Out-of-Home communication (also known as OOH advertising or outdoor advertising) has always had a unique presence in the everyday lives of consumers.
To better understand what OOH means: Out-of-Home communication refers to any type of message that strikes a consumer while he is away from home.
Usually, the most direct association of marketing or outdoor advertising refers to the billboards.
However, OOH communication is much more than that, being possible to be installed in airports, elevators, commercial establishments, public services, etc.
2. What is DOOH?
Physical presence is the strong point of this communication, which has always managed to create a totally immersive experience for the public.

With the introduction of new technologies, the use of digital billboards in different places, has become even more interesting. And so came the DOOH communication.
Digital-Out-Of-Home (DOOH), is a digital communication media that can measure consumer behaviors very efficiently, among other very interesting features that we will continue to address in this article.
