When consumers take a break from smartphones, connected TVs, and computer screens, outdoor advertising is often there, promoting products and services on billboards and transit displays. Still, out-of-home (OOH) channels have also gone increasingly digital – today, online and programmatic solutions drive the industry's expansion worldwide. Mid-2023 estimates indicated that static OOH could barely grow half as fast as the digital OOH (or DOOH) subsegment between 2023 and 2025.
