Beyond billboards
In 1998, our President George A. Christidis, imported and installed the first Canadian inner city video billboard from Las Vegas. This proved to be a defining moment in the OOH ad industry. As the billboard lit up the Yonge and Eglinton community in Toronto, broadcasting ads and live television events, many local and national advertisers aspired to be part of this new media, seizing the opportunity to take their message to the next level – larger, brighter and higher.
This pioneering video billboard installation was so successful that George soon complemented his media network by starting Wild On Media Inc. offering guerrilla-style still-image and video wall projection services. The excitement continued with the expansion of additional leading-edge mediums into Canada. Things really took off after this when helicopter aerial banner techniques were also added to the vastly growing portfolio.
The leading-edge
Wild on Media continues to lead the way, innovating the non-traditional media market at every turn with out-of-home media that includes digital ad trucks, digital taxi tops, helicopter & airplane banners, skywriting, helicopter night signs, wall projections, street teams and much much more. We’re always on the lookout for new and exciting non-traditional media opportunities to offer our clients, and pushing the boundaries of how we can get your creative thinking out there.
