"We are excited to see another record-breaking quarter for OOH, underscoring its enduring relevance and effectiveness in today’s media landscape." - Anna Bager, President & CEO, OAAA Great to see ADWEEK's Paul Hiebert cover another record breaking quarter for OOH. In Q3 2024, OOH ad spend reached an unprecedented $2.04B, marking a 4.3% increase from the same period last year. This growth is largely driven by DOOH, which accounted for 33.2% of quarterly sales, as well as the transit category, which generated the greatest growth compared to Q3 2023, increasing by 8.3%.

Had a great time at the OOH Day LA event hosted by OAAA at the Intuit Dome yesterday! I had the chance to speak on a panel moderated by my friend, Randy Kilgore, alongside the fantastic Louanne Wallace and Rick Robinson. We discussed the power of OOH (Out of Home) and how it connects cities, consumers, and communities through creativity, data, and collaboration.  Big thanks to Randy and Reveal Mobile for the opportunity to be part of the conversation! 🙌🏻
