How does OOH advertising increase the effectiveness of online campaigns?

Digital advertising and social media play a key role in marketing strategies; however, Out-of-Home (OOH) advertising, Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH), and campaigns in public transportation are gaining importance as effective support for online activities, bringing new value to integrated campaigns. More and more companies are recognizing that combining OOH with online campaigns can significantly increase their effectiveness.

According to numerous studies, OOH advertising not only builds brand recognition but also drives online activities such as searches and social media interactions. This article presents key findings from research that show how OOH supports digital campaigns.

📈 OOH Advertising Drives Online Actions!

Research conducted by *Nielsen revealed that OOH is one of the most effective offline media for driving online activity. In the studies, 46% of American adults stated that after seeing an outdoor advertisement, they searched for the brand online, and 40% responded to the brand on platforms such as Facebook. This shows that outdoor advertising can trigger immediate online actions—from searches to website visits and social media interactions ​(source: Billboard Insider™ *Chicago Billboards).

Moreover, OOH stands out among other traditional media in generating online activity. Per dollar spent on advertising, OOH proves to be more effective than television, radio, or print. This makes outdoor advertising an excellent tool for supporting digital marketing efforts.

💡 Synergy Between OOH and Search and Social Media

OOH advertising combined with online campaigns can significantly increase their effectiveness. *Comscore indicates that OOH increases search activity 5-6 times more than other offline media. Additionally, OOH ads effectively support social media engagement—38% of people respond to a brand on Facebook after seeing an outdoor ad, and 25% on Instagram​(source: *Comscore, Inc.).

OOH ads also excel in terms of message retention. Studies have shown that up to 85% of recipients engage with ad content at least partially, which translates into higher brand recognition​(source: *Chicago Billboards).

📈 Increased ROI by Combining OOH and Online Campaigns

Combining OOH with digital media campaigns brings significant financial benefits. Research conducted by Rapport and IPG Mediabrands showed that campaigns combining OOH with online ads increase the return on investment (ROI) by 31% for online ads, 56% for social media ads, and up to 80% for search campaigns​(source: *VertImpress). This proves that OOH not only works effectively offline but also significantly enhances the efficiency of digital campaigns.

Out-of-Home advertising (OOH) is a powerful marketing tool that, in synergy with online campaigns, can significantly increase their effectiveness. Research shows that OOH not only strengthens brand recognition but also effectively stimulates online actions such as internet searches and social media interactions. In this way, OOH contributes to increasing consumer engagement at various stages of their purchasing journey. By working with online channels, companies can achieve better results and a higher return on investment (ROI), making OOH an indispensable element of a modern, integrated marketing strategy.

If your company is considering optimizing its marketing strategy, integrating OOH with digital campaigns can bring surprisingly positive effects, enhancing the effectiveness of activities at every stage of consumer interaction.
