Pivot Media Ventures & Ballyhoo Media Unveil State-of-the-Art Digital Advertising Network at the Colman Dock Ferry Terminal, Seattle Outdoor Advertising

Innovation meets tradition in the nation’s largest ferry system, just in time for the holiday season.

Seattle, WA – [November 13, 2023]Washington State Ferries (WSF), in partnership with Pivot Media Ventures and Ballyhoo Media, and Trans4Media, is proud to unveil the launch of a digital advertising network at Colman Dock Ferry Terminal. This initiative is part of a $489 million state investment to transform Colman Dock into a modern, efficient transit hub. The new digital advertising program positions Colman Dock as a leading venue for transit advertising, serving both the local Seattle community and a broader audience of brands.

Located in the heart of Downtown Seattle on Alaskan Way, Colman Dock plays a vital role in a ferry network that transports 24 million people annually. As the largest ferry system in the nation, this remarkable step towards digital out of home marks a transition for a system that has solely featured static advertising. 

With plans for ten food and retail vendors, the terminal is becoming a vibrant marketplace for commuters and shoppers alike. This unique and high-traffic location presents an unparalleled opportunity for advertisers to reach local audiences through various touch points like commuting, shopping, dining, and leisure.

With this additional digital signage network, brands and agencies can now expect:

  • More flexible campaign planning: quick and easy updates allow campaigns to go up instantly, with contextually relevant ads.
  • Cost-Effectiveness: The screens are more cost-effective for advertisers due to zero production and install costs, shorter campaign durations, and the option to have share of voice (SOV) with other advertisers. This is an ideal option that opens the door for local businesses and smaller campaigns to run shorter campaigns at a high-volume site.
  • Full-Motion Video: Ultra-bright 4K screens enable better storytelling and more engaging ads.
  • Add-on to Static Dominations: These digital screens complement existing static placements in the terminal, creating comprehensive and dynamic domination for advertisers leveraging both digital and static assets.

“We’re incredibly excited to bring in a new era of waterway transit advertising at Colman Dock,” said Brett Weinberg, CEO of Pivot Media Ventures. “This partnership amplifies our commitment to providing cutting-edge advertising solutions that are not just eye-catching and engaging with the community, but are strategically placed in high-traffic areas to maximize brand impact.”

The digital signage network at Colman Dock will feature state-of-the-art technology designed to captivate and engage. The network comprises a premium network of 65” screens, strategically located to provide maximum visibility and impact. These screens offer advertisers unparalleled capabilities including real-time data feeds, environmental triggers, and day-parting to tailor content to specific audiences. This digital transformation complements existing static advertising assets, creating a comprehensive advertising ecosystem that enhances both the commuter and advertiser experience.

“These interactive screens do more than just advertise; they serve as catalysts for community engagement and transform the commuting experience,” said Helen Roldan, Director of Communications and Public Affairs at Ballyhoo Media. “From keeping travelers updated on weather conditions and local events to offering live sports scores, these screens not only connect our local community but also create shared experiences. Most importantly, the revenue generated will directly contribute to subsidizing ferry costs and enhancing terminal facilities, making this a win-win-win initiative for everyone involved.”

For the Washington State Ferry system, this initiative serves dual purposes. First, it enhances the visual appeal and functionality of the terminal, elevating it to a state-of-the-art transit facility. Second, it opens up new revenue streams that are essential for the system’s long-term sustainability. The generated income will be allocated to reduce ferry operation costs and contribute to terminal upgrades and necessary ferry repairs.

Looking ahead, this digital signage network marks the beginning of a long-term strategy to modernize and monetize the Washington State Ferry system. “This is not a one-off initiative but part of a broader vision to make our ferry system one of the most advanced and financially sustainable in the country,” added Adam Shapiro, CEO of Ballyhoo Media.

Play the song, share the moment!

Problem:

Puerto Rican singer Anuel AA was releasing a new album during peak times of COVID-19. As it is expected, in order to promote the release of a new album, a concert or party is held to make the big announcement and to share some of the new songs of the album. However, in times of COVID, no parties or concerts were allowed in the city of Miami.

Solution and Result:

To promote Anuel AA’s new album Emmanuel, Ballyhoo Media was able to build a mobile concert venue on the water. Sourcing stages, professional audio and a crew of videographers we created a unique experience with DJ, performers, and digital screens. After the concert, the record label and Anuel AA’s closest family , friends and celebrities used the boat’s screen to congratulate their loved one on the album release. This personal message made up for an emotional experience that took place uniquely on the water and stayed in the memory of the artist and his family and friends forever.

