OOHMAA GM Natasha O’Connor said: “And, while still in its infancy, Programmatic Digital Out of Home[ pDOOH] has experienced steady growth since OOHMAA started reporting its numbers early this year; in Q3, pDOOH has almost doubled from Q2, from 2.6% share of Digital media revenue Q2 up to 4.3% in Q3.

“Out of Home’s growth YTD has been gratifying to see in a challenging market; the most significant challenge being our largest city experiencing heavy covid restrictions for much of Q1 & Q2.

“Despite this, and the wider national concerns of an increase in living costs, falling house prices and ongoing talk of a recession, we’ve seen strong growth of 10% for the channel YTD.


“Our revenue results to date reflect the continued faith agencies and advertisers have in our channel to deliver results.
