We like to think of Twitter as something that compliments and adds to the strengths of other media - a bridge not an island. This is particularly true for Out of Home (OOH). It enjoys a symbiotic relationship with, and has much in common with Twitter. […]
The disappointment. The furrowed brow. Overall, the UK had a fairly poor showing in the ‘Screens, Digital Billboards or Digital Outdoor’ categories across Media, Outdoor and Cyber Lions this year. […]
The Board has appointed Tom Scott as interim President and CEO. All changes are effective immediately. […]
Outdoor advertising has been used for centuries—because it works. But now that we live our lives on screens and in bits and bytes, can Outdoor even compete? Absolutely. […]
The current median CPM (cost per thousand impressions) of transit shelters at $3.45 is higher than digital advertising with a median of about $2, but much lower than non-primetime TV spots at $8.99 and print magazines at $14.00. […]
In June of 2015, right after I joined TAB, I launched a survey among our members. The purpose of this survey was to identify the perceptions the industry held of our organization, what they wanted improved, and how we could better help their businesses. More than 230 members participated. […]

The LED display industry is rapidly evolving because of fine pixel pitch displays — technology defined by the increasingly narrow gap between the tiny LED lights that drive images. We all know outdoor LED displays from highway billboards, stadium scoreboards and Times Square advertising spectaculars. […]
Davis: I foresee a lot of opportunity for retailers with transparent OLED displays. It’s such an innovative technology and we have seen interest in retail installations, museum exhibits, broadcast, and corporate displays. They provide a glasses-free augmented reality experience for multiple viewers. […]

The Cannes Lions Festival of creativity never fails to surprise. Case in point, this year's Grand Prix award for outdoor advertisement was awarded to a beer-maker turned biofuel distributor. Heineken New Zealand's work for DB Export took home the prize with their appropriately named campaign "Brewtroleum. […]
New campaign for Dannon Yogurt goes beyond previous message-changing based only on “slow” and “fast” traffic. Digital billboards have taken another step — metaphorically speaking — toward becoming full-fledged interactive media. […]
Fliphound, an automated media buying platform for digital billboards, allows advertisers to choose and change billboard locations, swap creative and choose specific days and times of the day to advertise. “Fliphound is prepaid, so local businesses can hop on and put in $25 per day for a billboard,” says Elizabeth Farha, vice president of sales.
