About OOH

What is Out of Home Advertising?

Out of Home (OOH) or Outdoor advertising is third-party advertising that can be seen in public and shared spaces, external to the home. It is a growing media channel with an unmatchable audience reach that is designed to be seen by consumers on the go.

Environments and formats

OOH advertising formats are segmented into three environments-
roadside, transit and retail/lifestyle.

Roadside

From directing to a road trip detour to entertaining us at traffic lights and on footpaths, roadside OOH stimulates our journeys.

  • Billboards
  • Free standing units
  • Bus & tram shelters
  • Kiosks
  • Phone booths
  • Street furniture
