Overview

The Shift Toward Audience-Based DOOH Buying explains how programmatic technology and audience data are changing the planning unit from a fixed place to the people likely to be present around that place at the right time. It contrasts traditional network or geography-based buying with campaigns informed by audience characteristics, behavior and movement patterns.
