In addition to its strategic premium location, René bridge leverages its digital capabilities to allow advertisers to display dynamic and interactive content, powered by data measurement and analytics and implemented in a sustainable DOOH ecosystem.
Why René?
The choice of René was inspired by the iconic artwork of René Magritte, specifically his masterpiece, “The Treachery of Images.” The painting features a pipe with the enigmatic caption, “Ceci n’est pas une pipe” (This is not a pipe), challenging traditional perceptions and encouraging viewers to see beyond the obvious. Similarly, Hypermedia aims to transcend the physical boundaries of René, transforming it into an extraordinary platform that empowers brands to elevate their exposure and make a lasting impact.
Endorsing its position as Creators of Impact, Hypermedia introduced the “Z Gallery – Art of Media” concept in 2022 on Sheikh Zayed Road, comprising a captivating network of over 550 digital and static assets meticulously designed to provide brands with a premium media “Art Experience”. Since joining Dubai’s visionary journey of building Sheikh Zayed Road in 2001, Hypermedia remained committed to establishing a world-class OOH media infrastructure that reflects the city’s upscale, modern, and distinctive identity.
“René represents a significant milestone in our mission to redefine digital Out-Of-Home advertising,” said Gerard Rustom, Managing Director/CRO at Hypermedia. “We believe that by fusing art, technology, and strategic placement, we can offer brands an unparalleled opportunity to captivate audiences and achieve remarkable measurable results. René‘s location, combined with our advanced audience analytic tools, will empower advertisers to deliver data-driven campaigns that maximize their return on investment.”
The addition of René to the “Z Gallery – Art of Media” collection further solidifies Hypermedia’s position as a trailblazer in the OOH advertising industry. As the company continues to push boundaries and leverage innovation, advertisers can expect even more extraordinary opportunities to engage and inspire their target audiences.
