Not Your Mother’s Billboards: Adding Digital Out of Home to the Media Mix

The options for media consumption are proliferating, making it increasingly difficult for advertisers to reach their target audiences, particularly in the wide-reaching way linear TV once routinely delivered. As such, savvy marketers are turning to emerging media channels to help fulfill audience reach and connect with viewers in a meaningful way. Yet previously untried media do not have known performance benchmarks for specific brands, making them a necessary risk to marketers.

This presentation will discuss everything a marketer needs to know about adding digital out of the home to their media mix: from planning and creative production to data, measurement, and attribution. It will also go a step further to explore the implications of consumers’ psychological responses to omnichannel marketing campaigns, along with attitudinal and behavioral reactions to digital out of the home.
