Partners Catalina, Epsilon, IRI and NCSolutions support DOOH measurement and optimization

Yahoo announced In-Flight Sales Analysis (ISA) for digital out-of-home (DOOH), allowing advertisers to tie online and offline sales with DOOH ad exposures, as well as measure and optimize for near real-time campaign performance. The solution is enabled by integrations with leading and trusted data providers Catalina, Epsilon, IRI, and NCSolutions.

Ninety-one percent¹ of advertisers believe DOOH contributes to both upper and lower funnel key performance indicators like brand awareness and conversions or sales. Traditionally, lower funnel metrics like sales are measured weeks after a campaign. With Yahoo’s In-Flight Sales Analysis, however, advertisers can now understand performance during a live DOOH campaign and make near real-time optimizations to improve campaign effectiveness. Advertisers trust Yahoo’s industry-leading ISA solution to provide insights across a multitude of channels like video, display, native, audio, and CTV. Now, by expanding to DOOH, Yahoo is giving advertisers an even greater holistic, omnichannel view of their media mix.
