ut-of-home (OOH) advertising has always had
one primary goal: snag the attention of
passersby. In an increasingly cluttered and
preoccupied world, this goal may seem easier
said than done. But fear not, PSPs: one could argue that it's
actually the best time to be producing OOH campaigns.
Traditional out-of-home applications like billboards and
posters are now joined by vinyl-covered street furniture,
innovative transit wraps, breathtaking wall murals, interactive
digital media, and much more. With upwards of 300,000
billboards, 100,000 street furniture displays, 1.5 million transit
wraps, and 1.3 million place-based displays estimated to be
installed in the US in 2018, OOH revenue seems destined for
further growth, even after a record-high $7.7 billion in revenue in
2017. How can your shop capitalize on this ongoing expansion?
"OOH is growing because it complements digital media by
priming search, mobile, and social engagement," says Outdoor
Advertising Association of America (OAAA) President and CEO
Nancy Fletcher. Today's campaigns leverage the best of digital
print and the increasingly digital world; connected print allows
smartphone users to access online content through print media,

while digital signage lets consumers actually participate in a
campaign through hashtags and photo submissions. And, of
course, "Instagrammable" displays designed for selfies can
spread far and wide through social media. A little creativity - and
a lot of printed graphics - can go a long way.
The OAAA's 2018 OBIE Awards reflect the growing and
evolving OOH sector by honoring 60 winners across 18
categories, ranging from retail and entertainment to integrated
multimedia and contextual. "When designing for OOH, it's
important to make it beautiful, have fun with it, and tell
consumers something they need to know," says OBIE Chief
Judge Matt Murphy of ad agency 72andSunny, in a release.
This year's awardees took that advice to heart with stunning
and inventive campaigns.
Here, we present some of our favorite OBIE award winners
that prove out-of-home displays don't have to be limited to a
static billboard. (Though, as you'll see, billboards still shine in
this digital age!) Take a look, be inspired, and consider expanding your shop's repertoire.
