Captivate Network's newest content partnership with Boston-based FlightView now offers Toronto travellers up-to-the-minute, real-time flight info for major airports and airlines across the country, and for advertisers, more interaction touchpoints to strut their stuff.
The new content - which will appear on Captivate's OOH network of over a million impressions a week across its 900 elevator digi-screens and 100 downtown office towers, lobbies and lounges - features bright green, yellow, and red bar graphs indicating the percentage of on-time, delayed, and very delayed flights.
The FlightView content comes with brand integration and animated sponsorship opps: advertisers can apply their brand colors and identity to entire Captivate screens, feature animated logos or brands over the content, or simultaneously air their ads on a split screen alongside FlightView content.
Captivate reaches over 2.6 million viewers a day.

Ottawa-based agency MacMillan has come up with a novel way to say Happy Holidays to clients this year. The traditional greeting has been transformed into a bigger project through charitable outreach with a newly published children's book.
Written and illustrated in-house, 100% of profits from the sale of Santy Claws and the Toe-nenbaum is going to children's charities like Make-a-Wish Foundation. To promote the book, MacMillan created www.santyclaws.com with viral Tell-a-Friend features, and is holding book readings in libraries starting this week in addition to a PR push.
The quirky 40-page tale appeals to kids ages 5 to 8 and looks at Santa's "bad" twin (Santy Claws) who takes children's toes for his evil tree. A downloadable PDF version costs under $7, while a print copy sells for $20 and can be ordered online.
