CNY LUNCHEON
SMRT Media sighted at the Singapore Air Show 2010!

SMRT Media went the extra mile this Chinese New Year for its exclusive clients, by hosting them in their very own private chalet at the Singapore Air Show.

These clients, who are mainly decision makers from companies and agencies, mingled with one another in the unique setting of the Air Show. The much anticipated aerobatic flying display thrilled the guests with their breath taking flying maneuvers. To commemorate this memorable event, guests also received personalized calligraphy well wishes from Chinese Calligrapher, Master Lee Koon Peng from the Life Arts Society who was on site to perform for them.

Amid all the laughter, food and entertainment, SMRT Media gave its guests a sneak preview of its upcoming new media platform, Digital Multimedia Screens. Many of the guests were very excited about this unique media platform, which sets itself apart from other traditional screens seen in the market, and were eager to be a part of their impending launch.

HIGHLIGHTS
Wedding Proposal @ Admiralty



SMRT Media is delighted to be able to help Jianwei propose to Shuzhen in a memorable and touching way. The couple, both living near Admiralty Station, were planning to go for their solemnization and Jianwei decided that he would use SMRT Media's bulkhead to propose to his girlfriend.

On the day of the proposal, SMRT station staff and SMRT Media personnel helped to facilitate the proposal. Special arrangements were also made so that the couple's friends and families could witness this special occasion.

When Shuzhen arrived at the station, she was greeted with the proposal in the bulkhead and saw Jianwei in the middle of the platform next to the bulkhead. She was visibly touched by what Jianwei had done for her.

A happy Jianwei also added "I appreciate SMRT Media for their help to make things possible for me on this special day!"

G.I. Joe Comes to Orchard!

25th of July and 1st of August were both exciting days for G.I. Joe fans in Singapore. At 3:00pm to 3:30pm G.I.Joe mascots were seen appearing in Orchard MRT station, just outside the ION Orchard faregates.

Commuters were pleasantly surprised to see these mascots in the SMRT Orchard station and many rushed to take pictures with them. It was of no doubt that this was the highlight of their otherwise typical journey on the MRT.

To add to the hype, lucky commuters who could recite the movie tagline won 2 free tickets to a special showing of the film!

L'oreal


L'oreal capitalised on the use of SMRT platform concept and transformed City Hall platform into a cosy room! This eye-catching media campaign was seen between late November to December ‘09.

Effectively using pillars, benches, floor stickers and station walls, L'oreal was able to grab commuters' attention. Reflective stickers were used to create a mirror effect and these further helped to glamourise L'oreal's range of products featured.
Yeo's

YEO's launched its latest campaign using various SMRT Media spaces to effectively reach out and communicate to their target audiences.

Their campaign's themes ‘The Natural Choice for Chinese New Year' and 'Never Enough of YEO's' were in time for the upcoming Lunar New Year. The use of 3D adverts intrigued the commuters and many stopped to take a second look.

To further extend their marketing reach, Yeo's strategically used stations like Ang Mo Kio, Tampines and Boon Lay to reach out to the heartlanders.