Clean Up Litter

Taking action to keep our waters clean.

Problem: 
Marine life in Biscayne Bay started suffering from a lack of oxygen caused by pollution, fertilizer runoff, seagrass bed die-offs, and high temperatures. Thousands of fish started dying in the area and the rest soon suffered the same fate.

 

Solution:
As part of the marine community, the team at Ballyhoo Media felt the responsibility to help the city of Miami by raising awareness about the consequences of climate change as well as inviting Miami locals to take action and tackle the problem. We were first able to spot and report dead marine life to nonprofit organizations as our captains were out in Biscayne Bay every day. But we couldn’t stop there, we wanted to teach our community about the Biscayne Bay problem and create awareness, so we partnered up with big nonprofit organizations like Surfrider Miami, Oceana, and Clean this Beach Up used our voice (a 60 ft digital floating screen) to help initiate conversations among locals, and eventually brought people together to beach and bay cleanups. Raising awareness and spotting and reporting was only one part of the solution. Ballyhoo Media team also decided to get out there, get dirty, and take action by volunteering with Clean Miami Beach to help clean up trash and nondecomposable materials from the shoreline. 

 

Results:
Restoring an entire area of the reef is no easy work, and it is certainly not the responsibility of one single man. Instead, it is the duty of everyone who is living in the area of Miami to help restore it and prevent it from future damage. However, Ballyhoo Media’s efforts to create awareness of the issues, sending a call to action in partnership with nonprofit organizations, and being part of the bay and beach clean-ups resulted in more people taking action and being more informed of the Biscayne Bay problem creating environmental awareness.

Sea The Change

Problem: 
As ecosystem problems in Biscayne Bay kept occurring, seagrass beds and marine life started to die off. Sendit4theSea, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserve and restore marine ecosystems, decided to host more beach and bay clean-ups. They knew they could not do everything themselves and that the help of volunteers was crucial to saving the bay so they needed to spread the word quickly and efficiently around Miami. 

Solution:
Ballyhoo Media’s relationship with different nonprofit organizations helped accelerate the process of getting in contact with Sendit4theSea and provide them with help in spreading the word around. Ballyhoo Media ran an advertising campaign calling everyone in Miami to volunteer in the Biscayne Bay clean up that took place on December 27th, 2020. The digital campaign showed a brief summary of past cleanups and the amount of trash collected during them. The screen also showed motivational messages for volunteers at the event itself that read “Be the solution to the pollution” and “Sea the change”, both intending to motivate volunteers during the clean up and actively be part of the event. 

Results:
With the help of around 200 volunteers, more than 2,477 lbs of garbage were removed from water and park areas. Ballyhoo Media’s efforts to call others to participate not only incentivize people to be part of the event, but it also created tracking in social media in which users showed their love by posting us, tagging us or commenting on our social media platform.

Driving New Local Business

Problem:  
The Spot is a local barbershop in Miami, FL designed to be a true gentleman’s experience and a hideaway from every man’s day-to-day hustle. With the opening of multiple new stores around the city, they needed to establish clientele at its new stores while simultaneously boosting clientele in its original locations. To achieve both these goals, they wanted to create a unique and catchy advertising campaign for customers to recall their brand quick and choose them as their first barbershop choice.

Solution:
We ran creative advertising in both static and video formats in the areas that mattered the most! Our routes in both Downtown Miami and Miami Beach cover a total of 6 of The Spot’s most visited locations so Ballyhoo Media was able to cast a net throughout Miami and bring people into their locations. Making an influence in the community and of course, getting their name out there. 

Results:
Additionally from managers telling us how excited they were to see our ad on the boat,  having one barber post in his social media account a picture of himself with the boat in the back,  and half of our staff starting to go to The Spot (possibly motivated by the complimentary drinks they serve),  the buzz began to grow and Ballyhoo Media was recognized to be a great marketing tool to drive traffic to The Spot’s local stores. Helping them increase their sales and create more relationships with clients

Art, not ads.

