Another record-breaking quarter for out of home (OOH) advertising! In Q3 2024, OOH ad spend hit an impressive $2.04 billion, a 4.3% increase compared to last year. Digital continues to shine, driving growth with a 7.3% year-over-year rise and now accounting for one-third of total OOH revenue. Political advertising and top brands like McDonald's, Apple, and Amazon are continuing to double down on their investments to leverage OOH to engage audiences in meaningful ways. As OOH continues to prove its effectiveness, the future of our medium looks brighter than ever.
"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%.
