The launch was applauded with great media coverage on both print & online, and attracted about 80 attendees.
VOICE OF FIRST ADVERTISER
 

"MTR advertising is deemed to be an impactful OOH medium, as Hong Kong people don't tend to have long time staying at home. Passengers are also less distracted when they are traveling in a captive environment like MTR."
- Mr. Steven Chu, Department Manager, Digital Imaging & Mobile Entertainment Product Group, Consumer Electronics Marketing Division, Hong Kong Marketing Company, Sony Corporation of Hong Kong Limited, 2008.08.13

 

Sony's VAIO Z personal computer was the first advertiser to make use of this cutting-edge display system to show off the VAIO Z's unique advantages through an eye-catching campaign with strong visual & audio impact.
