Coca-Cola also spent heavily to promote its Coke Zero Dublinbikes initiative in the period, which accounted for €175k worth of spend.
"Soft Drinks ooh activity also more than doubled from 2013, with notable campaigns for Coca-Cola, Coke Zero – Dublinbikes, 7Up Free Tropical Splash, Lucozade Energy and Capri Sun," PML Group said in a statement.
Overall, Beers & Ciders accounted for the most Outdoor spend by category, with €1.43 million worth of spend. Soft Drinks accounted for €1.13 million worth of spend, while Confectionery & Snacking accounted for €983k worth of spend.
