Company Overview
Out of Home (OOH) advertising is rapidly evolving, offering advertisers a dynamic range of formats and cutting-edge technologies to engage consumers in the physical world. This growth has outpaced traditional advertising mediums, but until recently, OOH couldn’t be bought programmatically—until now.
For years, buyers have been dissatisfied with so-called “programmatic” OOH solutions that merely automate traditional, siloed processes. These solutions still required separate integrations, workflows, and creatives, while failing to deliver key benefits such as impression-level buying and device-level attribution, which are essential for true programmatic power.
