“Today’s advertising creatives and media planners grew up with the internet in the palm of their hands; they get digital media and push it forward,” said Stephen Freitas, OAAA’s chief marketing officer. “We want to show them some ideas are too big to stay trapped online. Bold ideas need a bold platform.”
Freitas added, “Our goal is to spark conversation about how today’s responsive, engaging OOH medium can elevate any idea, creating magnetism and distinction.”
For the next month, Lamar will feature creative from the “Get Out of Home” campaign on nearly 1,000 of its digital billboards across the country and on 22 static billboards in Austin, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit and Seattle. Nationwide the campaign is being featured on more than 50,000 OOH units, including 27 digital screen networks, in 30 major U.S. markets.
