Ask any layman to think of advertising and one of the first images that will spring to mind is a big, bold billboard. There can be no denying that traditional outdoor advertising is one of the quintessential marketing mediums. It is literally the biggest form of regular media. But it is changing fast. Digital technologies and new thinking mean billboards and screens are much more high-tech, interactive and personalized than the giant hoardings of old. Anyone who has worked in the out-of-home industry for more than five years has already seen it transform almost beyond recognition. And it continues to change.
Campaign’s Out-Of-Home breakfast briefing on October 29, 2019 looks at how the OOH market is developing, and in particular how it is being seen in the eyes of the marketers. The event was a must-attend for clients, agencies and suppliers interested in how marketing is developing and how to take full advantage of an exciting future.

While online advertising and social media spend are taking bites from the budgets assigned to many more traditional media channels, in the region outdoor advertising is standing strong. Many markets see budgets remaining stable, and in some places spend is even growing. A leading media spend expert analyses out-of-home advertising spend projections to see if and when this trend is likely to change.
