Which recent OOH campaign inspired you?
Highlighting a community imperative, Twitter’s latest mask up campaign focuses on the motivation to protect ourselves and others at a point of virus fatigue. Their research showed that over 100 million tweets in March were mask-related and the debate has continued to rage on, like the virus. Twitter recognizes OOH’s value proposition with their investment over the last few years, investing where there is a clear return. They have translated the words that define them to compelling messages living in the real world that can’t be missed.

What is the next big thing for OOH?
The proof that OOH drives awareness and creates demand. Even though OOH is one of the most cost-effective mediums based on CPMs, it needs to demonstrate cause and effect more consistently and convincingly. A recent Harris poll study clearly demonstrates the public’s receptivity to OOH.
Covid-19 has tightened ad budgets globally and increased demand for evidence that every dollar spent exponentially drives revenue while making it more efficient. There are many attribution tools at a marketer’s disposal, some publicly available and others proprietary; collecting the data that measures and optimizes campaign performance relative to the advertiser’s KPIs will lead to larger allocations for the OOH media budget.
