Out-of-Home Advertising Opportunities with Google

OOH Targeting is All About Contextual Advertising

If you’ve spent any time working in Google’s Display and Video 360 campaigns, then you know targeting revolves around unique identifiers such as location and behavioral data.

With the new out-of-home advertising opportunities via Google, advertisers can expect to reach audiences based on the contextual information of the screen location. Ads can be shown based on location and the time of day, increasing relevancy for brands looking to tap the public screen space.

For example, ad screens placed along city streets may show coffee ads to passersby during the morning rush while serving sports ads during the commute home. The element of context leads the way when it comes to OOH ads, as messaging may vary from urban stadiums to suburban shopping centers.

Enjoying the Benefits of Programmatic

Leveraging Google’s existing partnerships with ad exchanges and DSPs, advertisers will have instant access to the perks of programmatic advertising — including the ability to run multiple versions of ads during different times of day or according to the latest weather events. Again, this can all be easily managed through the Google Ads platform.