Problem:
Yes, you guessed it. Another campaign initiated due to Covid- 19. But just like all the other ones, it is a happy campaign! In a summer unlike any other,  as people kept on quarantining and numbers of covid cases were not going down, Miamians started feeling hopeless and unmotivated, so Stella Artois decided it was time to send out a positive message and bring some positivity into the city! They released the “You’re Not Too Far From The Life Artois” campaign to remind everyone that opportunities to take advantage of the summer were endless and that everyone could still turn canceled vacations into daydream staycations. Stella Artois’ goal was to share that message with the Miami locals and intensify their strong relationship with its audience.

Solution:
Our platform provided Stella Artois with a unique channel to spread the message around the area of Miami. Being a mobile platform, our screen is able to be seen from the beaches and walking paths as well as residential buildings and hotels. Our non-reflective screens make ads easily visible from high-end residential buildings which was the perfect fit for the campaign. 

 

Results:
While the COVID-19 pandemic prevented many people from going outside, and OOH billboards on highways and bus stops were less visible, our platform was able to sail through the waterways of both Downtown and greater Miami meeting Stella Artois’s goals without having to wait for anyone to leave their homes. We were able to remind people that they could still embrace the summer version of themselves and invite them to daydream to a place of total bliss.

The boats also cruised by more than 25 waterfront restaurants that had recently been provided with additional outdoor space, which gave Stella Artois the opportunity to both show off their message and raise a toast with restaurants and restaurants’ clients.

With the COVID-19 pandemic breaking out at the peak of the summer, people stopped going to their favorite restaurants, clubs, malls and cineplexes. Families around Miami started feeling like there was not much to do and with their kids taking online classes and staying at home for the entire day, boredom started increasing in the city. On top of that, COVID-19 cases were not forecasted to decrease anytime soon which caused even more feelings of uncertainty and disappointment.

Solution:
To keep the community together and entertained, while encouraging them to stay outside during the pandemic, Ballyhoo Media hosted a movie night experience on the water with our custom-designed LED screen boats! This was an opportunity for the community to enjoy a special evening on the water while staying safe during the pandemic.

Results:
More than 450 people showed up for this unique experience. The event garnered social media and press buzz for Ballyhoo Media all around Miami. This immersive experience helped the community forget about their troubles and enjoy the beautiful weather of Miami again in a safe and unique way!

A Campaign worth retweeting.

Challenge :
Twitter is all about personal expression and creating positive social movements using its users’ tweets. After noticing its users expressing growing mask-wearing fatigue on its platform, Twitter decided to launch a campaign in some of the major cities in the US, including Miami and Miami Beach to remind people to wear a mask while going on in public and promote positive habits but they wanted to make an impact and show the tweets in a powerful and impactful way.

Solution:
Tweets became billboards. Using our floating digital billboards in Miami, Twitter showed tweets like “think of a mask as a bikini for the face” or “so…is hey nice mask the new pick up line?”. Twitter’s campaign intended to reach users where other OOH brands could not and uniquely engage the Miami crowd while showing as many tweets as possible. In Ballyhoo Media’s platform, you can interchange content within the same time slot so Twitter was able to show multiple tweets made by different users in a unique and eye-catching way!

Ballyhoo Media provided a powerful way to show messages and created a unique experience when showcasing Twitter’s community-minded content, engaging it’s users that soon started to share the billboard’s tweets in social media, reinforcing the brand, and driving attention.

Results:
Beachgoers, drivers, those working from home, and those who decided to walk around the Downtown Miami area experienced and engaged with Twitter’s ads and share them on social media. Also, Twitter’s efforts to combat “caution fatigue,” created a buzz in the press and our untraditional platform was featured on multiple different media outlets!

Preserve Our Oceans

Saving beachgoers from trash and poor water quality.

Surfrider’s Clean Water Initiative strives to protect water quality in local waterways and reduce pollution so it is safe to surf, swim and play in the ocean. The Blue Water Task Force (BWTF) is The Surfrider Foundation’s volunteer water quality monitoring program.

Everyone should have access to clean water to surf, swim and play in.

The Surfrider Foundation Miami Chapter is taking a multi-tiered approach to tackle ocean pollution problems. We are testing the waters for bacteria, raising public awareness and finding real solutions to ocean pollution; solutions that restore healthy watersheds, protect local water supplies and keep pollution from reaching the ocean.

The main goal of the Surfrider Miami BWTF program is to fill in data gaps, improving the public’s knowledge of the safety of their beach water. As of 2020, water samples are being collected weekly at 10 locations, from Key Biscayne to Sunny Isles Beach.
