Neo Advertising expands content offering

t-online.de news are from now on part of the Neo Advertising’s content offering

Customers of Neo Advertising GmbH, a subsidiary of the Ströer Group and one of the leading providers in the field of digital signage in public areas and at the POS, can now display news from Germany's largest news website t-online.de, also part of the Ströer Group, in their program. t-online.de is thus further expanding its reach in the field of digital out-of-home. Content from t-online.de is already running on all Ströer public video screens at train stations, S-Bahn and subway stations, airports and shopping centers. The news portal reaches around 47 million people via desktop, smartphones, tablets, social media and public video.

"The t-online.de editorial team is the content supplier for editorial content on Ströer's digital out-of-home networks (DOOH). With DOOH, we have opened up a powerful and wide-reaching channel. By working together with Neo Advertising, we increase the immediate reach and at the same time further increase the visibility of the brand," says Marc Schmitz, CEO of Ströer Content Group.

"Whether sports news, business news or the latest news from the world of celebrities: the news on our DOOH screens ensure that attention is permanently maintained. We have followed this principle from the very beginning, for all our digital out-of-home networks. The integration of t-online.de content into Neo Advertising's CMS platform is only logical: "We are sharpening our own profile and leveraging further synergies within the Group," says Alexander Stotz, CEO of Ströer Media Deutschland GmbH.

Since its market launch in 2016, Neo Advertising's ePoster has been one of the most successful products of the Neo Group. The ePoster is already being used by numerous larger customers such as L'Oréal or TEDi to increase sales or provide information. With the associated free and cloud-based CMS platform "Neolive", customers can quickly and easily design and schedule (advertising) content. With add-on functions such as the integration of editorial content from t-online.de, the program can be individually designed. The news is updated several times a day by t-online.de. The customer can decide which news categories he wants to embed in his program (e.g. only sports). Currently, "Neolive" is used to control almost 3,000 screens throughout Germany.
