# Bus Shelter Jazz Clubs This Bus Stop in Pittsburgh Was Transformed into a Tiny Concert Hall By Rebecca Byers | Published 2015-08-15 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bus-shelter References: [popupcity.net](http://popupcity.net/waiting-for-the-bus-at-pittsburghs-smallest-jazz-club/) & [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/pittsburghsmallestjazzclub) This playful project funded by Awesome Pittsburgh sees a regular bus shelter transformed into Pittsburgh's [Smallest Jazz Club](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jazz-bar-experience). Located in the city's cultural district, the [immersive bus shelter experience](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/activation-at-kings-cross) is reinvigorated by a high-quality sound system that plays non-stop music by local non-profit [Manchester Craftmen's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/latin-america-brand-ambassador) Guild Jazz and features images of jazz musicians on the shelter walls. While several highly successful commercial campaigns have popped up in South America that transform bus stops in a similar interactive fashion, this one is unique in that its goal is purely to brighten the day of the average commuter while highlighting a local non-profit. The feel-good project by Awesome Pittsburgh only required $1,000 of funding and is indicative of the future of outdoor ads. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Interactive](https://www.trendhunter.com/interactive) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Interactive Bus Stop Experiences:** Transforming bus stops into immersive environments with interactive elements could create unique and engaging advertising opportunities. - **Localized Non-profit Partnerships:** Collaborating with local non-profit organizations can help promote their work and bring positivity to everyday experiences. - **Low-budget Outdoor Advertising:** Creating impactful outdoor ads with limited funding showcases the potential for cost-effective marketing strategies. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Advertising and Marketing:** Incorporating interactive elements into outdoor advertising campaigns can capture attention and create memorable brand experiences. - **Non-profit Organizations:** Partnering with businesses or creative projects can raise awareness and support for non-profit initiatives. - **Transportation and Urban Infrastructure:** Revitalizing bus stops with innovative concepts creates opportunities to enhance the overall urban commuting experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Recycled-Steel Bus Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazon-bus-station.md) - [Public Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith.md) - [Cooling Bus Shelter Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cooling-bus-shelter.md) - [Beer-Pouring Party Billboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jubel-billboard.md) - [Real-Time Adaptive Audio Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interrail.md) - [Musical-Themed Kinetic Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daydreamer.md) - [Billboard-Transformed Tent Shelters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lifesaving-outdoors.md) - [Inflated Vibrant Futuristic Buses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mutated-school-bus.md) - [Kinetic Musical Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/musical-bench.md)
