It's exciting to see a publisher like Schwartz Media making the most of a one-to-many platform like programmatic DOOH. They're not just testing the waters, they're diving in head first, and it's great to see!

Creating a dynamic campaign that focuses on a specific segment in these populated areas is a great way to reach a new audience. Hopefully the campaign features more than just Schwartz Media marketing material and includes things like relevant news, weather, sports, and more.

JCDecaux Australia CEO - Steve O'Connor

Our Thoughts:

Airport networks are extremely valuable in the OOH industry, especially in the ANZ region, and even more so with recent insights revealing how valuable they are to advertisers. They're premium locations that have a big impact on viewer behaviour!

This is an important contract as it will ensure that not only existing screens are operational, but that they are upgraded. It's also great to hear that new roadside screens will be installed.

  • This is just part of a larger partnership between the AFL and oOh!, and follows on from two massive creative campaigns from last year

    • 2022 Toyota AFL Final Series, with 8 flags that changed depending on who lost

    • Live Scores, when videos, news, and photos from the finals was broadcast across the network

β€œWe’ve combined the concepts used to deliver real-time live game scores from the AFL finals and the Australian Open, but the key evolution here is that AFL fans can influence what happens on our screens in real time. We are delivering this fun, competitive experience at scale and speed, whilst still maintaining oOh’s high level of brand safety.”

oOh! Head of Audience, Marketing & Content Technology - Ian Grant

Our Thoughts:

We love seeing what the team at POLY cook up, they always smash it out of the park and really showcase the best of DOOH's capabilities. This is a great way for the fans to get involved and support their team.

It also shows how DOOH can be an asset for businesses, and not just something that displays advertising content. Plus, if advertisers can create similar content, they'll generate huge returns on investment.

We're keen to see what POLY and AFL launch next!

  • This is a total of $8.6 billion of revenue for the industry, beating the previous record which was set in 2019

OAAA President & CEO - Anna Bager

Our Thoughts:

The US OOH market is massive, both in terms of revenue and screen count - but improved revenue in the double digits is always impressive. Especially as it beat so many predictions and expectations.

D/OOH really is on the rise across the globe, and brands are starting to understand that by adding D/OOH to their marketing stack, they'll see massive returns they couldn't find elsewhere.

Featured Creative 🎨πŸ₯€ - Anamorphic Coca-Cola Ad Breaches Real World

Coca-Cola has bridged the gap between physical and digital with one of its latest campaigns at SΓ£o Paulo’s Guarulhos International Airport. Johannes Vermeer's "Girl With A Pearl Earring" can be found handing out cokes to passersby.

The campaign involves a 3D creative of the famous painting and combines it with a nearby vending machine to provide an awesome experience.

We love seeing 3D creatives, and we love seeing interactive elements to DOOH, so it's a no-brainer that we would love something like this!
