Leading figures from various brands shared their insights on cross-platform initiatives and assessed how well different channels perform when engaging customers.
One standout moment was Richy's presentation of their latest offering: Karo cheese and chicken floss-filled bear-shaped cookies. Their marketing approach utilized an extensive multichannel strategy, notably through Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) advertising, focusing heavily on elevator screen displays within office buildings, residential complexes, and grocery stores where potential buyers often frequent.

These contained spaces with minimal distractions allowed Richy to successfully connect with consumers in everyday surroundings, thereby strengthening brand recognition and memory.
Integrating a worldwide perspective, Melanie Lindquist—a specialist in communications for the Asia-Pacific region and ex-CEO of APAC Talon OOH—underscored the growing importance of elevator media within comprehensive marketing approaches. She pointed out that elevator settings stand out because they command significant focus with few diversions. As she put it, “In this distinctive setting, companies can convey tailored and powerful messages.”
Specialists at the conference noted that elevator advertising, once seen as secondary, has grown essential in city environments. With audiences encountering more media distractions than ever, this now offers significant chances for brands to gain prominent visibility and increased customer interaction.
According to a 2025 NielsenIQ report, 97% of participants observed digital advertisements in elevators with ease, noting an enhanced recollection of both brands and messages when contrasted with conventional outdoor promotions. The confined setting within elevators allows for more profound audience interaction, boosting advertisement efficacy without additional costs.
