The Integer Group®, the world’s leading commerce agency and a key member of Omnicom Group Inc., has been appointed Agency of Record for the North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA), a cashless tolling authority serving North Texas.
As part of its three-year contract, Integer will be responsible for the creation of all above-the-line initiatives (primarily in digital, paid social, radio and OOH) that showcase the NTTA system of toll roads across Collin, Dallas, Denton and Tarrant counties. In addition, Integer will design and execute consumer promotions for various NTTA service offerings, including its rewards program, TollPerks. Media planning and buying will be handled by Integer in partnership with Omnicom-sibling agency, LatinWorks.
“Our primary goal is to demonstrate the role NTTA and its roads play in the economic success of the DFW Metroplex, and how the TollTag delivers the best value for drivers of its roads,” said Nancy St. Pierre, Director of Public Affairs for the North Texas Tollway Authority. “Integer has a clear understanding of the DFW customer and how to communicate the benefits of NTTA and the TollTag. We were also impressed with Integer’s approach to media, leveraging data to maximize our spend and overall effectiveness.”
As part of its first campaign with NTTA, Integer will promote the new 360 Tollway to help residents and commuters understand the value of the corridor and the use of a TollTag in saving money on tolls, while simplifying travel and their daily commutes. A larger campaign is slated for later this spring.
“We are thrilled to be working with the North Texas Tollway Authority,” said Kiel Huhn, Senior Vice President, Group Account Director for The Integer Group, Dallas. “As a primary driver of commerce in the DFW Metroplex, NTTA seamlessly connects communities and businesses. Through our work here in Dallas — for example, with Dallas Fort Worth International Airport — as well as for our global brand clients, we know how to connect with those customers who will benefit most from NTTA programs and offerings.”
