“We work with Vistar because it is the only end-to-end programmatic software provider offering a single solution specifically designed for the complexities of DOOH.”

The scale of individual brand investment in the programmatic OOH channel is significantly increasing as well. Within the U.S. alone, eighteen brands spent more than $1M on programmatic OOH campaigns in 2021, with more than half of those brands spending upwards of $2M. This reflects the transition of programmatic to becoming a core component of brands’ media strategies.
