RCS brings the rich functionality of messaging
Out There Media successfully launched the first large scale commercial RCS campaigns for McDonald’s and Disney via our partnership with Vodafone group and Vodacom in South Africa. RCS has been developed and is owned by the global telco community as a highly engaging, extremely interactive digital messaging platform to provide a trusted, secure and safe channel for brands to connect with consumers. RCS brings the rich functionality of messaging apps such as WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, directly to the native messaging app built into users’ phones. As a result, brands can benefit from this trusted, native environment that turns messaging into an interactive, feature-rich experience, putting advertising content, such as media, images, chatbots, videos and more, directly in the hands of the consumer. This opens a one-on-one dialogue directly with their target audience, allowing them to engage with them on a highly personalized basis.
To date, Out There Media has conducted and led several successful commercial campaigns with leading global brands, such as Huawei, P&G Pantene, McDonald’s and more, which have seen impressive results—average read rates above 70%, and click-through rates above 5.5%—beating current industry benchmarks for campaign engagement levels.
Our campaigns have seen us become leaders in the mobile advertising ecosystem winning numerous high-profile awards for our mobile campaigns including the MMA Smarties Awards, FAB Awards and Citra Pariwara Gold Awards.
