Track I : Omnichannel Marketing
How OOH Can Help Connect a Fragmented Media EcosystemThe nearly infinite number of screens, platforms and channels defining today’s media landscape make reaching consumers with cohesive brand experiences incredibly challenging. In this track industry experts unpack the power of OOH to breakthrough a fragmented media landscape, bridge the gap between IRL and URL, ultimately connecting with consumers wherever they are.
Track II Data Innovation
How OOH Can Help Brands Thrive in Today’s MarketplaceHigh performing campaigns that maximize impact and ROI have always been key for advertisers – and today’s complex macroeconomic environment is driving even greater focus on efficacy and efficiency. At the same time, ongoing cookie deprecation has resulted in renewed attention being paid to context, location and other data signals. In this track, industry experts explore how infusing data, creativity, and innovation into OOH’s legacy location and context strengths open a wide range of opportunities for brands to supercharge growth- even in challenging times.
Track III: Measurement in 2023 and Beyond
How OOH Can Deliver Metrics that Matter to BrandsUnderstanding efficacy and impact has always been important for advertisers, and increased sophistication around the KPIs that define it mean there is a far broader set of outcomes being measured by brands. In this track, industry experts discuss the innovative ways OOH can provide this information and insight, ultimately delivering the metrics that matter to today’s marketers.
