MONTREAL, May 22, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - Astral Out-of-Home, a division of Bell Media, announced today the deployment of 14 new innovative advertising structures in the heart of Montréal's lively Quartier des Spectacles. The installation will be complete by the end of May.
"Astral Out-of-Home is proud of this partnership with the Quartier des Spectacles," said Luc Quétel, President, Astral Out-of-Home. "We've worked hard to ensure our new structures are erected just in time for summer and the excitement of festival season."
The out-of-home advertising columns - eight of which are digital - were custom-created by the renowned designer Michel Dallaire to reflect the unique, modern, and vibrant character of Montréal's Quartier des Spectacles.
