Out-of-Home Media: The Impact on Communication
As out-of-home (OOH) ads are a form of communication that goes beyond screens and mobile devices. They consist of physical spaces, such as outdoors, murals, storefronts, etc., where the message is presented to the target audience. Unlike traditional media, OOH do not require the viewer's attention to be consumed - the content is there, waiting for the observer.
