NPCI Campaign
NPCI
Building Payment Brand Trust with Diaspora Audiences
NPCI sought to grow brand recognition and payment adoption among Singapore's South Asian community — a population that maintains strong financial ties to India through remittances, cross-border transactions, and travel. OOH was the natural medium: it cannot be skipped, blocked, or scrolled past, making it essential for sustained brand imprinting. Digital advertising alone lacks the physical permanence and cultural resonance needed to build credibility within a community-oriented neighbourhood like Little India.
Unskippable Presence in Community Corridors
South Asian foot traffic along Syed Alwi Road is consistent and habitual — commuters, shoppers, and diners pass this corridor repeatedly. OOH builds the frequency and familiarity that payment brands require to earn consumer trust.
Backlit Visibility Day and Night
Backlit displays maintain strong visual impact across all dayparts, ensuring NPCI's brand is prominent both during daytime retail hours and into the high-traffic evening period. The illuminated format commands attention without requiring active audience engagement.
Exclusive Access to Little India Inventory
TPM holds exclusive licensee agreements at Mustafa Centre and other Little India-area properties, giving NPCI access to inventory unavailable through any other OOH agency in Singapore. TPM's direct relationships ensure premium placement without intermediary markups.
Little India Cultural Gateway (Syed Alwi Road)
Syed Alwi Road is one of Singapore's most culturally dense corridors, drawing a daily audience of South Asian residents, workers, and visitors who represent NPCI's core target demographic. The backlit format ensures maximum visibility through evening hours when foot traffic peaks along this retail and dining strip. As a form of Street Level Media, this placement intercepts audiences at ground level in an environment where they are naturally engaged and receptive.

NPCI Campaign
NPCI deployed a strategically positioned backlit display at the Little India Cultural Gateway on Syed Alwi Road, placing the brand directly in front of Singapore's South Asian community at a location exclusive to The Perfect Media Group.
NPCI ran a targeted OOH campaign in Singapore's Little India district, using a backlit display at the Little India Cultural Gateway on Syed Alwi Road to reach South Asian residents, workers, and visitors. The placement was chosen for its cultural alignment with NPCI's core demographic and its consistent pedestrian traffic. TPM's Street Level Media network made this precision targeting possible within one of Singapore's most community-dense neighbourhoods.
Syed Alwi Road is the commercial spine of Singapore's Little India district, attracting a high concentration of South Asian audiences who are the primary target for NPCI's payment services and brand awareness objectives. The Little India Cultural Gateway (Syed Alwi Road) offers street-level visibility in a high-dwell environment where the audience is relaxed, familiar, and receptive. The cultural context of the location reinforces brand credibility for a financial infrastructure brand seeking community trust.
A backlit display is an illuminated static advertising panel that uses internal lighting to ensure vivid, consistent brand visibility across all dayparts — including dawn, dusk, and nighttime. Unlike non-illuminated formats, backlit displays maintain full creative impact during evening hours when foot traffic in retail corridors like Syed Alwi Road remains high. For a brand like NPCI, the format delivers repeated, high-quality impressions to a habitual audience without requiring any active engagement from the viewer.
Payment and fintech brands depend on trust, and trust is built through repeated, credible brand presence — exactly what Static OOH delivers in community environments. Unlike performance digital ads that interrupt and are often ignored, a well-placed outdoor display integrates into the daily visual environment of a target audience, reinforcing familiarity over time. In corridors like Little India, where financial decisions around remittances and cross-border payments are made regularly, proximity to the community is a direct strategic asset.
Yes — TPM operates 30+ owned media locations across Singapore, with exclusive long-term licensee agreements at landmark properties including People's Park Complex, Mustafa Centre, Queensway Shopping Centre, Hotel Boss, and Hotel 81 properties, none of which are available through any other OOH agency. TPM can build campaigns that span community districts, retail corridors, transport hubs, and hotel environments to deliver layered audience coverage. Beyond Singapore, TPM has active inventory and direct relationships across Indonesia, Myanmar, and Vietnam for brands requiring regional reach.
