Over 80% of Workers are not Hybrid.

ESRI’s latest Social Activity Measure – which is based on data collected during the week to April 26th reports on developments in working and commuting. This analysis relies on all workers in the last three waves of SAM, giving a sample size of 1,983.

For over four fifths of workers hybrid working is either not possible or not offered. For nearly two-thirds of works hybrid working is not possible while almost one-in-five workers report that their job could be done from home, but this flexibility is not offered. For workers for whom hybrid working is feasible, the majority are happy with the number of days they attend their place of work.

The vast majority who commuted by car or active travel (walk/cycle) before the pandemic continue to do so. More than one in five who used public transport previously no longer do so, with the majority switching to commuting by car.

The Right Place and at the Right Time..

The National Lottery is using digital out of home (DOOH) formats to promote its EuroMillions Jackpot. The campaign aims to connect with consumers across the country, reminding them of the life changing Jackpots which ‘could be you’. The highly visible designs by Core Creative called out last Friday’s Jackpot of €195 million. After the draw took place, the message was adapted for Tuesday’s whopping €215 million Jackpot. This simple, yet effective use of Digital OOH allowed for greater flexibility with the creative copy. The campaign runs on formats including Tesco Live, Adshel Live and dPods nationwide.

Outdoor is a location medium but its agility means its content can be hyper-relevant to time and to events happening across the physical and virtual landscape. OOH is the perfect medium to reach these large audiences at the right place and at the right time.

The campaign was planned by Starcom and Source out of home, part of PML Group.
