Gold, Gold, Gold: QMS Paris Network Reaches 11.5 Million Australians
After six weeks, 116 medals including 36 gold, and countless stories of triumph and performance, the Paris Olympic and Paralympics Games have become part of Australian sporting – and Out of Home (OOH) – history.
Leading digital outdoor media company QMS’ ground-breaking Paris 2024 Digital Screen Network reached more than 11.5 million Australians*, marking a new age in the capabilities of digital out of home (DOOH) to deliver dynamic content with immediacy, accuracy and scale.
The in-games period on the network ran from the start of the first Olympic Games week on 27 July and culminated with the Closing Ceremony of the Paralympic Games on 9th September, incorporating premium national digital large format billboards, the City of Sydney street furniture network, The Convenience Network and Gold Coast street furniture assets to deliver an Australian-first, 100% DOOH Olympic and Paralympic Games experience.
The QMS Paris 2024 Digital Screen Network partnered with some of Australia’s leading brands, including Allianz, Toyota Australia, Woolworths, Stan, Patties Food Group and Bupa.
QMS dynamically served an extraordinary 81,478 pieces of content creative during the Olympic and Paralympic Games, a feat never seen before in the local OOH industry.
The Paris 2024 Digital Screen Network helped deliver big reach and impact that drove positive brand sentiment.

Allianz Chief General Manager, Consumer, Shez Ford, said: “With the digital capabilities that QMS’ network offered, we were able to place our brand next to the latest news, medal moments, medal tally updates as well as remind Australians of what to watch to ensure they didn’t miss the big moments across the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.”
Australian Olympic Committee, CEO, Matt Carroll said: “From a high performance perspective these were a record breaking Games – Australia’s most successful away Team ever. Most importantly, Australians were also connected with our athletes beyond the medal tally and their incredible stories. Our thanks to QMS for the exceptional role they played in cementing that enduring connection.”
Paralympics Australia interim CEO, Cameron Murray said: “We were thrilled to work with QMS to bring the powerful stories and imagery of our Paralympic athletes to new audiences. QMS’ Digital Screen Network was the perfect conduit between events in Paris and millions of Australians as they went about their daily lives.”
The ways people interrelate with big events such as the Paralympic Games continues to develop and QMS is a frontrunner in this media evolution.
