Out-of-home trends for 2013

• In the out of home sector we will see the formation of smaller networked-agencies with teams structured to client's specific needs and the bringing together best-in-class per project. There will be an increased movement of key marketing heads into agency lead roles and vice versa.
• Every campaign will now have a digital component to it and in many cases it will lead the communications platform.
• We will see many specialist media agencies partnering with specialist creative agencies offering through the line integrated communications solutions to clients.
• The key challenge in 2013 for both agencies and media alike will be EFFECTIVE MEASUREMENT, which provides an accurate ROI measure across highly integrated campaigns.
• 'Mass-customisation' will continue to grow and move brands from appealing to all, to making the consumer feel that the brand is speaking directly to them.
• Consumers will continue to have even more power to influence brand success, or failure, than ever before.
• We will also see a continued increase in 'open-source' consumer participation that ultimately shapes and defines the behaviour of a brand, product or service.
