The 6 adtech leaders include Adomni, Broadsign, Place Exchange, Verizon Media, VIOOH, and Vistar Media. They join forces to deliver parameters for defining programmatic DOOH inventory.

Ensuring a mutual understanding between the DOOH buyer and seller in the bid-stream and during the media transaction, these standards open up new inventory discovery opportunities, improve targeting, and promote greater knowledge equality within the programmatic DOOH industry.

Six leading digital-out-of-home (DOOH) technology platforms – Adomni, Broadsign, Place Exchange, Verizon Media, VIOOH, and Vistar Media, announced that they are coming together to bring standardization to digital-out-of-home venue (DOOH) data and help drive programmatic DOOH forward. Today, the consortium of ad tech innovators released a new set of recommendations, aligned with OpenRTB2.5, for labeling DOOH inventory in programmatic marketplaces based on screen type, audience and environment.

A range of naming conventions are used across DOOH transactions today to classify the same type of screen and venue. For example, “Retail” and “Mall” have historically been used interchangeably. In a programmatic marketplace, this nomenclature variation introduces challenges for DOOH transactions, which typically involve inventory from multiple publishers selling via different supply-side-platforms (SSPs). The new set of recommendations aims to bridge that gap, and reduce fragmentation. It provides DOOH publishers and SSPs with a common set of specifications for identifying DOOH venues and screens by specific geospatial and physical parameters and describing the associated conditions, environment and/or surroundings.

“Retail,” for instance is classified as a “Parent” account with “Mall” considered a “Child” account underneath it along with other “Child” accounts such as “Gas Station,” “Pharmacy,” or “Grocery Store.”
