Growing Significance of Programmatic and Data in OOH Advertising

Are you part of the OOH (Out-Of-Home) or the Digital OOH (DOOH) advertising industry? Then exciting times are ahead for you. Recent advancements in AdTech have led to the rise of one of the biggest trends ever seen in the OOH format. Yes, we are talking about programmatic OOH advertising. A significant global demand for programmatic OOH ads is expected in 2024 and beyond. In fact, most of the spending in OOH campaigns this year will be driven by a rapid expansion in programmatic OOH and data advertising. In this post, we will understand the growing significance of programmatic and data in OOH advertising.

What is programmatic OOH advertising?

Programmatic OOH advertising is the process of automatic buying, selling, and delivering out-of-home advertising. Unlike traditional OOH advertising, programmatic OOH advertising uses computers to orchestrate the sale and distribution of ad content. This is quite similar to what is prevalent in typical online advertising. The only difference is – in programmatic OOH advertising, customers define specific parameters for media acquisition, which then performs programmatic data analysis and triggers automatic ad purchases upon fulfillment of these criteria.
With that introduction, let us understand why programmatic OOH advertising has grown in importance in recent years.

Why is the significance of programmatic OOH advertising surging?

Here are 6 different reasons why programmatic OOH advertising is the new talk of the town in the OOH industry:

1. Quicker activation
          Advertising and marketing are extremely time-dependent. Even a couple of days you waste in launching a campaign can be the difference between a successful sale and a lost sale. This is where programmatic OOH advertising helps, as it lets you quickly upload, schedule, and initiate campaigns. Put simply; it doesn’t matter if your campaign has to align with the latest social trends or if you need to respond promptly to a market shift; programmatic OOH ensures the timely delivery of campaigns.

2.Real-time optimization
          Programmatic OOH advertising can help optimize your campaigns in real time, a key requirement in the OOH industry. Advertisers can dynamically enhance their campaigns thanks to continuous monitoring of campaign performance and the generation of advanced reports. Advertisers can swiftly adjust their messaging, targeting criteria, and creative components as and when needed. This proactive, real-time model enables data-driven decision-making.

3. Dynamic Creative Optimization
          Imagine you run an OOH creative display campaign during an Ashes test match between England and Australia. If England beats Australia, you would want the creative to change quickly to congratulate England so that fans witness the congratulatory message while returning home. This is made possible via Programmatic OOH thanks to its Dynamic Creative Optimization capabilities. Advertisers can also modify content such as images and ad copies based on unique factors such as weather conditions and traffic information. For instance, you can display ads based on the temperature or UV index to display the most relevant ad creative.

4. Improved targeting

          Programmatic DOOH also enables you to reach your desired audience with amazing accuracy. It uses a data-driven and programmatic strategy to help you carefully target specific demographics and locations, which ultimately helps in pushing hyper-relevant and personalized messages. Even granular factors such as the time of day can be used to improve your targeting capabilities. Ultimately, programmatic targeting ensures that all your ads are more impactful and result in better conversion rates. 

Improved Targeting

5. Creative opportunities
          Programmatic OOH advertising has unlocked a cartload of opportunities for advertisers. Thanks to the creative flexibility programmatic OOH offers, advertisers can run an ad on a wide variety of screens. Be it a small TV in a gym to a large screen in a shopping mall, advertisers can target people from walks of life that were previously unimaginable. Advertisers have all the knowledge at their fingertips, including who, where, and when someone will see their ad. This helps them build targeted messages into their creative that are supported by the ad’s physical surroundings.

         6. Integration capabilities
Programmatic OOH seamlessly integrates various data sources, including mobile and online data, amplifying campaign effectiveness through informed decision-making, optimization, and impact measurement. Moreover, this integration with other advertising channels, like digital and social media, fosters a smoother customer journey, augmenting the overall efficacy of OOH campaigns.
