What is DOOH advertising?

Digital out of home (DOOH) advertising is a marketing channel that uses digital infrastructure outside of the home, such as display panels in shopping centres and digital street signage.

Digital Out of Home in the UK has been on a dramatic growth path over recent years. Clear Channel has over 5,000 screens in neighbourhoods and communities nationwide, providing advertisers a perfect opportunity to scale-up digital executions and deliver highly relevant, flexible messaging to up to 68% of the UK adult population (Route).

Why use Digital OOH advertising?

Digital outdoor advertising can be a powerful tool to help brands reach their audiences as they move throughout their every day lives.  From large scale coverage to increased engagement, discover where, how, and why DOOH is the right channel for your brand:

Smash your objectives

Digital OOH campaigns are equally at home delivering large scale, emotive branding messages as they are rational, activation messages. Our Long Live DOOH study proved that digital not only outperforms classic in the short term, immediately after exposure, but is a channel that will continue to benefit from enhanced effectiveness weeks after exposure.
