Digital Takes to the Streets

The term “digital out-of-home marketing” covers a wide range of things from those video screens you see in your local supermarket to a video playing in a peep hole at a construction site.

Although digital out-of-home has been around for some time, it has recently begun to evolve from a way to deliver an interesting aesthetic to a true interaction with customers.  This evolution is consistent with what we’ve seen with other digital mediums. Users just don’t want to consume information pushed at them; they want to be engaged and truly interact.
