Overview
Vistar Media’s broad DOOH explainer is useful when a team needs one resource that connects the medium itself with programmatic buying and measurement. It explains digital out-of-home as a channel spanning multiple public-screen environments and discusses how DOOH can work alongside mobile and other digital media. The measurement section introduces reporting dimensions buyers commonly encounter in a DOOH DSP, including impressions, market and venue type, data costs and campaign spend. Because the guide is written by a platform provider, it should be read as a vendor perspective rather than a neutral industry standard, but it is still a practical introduction to the workflow and terminology advertisers will see in the market.
