OOH’s increasingly powerful voice and unique ability to capture consumer attention in high-traffic areas have app developers looking to billboards and street furniture for achieving product awareness and downloads.    

As the world of mobile apps becomes increasingly saturated with new products and services being presented to consumers each day, the ability to successfully stand apart from competitors with a unique voice requires an equally unique marketing strategy. Enter out-of-home advertising.

According to the most recent consumer engagement report by OAAA and The Harris Poll, of the 77% of consumers in cities of 1M+ population that have recently engaged with an OOH ad, 39% searched for more information about the product, and 28% of consumers (46% of Generation-Z and 38% of Millennials) have gone on to download an app being advertised.  

When taking into consideration the increased OOH engagement brought on by the recent pandemic, it’s clear that app developers have a golden opportunity for engaging consumers who are overwhelmed by ads in the virtual world.
