlight.  Following this success, Lins was tapped to lead Marketing at Canoe Ventures which helped to further the evolution of national advertising on television by increasing the awareness of cable’s new technology capabilities and by creating a forum for industry-wide collaboration which included television programmers, their advertisers and the vast collection of advertising agencies and creative thinkers, industry organizations, and technology innovators who continue to evolve the TV medium.  Prior to Comcast, Lins led marketing and communications for Adlink, the nation’s largest interconnect, where she developed the “It’s Targeted TV” campaign successfully repositioning the industry for exponential growth,  and prior to her tenure in cable, she held marketing roles at GTE and AirTouch Cellular.

“In my career, I have always appreciated the important role that out-of-home advertising can play in building brands; and in different organizations, it has often been an important part of my own mix.  I am thrilled at the opportunity to now lead CCOA’s marketing during an important inflection point in media and advertising which is triggered by digital technologies that are evolving consumer behaviors,” said Lins.  “I firmly believe that out-of-home will not only continue to hold its place with marketers, but also grow to increased importance. Clear Channel Outdoor is a leader in the industry. I look forward to being a part of its continuing evolution and to helping our clients’ brands meet people.”

Taking Off with the Best of Television

ClearVision builds on Clear Channel Outdoor’s creative momentum in the Out of Home marketplace. The company is the international leader in the development and operation of digital displays and networks with over 1,600 digital billboards in nearly 30 countries worldwide, including the U.S.  Clear Channel Outdoor is also the industry-wide leader in creating high-profile, one-of-a-kind advertising vehicles (billboards, super signs, and special events) in iconic, high-traffic locations that include New York City’s Times Square, the Las Vegas Strip, and London’s Piccadilly Circus.
 
“ClearVision will forever change the air travel experience for passengers and enhance the way the airport and advertisers engage with customers,” said Clear Channel Airports President Toby Sturek. “For the first time, there is a content-driven, consumer-oriented offering available to airports that can deliver travelers a wide range of news and entertainment wherever they are in an airport—on traditional TV screens or their mobile devices.”

“Our goal,” said David Tetreault, Chief Marketing Officer at connectiVISION, “is to provide travelers—especially frequent business travelers—a diverse, 20-hour-a-day programming lineup of top network shows, news, weather, and sports while enabling airports to deliver a customized TV station with local flare and programming. This unique Away-From-Home television solution is the first of its kind to provide premium programming designed to target, reach, and engage a world on-the-go.”

Licensed ClearVision content can be transformed into short-form “mini-sodes” that will be woven together with local programming to create a localized sense of place for airport passengers and visitors.

ClearVision will also feature innovative and adaptive airport promotions that will provide passengers with relevant concession promotions through pop-up advertisements.
