OOH Ads Target Homeowners, Renters, and Students 


The Swedish furniture and home goods giant is making a name for itself in one North America’s largest urban markets. Ikea is driving awareness, online traffic, and in-store visits to two of its Chicagoland stores with large format digital billboards along two major expressways. 

As a store most often accessed via driving, Ikea assessed that roadside billboards would be the most effective means of reaching an audience of veteran and potential shoppers. With 52 total screens covering all of Chicago’s major expressways leading both into Downtown and out towards its sprawling suburbs, Ikea leveraged JCDecaux’s in-house data solutions to determine the most effective ad placements.

JCDecaux data solutions indicate visitor journeys 


In its prior activation, an analysis using Placer.ai mobile signal data identified top origin zip codes among visitors to the Schaumburg and Bolingbrook Ikea stores. With this information, our team was then able to determine which JCDecaux roadside digital billboards could reach the highest percentage of drivers coming from these zip codes.

The result was an impactful OOH activation based on a strategically curated location list of digital billboards along the Stevenson, Kennedy, and Eisenhower Expressways. Meanwhile, its current campaign targets our most high-profile screens at key expressway choke points- leveraging constant traffic flow from morning to night.
