When you think of outdoor advertising, you might picture billboards on highways or posters in city streets. But what happens when an ad campaign needs to be set up at 3,000 meters in the Alps? Here’s a glimpse into the challenges and what it takes to pull off a successful campaign in such extreme conditions.
#1 Heavy weather conditions
The weather situations can be though sometimes. The winds are strong, and the weather is unpredictable. One minute, the sun could be shining, and the next, a snowstorm rolls in. The team has to be ready for everything. But rule number one: No billboard is worth a human life! Saftey comes always first.
#2 Problem-Solving on the Move
Every day brings a new challenge in the mountains, and our team has to adapt quickly. Whether it’s shifting winds that make an installation tricky, or snow blocking access to a key area, problem-solving on the fly is essential.
#3 Organization Skills in the Field
Pulling off these campaigns requires top-notch organizational skills.
Our team plans everything in detail, from the timing of installations to ensure they don't interfere with mountain operations, to coordinating logistics for transporting equipment. Communication is vital, especially when working in teams spread across different areas of the mountain. Every person needs to know their role and be ready to adapt to changes as they come.
#4 Calm Under Pressure
Staying calm in the face of extreme conditions is a must. The environment can be unpredictable, and the pressure to deliver on time is always there. The team needs to remain focused and composed. Rushing in these conditions can lead to mistakes, and at high altitudes, even small errors can become dangerous. Patience and precision are key.
#5 Teamwork - The Backbone of Success
None of this would be possible without a tight-knit team. Installing advertising campaigns is not a solo job — it’s all about teamwork. From the project managers who organize every detail to the crew who brave the mountains. Every person plays a crucial role in making the campaign a success. Trust and clear communication are essential to ensure everyone stays safe and the job gets done efficiently.
