What is OAAA?2020-05-06T23:54:16-05:00

Today’s out of home medium offers new technologies, new formats, and more creative thinking to help advertisers and their agencies take their message further. The industry has embraced innovation in all parts of the business to keep pace with where advertising and the consumer are headed.

The OOH industry is introducing new digital technologies and convergence, new lighting and materials, more innovative business practices, and a new audience ratings system.

OOH reaches consumers no matter what their media consumption habits are. It goes where most other media can’t go to surround and immerse consumers out of home, where they spend 70 percent of their waking hours.

OOH’s versatile formats offer ‘blank canvas’ creative potential to break through the clutter and hold people’s attention, wherever they work, shop, travel, and play.

OOH is highly adaptable, offering virtually unlimited potential. It can be:

  • Anything: From billboards to digital boards, from bus wraps to kiosks
  • Anywhere: From highways to city streets, from airports to shopping malls
  • Anytime: From morning ‘til night with dynamic content and always on displays that grab people’s attention when they’re on the go
