04 What we do The intersection of the digital and the physical OUT OF HOME (OOH) IS A POWERFUL PLATFORM BROADCASTING A RANGE OF BREAK- THROUGH TECHNOLOGIES, INNOVATIVE MESSAGING, AND CREATIVE EXECUTIONS. In a world of media fragmentation, where we block, skip, fast-forward and carefully curate content, we also gravitate into the outdoor space for our daily journeys: to work, to find food, to find love, and to socialise. Reaching 93% of the Australian population each day, OOH has continued to deliver scale, impact and reach. Add in digital signs, and what we see is that OOH now delivers even more opportunities.

OOH is adaptable and nimble, amplifying messages in ways that integrate with the consumer’s experience at a particular time or place. Digital OOH (DOOH) signs are further strengthening OOH, taking it from a passive medium to one that can be fully interactive; a potential one-stop shop for promotion, engagement, and transaction. The immediacy and flexibility of DOOH is such that messaging can now be formatted to match the weather, the time of day, or even social, political, and sporting events. DOOH increases the relevance of brand messages with unlimited creative potential. OMA members continue to push the boundaries, searching for innovative ways to incorporate new technology into OOH. In 2017, DOOH net media revenue represented 47.3% of total OOH media revenue, up from 40.2% for the same period last year. 14 TOTAL OOH MEDIA REVENUE
