South China Morning Post Expands Outdoor Media Acquires Multiple Premium Sites in Hong Kong



 Hong Kong --Media OutReach--21 May 2014-- The South China Morning Post (SEHK: 583) today announced it had acquired multiple premium outdoor media sites in Hong Kong, and is actively working to acquire more sites to expand its thriving outdoor media unit to provide an even broader advertising portfolio for its advertiser base.

 

Formed in the second half of 2013, as an integral part of the SCMP Group's media portfolio, SCMP Outdoor Media Limited has managed one of Hong Kong 's most in-demand and visible outdoor billboards, namely "One Leighton Road", which has enjoyed the patronage of upper echelon advertisers such as Cartier, Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Van Cleef & Arpels to name a few.

 

Building on SCMP's reputation among top tier advertisers for its ability to consistently reach an affluent audience, SCMP Outdoor Media was successfully awarded as the exclusive billboard agent for the Top Glory Tower prime site in Causeway Bay which captures Hong Kong's affluent Island east-west bound traffic, and a rebuilt and expanded Jumbo Court Car Park site overlooking the Aberdeen Marina Club and neighbouring one of Hong Kong's most exclusive South Side residential districts, also affectionately known as Billionaire's Row.

 

Significantly, SCMP Outdoor Media won the government tender to exclusively manage all media space in the restricted area of the Macau Ferry Terminal in Central.  This important prime site acquisition gives SCMP total awareness domination for the terminal's daily footfall to and from Macau.  As a testament of its effectiveness and prominence in advertisers' media planning, SCMP Outdoor Media secured Sands China as its inaugural advertiser who seized the opportunity to reach an important captive audience to market its breadth of branded and luxury hotels and resorts offerings.

 

"The outdoor media segment has enjoyed steady year-on-year growth over the past 5 years, and the introduction of this new business unit is consistent with our Group's growth strategy.  Importantly, it is in line with our philosophy of only acquiring prime sites that complement our core base of elite advertising brands", noted Ms. Elsie Cheung, COO of SCMP Group.

 

"We expect our pace of prime site acquisition to continue, and are particularly pleased to have received the support of Sands China who have come on board as the inaugural advertiser of our latest transport network site, the Macau Ferry Terminal in Central", said Ms. Fiona Ching, Business Development Director responsible for the SCMP Outdoor Media business.

 

"With our prominent outdoor position at the Macau Ferry Terminal in Central, and when combined our full suite of print and digital advertising products such as the South China Morning Post, STYLE, and our latest acquisition -- the premium luxury magazine Destination Macau, we now provide the region's strongest Macau destination advertising solution for top tier brands looking to capture this thriving tourist hotspot both from a Chinese nationals and overseas visitors standpoint", stated Ms. Elsie Cheung.
