Another Quarter of growth for Out of Home

The Out of Home (OOH) industry has posted an increase of 7.2% on net media revenue year-on-year in the third quarter of 2017, posting $199.9 million, up from $186.4 million* for the third quarter in 2016.

Digital revenue is sitting at 46.0% of total net media revenue year-to-date, which is an increase over the recorded 38.8% for the same period last year.

“This continued growth, since post the GFC in 2009, is a reflection of OOH’s ability to be a viable advertising channel despite the major disruption other traditional and new media channels are facing. OOH has a credible and proven metric, its audiences continue to grow and the industry’s investment in digital signs are a few
of the reasons that sees our revenue growth go from strength to strength,” said Charmaine Moldrich, CEO, OMA.

“And our clients are embracing the many new opportunities to engage with audiences, we are seeing more and more innovative and creative campaigns that are getting a reaction. Advertisers are using the strength of OOH as a media multiplier and leveraging on the platform’s ability to deliver creative opportunities everywhere,” continued Moldrich.
