What this is

Out-of-home advertising is a physical placement — a billboard, a transit panel, street furniture or a venue takeover — sold directly by the operator that owns or leases the space. It is almost always quoted as a flat rate for a booking period, a week or a month, rather than per impression, though digital OOH screens increasingly sell programmatically through a private marketplace as well.

Questions

Is out-of-home ever bought programmatically?

A growing share of digital OOH screens are — sold through a private marketplace or a network's own platform, priced and targeted more like digital media. Traditional static billboards are still sold directly, by the period.

How long is a typical OOH booking?

Most operators sell in fixed periods — commonly two or four weeks for a static site — rather than by the day, though this varies by market and format.

Does the rate include production of the physical creative?

Not usually — the quoted rate is for the space itself; printing, installation and any production cost are typically separate, and worth confirming before booking.
