Overview

OAAA’s Digital Video OOH Buyers Guide is designed for marketers and agencies evaluating video-enabled OOH inventory. The buyer perspective matters because a public or place-based screen does not behave like a personal online-video impression: environment, dwell time, sound, screen orientation, loop structure and creative length can all change what a useful placement looks like. Use this guide after general DOOH fundamentals and before finalizing a video OOH plan or creative brief.
