How to up your omnichannel marketing game with programmatic DOOH
In January this year (2023), Research by JCDecaux and MTM revealed that on average, people who buy programmatic digital out of home (prDOOH) are also involved in planning and buying at least four other channels. However, only just over half (54%) of prDOOH buyers are always directly involved in the planning and/or buying of one or more non-OOH channels.

Tentpole marketing has been a long-standing component of any marketing mix.

How to Maintain Brand Loyalty & Reach New Consumers through DOOH
With inflation and talks of a looming recession being a major concern for consumers, many Americans are in a more price-sensitive mindset and are likely to be focused on value in their purchases. Whenever consumers are highly focused on their finances or typical behavior patterns are disrupted, it’s possible for brand loyalty to drop. People are clearly still spending, but where they’re spending money is changing.

Cross Channel Synergies - Benefits of Combining Mobile & DOOH
Combining mobile and digital out of home (DOOH) advertising has become a popular strategy for marketers looking to reach their target audience more effectively. Although mobile focuses on a one-to-one interaction and DOOH provides a one-to-many approach, they share the benefit of offering a continuum of messages that can connect with consumers throughout their journey.

Out \ Look: Bringing Brands to Life on OOH
Aaron Poole, marketing executive, PML Group with this week’s Out \ Look on Out of Home.
As part of our 2023 Planning Guide, PML Group published Touchpoints – our holistic overview of trends we consider to be of importance on OOH this year. As part of those trends, we examined how brands can play to OOH strengths as a trusted channel for both brand building and performance. Today, we take a deep dive into the brand power than can be generated when Outdoor is effectively leveraged.
OOH - the first, and the best, medium?
“It’s AN original” or “it’s THE original” are expressions most likely to be used to describe the first of something, the benchmark, the epitome, that which can never be surpassed, a thing to set the standard or, sometimes, just a term of absolute reverence.
In the media world, you can safely apply “original” to Out of Home advertising. It is well-documented that the first forms of outdoor advertising go right back to ancient Egypt. So, in terms of media originality, the prize clearly goes to the Out of Home obelisk where the ancient Thebans carved their first ‘advertising’ messages.
OOH advertising attracts more attention than social media, streaming ads: UK-based 75Media
The out-of-home advertising sector continues to flourish. According to the latest statistics, classic billboard revenue grew 33 per cent year-on-year in 2022, whilst digital billboards grew by 30 per cent*.
Given the impact a billboard can have for an advertising business, that’s perhaps unsurprising. According to YouGov data analysed by 75Media (an outdoor advertising operator with a growing network of classic and digital billboards in towns and cities across the UK), 23 per cent of people say they are likely to pay attention to out-of-home (OOH) advertising – higher than social media advertising and over double that of streaming ads.
SUSTAINABILITY
Net Zero: we need to hurdle three huge obstacles
In advance of Earth Day, Good-Loop’s Hannah Williams examines what is holding up decisive progress on decarbonising the digital advertising ecosystem.
As a significant driving force within the global economy and an important point of influence and engagement for the public, the ad industry can play a key part in supporting the charge to a net carbon zero future.
But with Earth Day looming, what progress has been made across Adland in tackling its own carbon footprint? Certainly, sustainability – particularly across digital channels – has become a key topic across the industry over the last 18 months.
TECHNOLOGY
The Giving Back Story
Transport for London (TfL) has worked in collaboration with Outsmart, Clear Channel, Global, and JCDecaux to produce a new report highlighting the positive social impact of Out of Home advertising.
The impact of OOH advertising, particularly in London, is truly significant - London without OOH advertising wouldn’t be London at all. It’s an intrinsic part of our collective identity. It’s our point of difference. It’s a public medium that mirrors the economic and cultural depth of this global city. Just imagine for a moment Piccadilly Circus without the Piccadilly lights. Or long, poster-less tube corridors. Or buses without the latest London shows showcased on their sides.
3D DOOH can't be a blip in the innovation timeline of OOH
Andrew Phipps Newman of Kinetic’s partner production studio DOOH.com looks fondly at the magic of 3D DOOH and its potential to leave a lasting impression.
The out-of-home (OOH) industry is great at innovation and our clients love media first, but so many innovations are never seen again because transformation is needed to make them more ubiquitous.
If 3D digital out-of-home (DOOH) doesn’t evolve and transform, it could be another blip in the innovation evolution timeline of OOH. It must scale and align with a one-to-many media channel to gain the support of the industry and our clients.
MEASUREMENT
Why LSM is giving way to SEM - How we live vs. what we have
ProActive™, the dedicated activation agency of Provantage, consistently gathers measured insight into consumer habits, economic segments and behaviours. LSM (Living Standards Measure) has traditionally served as the accepted audience measurement benchmark for many years. However, Proactive is upholding new industry standards by moving towards SEM (Socio-Economic Measure), which is becoming more widely used.
