MOOHA will feature a self-governing member base that includes media owners and measurement organizations who share the goal of increasing awareness and ad revenue to the moving OOH sector. “Technology, measurement and attribution for ads on moving vehicles has increased to the point where advertisers are taking notice and investing significantly,” said Barry Frey, President and CEO of DPAA. “Brands and agencies saw this in action at The Cannes Lions Festival of Advertising last June, when the animated DPAA logo was featured on a big, beautiful LED screen trucking up and down the Croisette.” Said Sarah Parkes, Group Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, Talon, “As this sector develops, we are looking forward to much positive momentum. The time is right for this endeavor.”

OOH ad platform AdQuick has signed an agreement with Crackle Connex to add Redbox and Crackle advertising inventory to its of over 1,600 partners. “Redbox’s Digital Out of Home (DOOH) supply provides AdQuick’s buyers a great opportunity to align with over 40 million Redbox Perks members,” said Tim Ware, SVP of Programmatic Sales and Partnerships for Crackle Connex. “Redbox remains a primary provider of TVOD and PVOD home entertainment for millions of Americans and affords brands the opportunity to reach movie fans through their customer journey at top retailers.” Redbox’s supply is also now available for auction-based and reservation buying, as well as inclusion within multichannel measurement through AdQuick’s integrations with omnichannel platforms, including a previously announced partnership with TransUnion.

From transit displays to Times Square billboards, OUTFRONT was, well, out front for several Valentine’s Day campaigns. Moments in Food celebrated the season with recipes for X & O Shaped Cookies and Heart Print Cookies, while Victoria’s Secret’s Love and Lace Campaign showcased romance-wear in a series of studio portraits on NYC OUTRONT transit displays. OUTFRONT also joined forces with MaleRoom, the dating and lifestyle podcast, for 15-minute roadblock takeover on the cube in Times Square.

OUTFRONT also made news for billboards in San Diego promoting the re-elections of two City Council members. Nothing unusual about the billboards themselves, but they drew attention because the messages were paid for by OUTFRONT Media. In campaign filings this month, the company said the billboards would remain until Election Day, March 5.

SUSTAINABILITY

Ballyhoo Media continues to emphasize its sustainability efforts, joining forces with researchers from the Center for Ocean Mapping and Innovative Technologies (COMIT) at USF’s College of Marine Science and The International SeaKeepers Society to install data loggers on its digital billboard boats. The collaboration aims to support the Seabed 2030 Program, a global initiative dedicated to mapping the ocean floor for a sustainable future. Aligned with the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, the partnership will enlist of Ballyhoo Media’s fleet of digital billboard boats to gather essential data to drive scientific research. Ballyhoo’s Blue Beacon program, launched last year, is committed to championing environmental technologies and initiatives, including carbon offsetting, water testing, and clean-up campaigns.

WE GOTTA ASK…

What’s in store for grocery advertisers when it comes to advances in DOOH? “Grocery POV advertisers can look to new advances in Digital OOH inventory within and surrounding grocery stores, coupled with connected audience targeting (i.e. primary grocery shoppers, moms of young children, 30 minute cooks, etc.) as identified by online behavior and modeling, to reach shoppers at the right moment to inspire product preference or purchase,” says Rachel Klausner, SVP at Captify. “Marketers of grocery brands and products can engage and inspire throughout a consumer’s journey and daily life using digital signals to connect through both online and offline touch points. There are now screens with targeted advertising capabilities everywhere from the Uber someone takes to the store in an urban environment, to the gas pump they stop at on the way in a suburb, to sustained attention on the shopping cart itself, capturing attention at POS and everywhere in between. New advances in customer targeting for OOH can help identify which of these screens or environments indexes the highest for the exact customer profile or moment your brand is trying to reach, and digital delivery dynamically ensures your ad is seen by that audience, in a fully viewable, premium OOH environment.”

Static OOH is going strong, even with impressive advances in DOOH technology, according to Broadsign’s “State of Static OOH Report.” Among the 125 OOH professionals surveyed, two thirds were from companies with hybrid static/digital networks. Key findings include:
· Static OOH continues to thrive in the digital era. Nearly three-quarters media owners surveyed plan to keep at least 75% of their static OOH inventory intact for the foreseeable future.
· Size and location shape network experiences. On average, proof-of-performance (PoP) and proposal management are +120% more likely to cause issues for larger networks (1,501+ static faces) than smaller ones based on the results of our survey.
· Streamlining time-consuming static workflows is imperative – advertisers expect fast turnaround times, new creative, and the flexibility to make last-minute changes. 53% of the static OOH media owners surveyed believe that operational inefficiencies are putting them at a competitive disadvantage.
· OOH Technology is evolving quickly not just for digital marketers and advertisers, but also for OOH networks with static inventory. As the industry continues to embrace data-backed insights and a more agile approach to static campaign development, less than 9% of surveyed static OOH companies still see new technology integrations as a threat to their future growth.
· 64% of the static OOH companies surveyed have already pledged to reduce their carbon footprint, while an additional 17% already have plans to implement more sustainable practices within the next few years.

CTI, the AV integration and events provider, has acquired Vistacom, Inc. of Allentown, Pennsylvania, a command and control room integrator. “I have long admired the outstanding work done by the team at Vistacom,” said Tobi Tungl, Chief Marketing Officer. “The people-focused culture that’s powered their success is a solid match for CTI. By bringing together our strengths, I am confident our combined team will continue to do amazing work as we support client needs and expand access to opportunities for our employees.” CTI serves customers in the US from 35 locations nationwide and worldwide through the PSNI Global Alliance.

TECH TALK

Each of the 10 and 18 inch screens serves 15-second display ads for users to browse while waiting for their smartphones to be disinfected using UV light.
