This year, once again, Primedia Outdoor celebrated Valentine's Day in the most memorable way with its unique #PrimediaBigLove campaign. The #PrimediaBigLove campaign invited the public to send their loved ones, whether a partner, family, friend or colleagues, a love message on Twitter or Facebook and then have their message flighted instantaneously onto Primedia Outdoor's roadside and mall digital screens nationally.

The socially-driven digital out-of-home (DOOH) campaign delivered a new way for people to share a sentiment with loved ones and participants were rewarded with a proof of flighting image which is shared via social media and featured their public declaration of love posted onto the big screen.
