It is her first public role since her own daughter, Madeleine, went disappeared in Portugal five years ago. Thankfully, campaigns like this can play a vital part in the search.” She said: “More than 250,000 people are reported missing each year in the UK – worryingly they could fill the Olympic Stadium three times over. McCann recently became an ambassador for the charity, although she has previously been fundraiser for Missing People by taking part in its Miles for Missing People 10k run. Digital production agency Grand Visual designed the campaign, using open-loop technology so that Missing People can update the boards instantly from its office.īill Wilson, operations director at the Outdoor Media Centre said: “The Outdoor Media Centre and our members feel strongly that we can make a difference to the hundreds of thousands of families who are living each day not knowing when they’ll see their loved ones again.” The campaign has been organised by the trade body for outdoor media, the Outdoor Media Centre who approached Missing People with the idea. Outdoor media owners who have donated space include Clear Channel, JCDecaux, Primesight and CBS Outdoor. The estimated value of the donated advertising space, which will be utilised throughout the Olympic period, is £1m. Running on up to 6,000 digital billboards in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow the campaign is predicted to reach 10 million people over the summer.
The campaign will feature individual missing people and include the charity's new phone number to report sightings (116 000). Kate McCann will undertake her first role as ambassador for Missing People tomorrow, unveiling a major digital billboard campaign that will feature across the UK.
