Today’s marketers demand greater insight and accountability from the outdoor industry. In addition to syndicated industry research such as MOVE, APN Outdoor has invested heavily in a suite of planning tools which make buying outdoor easier.

Compass is a proprietary planning tool developed in conjunction with Point Logic in the Netherlands. Compass has been custom built for the New Zealand outdoor market. At its heart is a simple, 3 step process:

  1. Information about the client’s business objectives are fed into the Compass communications brief. Screenshot of Compass application
  2. Compass weights the key tasks for the outdoor campaign (eg. Awareness, Preference, Action, etc.). Screenshot of Compass application
  3. Compass identifies which combination of outdoor formats will deliver the most effective and cost efficient result. Screenshot of Compass application
