Out-of-Home Advertising (OOH)
Out-of-Home Advertising (OOH) refers to advertising formats that reach consumers when they are outside their homes, such as billboards, transit ads, bus shelters, and street furniture.
What Is Out-of-Home Advertising?
OOH advertising reaches consumers as they go about their daily lives, delivering high-impact brand messages through strategically placed media. It includes both traditional static formats and dynamic digital advertising across urban, transit, and retail locations.
Why Is OOH Advertising Important?
OOH remains one of the most effective advertising channels for reaching mass audiences. A well-executed OOH strategy helps brands:
- Increase Brand Awareness: Large-format, high-traffic placements make a lasting impression.
- Reach Targeted Audiences: Location-based targeting ensures relevance.
- Enhance Cross-Channel Campaigns: OOH supports digital, social, and experiential marketing.
- Improve Ad Recall: Consumers remember OOH ads longer than digital banners.

1. Billboards & Digital Billboards
Large-format advertising in high-traffic areas, available in static and digital formats.
2. Transit Advertising
