The DOOH Opportunity: How OOH is Becoming a Bigger Piece of the Media Mix Pie
Out-of-Home (OOH) advertising is having a fantastic run. It is the only traditional media channel to consistently grow over the last 10 years and is expected to continue growing in 2019, according to the Outdoor Advertising Association of America.
