Why digital out-of-home advertising?

Digital out-of-home (DOOH) is a local mass medium positioned right where people and traffic flows meet. And it works: dynamically, digitally, and data-drivenly.

Find out why!

5 reasons to choose Outshine's digital surfaces:

1. Reach your target audience broadly in the BIG 5 growth centers

Out-of-home advertising reaches 99% of Finns weekly. Our digital network stretches from Helsinki to Ivalo, ensuring your message is seen – in the pulse of urban city environments and traffic flows. We are particularly strong in the BIG 5 growth centers: Helsinki, Espoo, Tampere, Vantaa, and Oulu.

2. Take over blocks on a large scale or target precisely

Digital out-of-home advertising allows for campaign targeting by city, region, proximity to a selected store, or even by time of day. Visibility can be built exactly where masses and purchase intents are strongest.

3. You are unmissable

DOOH advertising does not compete in a feed. It cannot be ad-blocked, scrolled past, or skipped. Digital out-of-home is encountered while on the move and in situations where it doesn't interrupt other content. High-quality outdoor advertising is a natural part of the urban environment. On digital surfaces, you can also influence and take a stand. Outdoors on digital screens, you can spark conversation in a way that is more restricted on other digital platforms.

4. Build your brand and boost your entire media mix

Out-of-home advertising increases the perceived size of a brand and strengthens the impact of the entire media mix. When large digital surfaces and repetition build a strong memory trace, people recognize the brand more easily and react more readily in other channels as well. DOOH acts in the media mix as a medium that enhances the impact of digital advertising, social media, and other channels.

5. React and be seen in real-time

Digital out-of-home advertising allows for content to be changed in real-time. The message can live according to the weather, time of day, or ongoing events. This makes digital out-of-home an always relevant, flexible, and cost-effective channel.

Purchasing power that reacts

Out-of-home advertising reaches an audience with higher-than-average purchasing power. In the major cities of the Helsinki metropolitan area, Turku, Tampere, and Oulu, as well as along roadsides, those exposed to outdoor advertising tend to have higher incomes. With Outshine’s network, you reach exactly this audience.

At the same time, digital out-of-home doesn’t just get seen – it activates action. Roadside DOOH increases activity more than average and also drives people toward mobile interaction.

Out-of-home is one of the most effective media for brand building

According to studies, it increases brand consideration by up to 72% and grows brand image 27% more likely than many other traditional media.

Furthermore, outdoor advertising directly affects purchasing behavior: up to 69% of consumers report having visited a store based on an outdoor ad seen while traveling, and two out of three say outdoor advertising influenced their purchase decision.

Outdoor advertising can also increase short-term sales by up to 47%.
