Postcode Lottery
ONTARIO LAUNCH 2026

IS YOUR DOOR IN THE DRAW?

Vertical Impression's proposal to launch Postcode Lottery Canada across Ontario — reaching people where they live, at their actual doors.

Ontario Market Coverage

454 buildings | 1,213 screens across Ontario

Presented by Vertical Impression — The only media partner that reaches people at their actual doors.

The Red Door Meets
The Real Door

PCL's brand is built around doors and postal codes. Vertical Impression reaches people at their actual doors — in lobbies, elevators, and building common areas. No other media partner offers this natural creative alignment.

🏠

Where People Live

Our digital screens are inside the residential buildings where Ontario's lottery-playing, community-minded adults actually live.

🎯

Proven Attention Data

We know which buildings show the highest engagement with iGaming and lottery advertising, and can adjust in real-time to target environments where this category already wins, and attention is highest.

The Urgency Channel

Property notices and building screens are checked daily — the perfect channel for PCL's critical 7-10 day countdown-to-draw urgency windows.

PCL's entire brand is about doors. We literally reach people at their doors. This isn't a media buy — it's a brand fit.
The Activation

Red Door Condo Hunt

A province-wide UGC treasure hunt

Red Door Creative - More neighbours in, more chances to win

Launch a user-generated contest: "Spot a red door, snap it, tag @PostcodeLotteryCA, enter to win." This turns PCL's signature creative asset into a social movement that spreads organically across every target market.

The Physical Takeover

Red Door Elevator Wraps

Turn every elevator into a branded moment

Full vinyl wraps transform elevator doors in key condo buildings into PCL's iconic Red Door. Every trip to and from home becomes an unmissable brand impression — physical, tactile, and impossible to skip. Residents photograph and share them, creating organic social content that extends reach far beyond the building.

  • ✓ 6 wraps across select Ontario markets
  • ✓ Phase 1 — in the wild for the Red Door Condo Hunt
  • ✓ 12-week campaign window (Sept–Oct)
  • ✓ Physical presence generates shareable social moments
  • ✓ Earned media amplification — residents become brand ambassadors
The Media

Red Door Takeover

Own the space between the front door and home

Full Red Door creative takeover on digital screens in condo lobbies and elevators across Ontario. Dynamic creative featuring local postal codes — residents see their actual postal code asking "Is YOUR door in the draw?"

Why This Works: Hyperlocal Context

Our screens carry hyperlocal information at the building level — property notices, community updates, building announcements. Residents are already looking at them for info that matters to their daily lives. PCL creative appears in this trusted, high-attention context, making it far more relevant than a random ad on a random screen. The message isn't just seen — it's seen by people already engaged with their community.

Countdown To Draw

Owning the 7-10 day window that matters most

PCL's RFP emphasizes the 7-10 days before each draw as critical for FOMO and conversions. We sponsor a countdown placement directly in property notices and building digital screens — the notices residents check every day. "5 days until the draw. Is your door in?" This channel is exclusive to us and perfectly timed to the urgency cycle.

This is where conversions happen. We own that moment.

Countdown to Draw
The Proof Point

Condo Celebration Parties

When your postal code wins, the party comes to you

After each monthly draw, we activate a celebration party in a condo building in the winning postal code. Balloons, music, Red Door branding everywhere. Film the real reactions. This creates the social proof that makes PCL real — "Your neighbours just won. Is your door in next month's draw?" Becomes a monthly content franchise for FY27.

  • ✓ Real-world proof of the “Win Together” promise
  • ✓ Monthly earned media + social content automatically generated
  • ✓ Scales into a FY27 tentpole moment
  • ✓ Community activation in every target postal code

The Data Advantage

Attention Intelligence

Measure what matters, optimize what works

Optimized Delivery

Outcome measurement built into the campaign from day one. We track which buildings, markets, and creative executions drive actual PCL signups — then continuously optimize delivery toward the environments that convert. Every dollar works harder as the campaign learns.

Pixel Tracking

See when and where buildings are responding in real time. Pixel tracking lets us correlate screen exposure with PCL website visits and signups at the building level, dynamically adjusting creative weight, frequency, and dayparting to maximize conversion windows.

Share of Mention

Social tracking across platforms to measure earned media generated by the campaign. The physical elevator wraps, Red Door Condo Hunt UGC, and condo party room celebrations will all generate organic social content we can track, attribute, and amplify.
