JCDecaux

JCDecaux UK reaches millions of people every day with products and services that enhance people’s lives, spark conversations and brighten cityscapes. It all started over 50 years ago, when Jean-Claude Decaux had an idea that would change cities across the world – to provide and maintain bus shelters free of charge – paid for by the advertising posters displayed on them.

Today, JCDecaux UK supplies and maintains advertising posters and digital screens in airport, rail, retail and roadside environments that benefit the public, cities, transport partners, clients and brands.

The business is built on the provision of two services: public information, and public amenities.

JCDecaux works with local government partners to help improve infrastructure and communication opportunities for their communities, including supporting the drives for technology provision and environmental responsibility. And JCDecaux UK’s revenues are also returned to partners and municipalities through rents and rates, providing valuable revenue streams to be reinvested in transport networks and local communities.

At the same time, councils can take advantage of the democratic, universally accessible broadcast communication channels provided by the company’s Out-of-Home (OOH) and Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) media. These provide councils with inclusive, broad message reach, proven to raise awareness and encourage behaviour change in public sector campaigns, helping to achieve strategic priorities, promote initiatives and signpost services.

CAN

CAN is a public sector advertising agency. It specialises in reducing  cost per outcome for public sector communications.

CAN does this by:

• Generating income for public sector organisations from advertising that aligns with public policy. This income can then be invested to bolster tight comms budgets. So far, the public sector has leveraged £7.5 million this way.
• Making use of council-owned channels (website, email and out of home) and audiences to improve campaign performance free of charge.
• Collating and analysing service and thematic data sets to better define the problems that need to be solved through campaigns and meaningfully measuring the impact of communications: like this evaluation of our Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Covid-19 Vaccine campaigns.
• Designing and delivering programmatic campaigns that reduce waste and improve performance.

Everything CAN does is designed to be net cost negative.
