JCDecaux announces Aspire network in Brisbane ahead of 2032 Games
JCDecaux has unveiled its Aspire network in Brisbane, introducing a suite of elevated digital portrait screens across six prime locations to meet the city’s rapid growth and global spotlight ahead of the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The announcement:
JCDecaux has launched its ASPIRE network in Brisbane, introducing a suite of architecturally designed, digital portrait screens across six high-visibility locations. The new network responds to the pace of change underway in Queensland’s capital, as Brisbane prepares for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and continues to attract business, talent and investment.
Sam Noble, JCDecaux’s national product director – large format, said: “Introducing JCDecaux ASPIRE into Brisbane strengthens how brands can show up in a city that is rapidly evolving. More than 3.1 million people moved through Brisbane last summer alone, drawn by a calendar of major events and its growing status as a hub for sport, culture and business. With fast population growth, major infrastructure investment and the 2032 Games on the horizon, it’s a market full of opportunity.
“ASPIRE has been designed to meet that opportunity; 8.5-metre elevated structures for standout visibility, positioned to reach people on daily journeys, near entertainment precincts and in areas undergoing rapid growth. It gives advertisers real presence in the places that matter most.”
Designed in collaboration with Australian architectural firm Tzannes, JCDecaux ASPIRE screens are engineered with stainless-steel cladding and energy-efficient technology. The elevated design ensures greater visibility and attention, validated by JCDecaux’s recent independent eye-tracking research conducted by UXBridge*, which shows significant uplift in viewing time when panels are positioned at height and along sequential routes.
Noble added: “Our recent independent eye-tracking research confirmed that elevated placements dramatically improve visibility and engagement. For advertisers, that means better outcomes and attention where it matters most.”
The new Brisbane JCDecaux ASPIRE network connects key inner-city suburbs including Fortitude Valley, Teneriffe, East Brisbane, Toowong, Kangaroo Point and Kelvin Grove, locations that blend residential growth, creative industries, education, entertainment and professional audiences. Strategically placed along major arterial routes, the six new screens deliver over 1.8 million weekly impressions** and extend JCDecaux’s existing reach across 93 percent of the Brisbane metro area.
They complement JCDecaux’s broader footprint in Brisbane, where the company currently holds exclusive rights to Queensland Rail, Brisbane City buses and the city’s Small Format contract. Together, they form a connected network that spans key transport corridors, pedestrian zones and suburban catchments.
* JCDecaux’s recent independent eye-tracking study conducted by UXBridge, examined how design and placement influence visibility and engagement. The findings confirmed that ASPIRE’s elevated 8.5-metre structure significantly enhances noticeability, surpassing the critical five-metre threshold identified in the research, and reinforcing the value of height and positioning in driving audience attention.
