Outdoor advertising, or out-of-home (OOH) media, displays brand messages to consumers in public spaces, such as billboards, transit spots, and street furniture. It offers high visibility, 24/7 exposure, and, with the rise of digital billboards (DOOH), real-time content flexibility to target specific demographics.
Key Types of Outdoor Advertising
- Billboards: Large, high-traffic, static or digital, including spectaculars and bulletins.
- Street Furniture: Ads on bus shelters, kiosks, benches, and phone booths.
- Transit: Advertising on buses, trains, taxis, subways, and in stations.
- Place-Based: Placed in specific, high-dwell-time locations like airports, malls, or stadiums.
