JCDecaux has launched LDN Drive – a new large-format digital channel for the capital.

Introducing 68 new screens across 29 London boroughs, JCDecaux says the new channel will reach 60m fortnightly viewed impressions, with screens that are 20% larger than the market average, at 20m².

Disney Theatrical Productions, Esme Loans and Campaign magazine are amongst the launch partners for LDN Drive, which is powered by the DRIVE mobile data-set that allows for optimised audience delivery mapping the unique audience profiles throughout the day and by the day of the week.
