Route, the audience research body for OOH advertising in Great Britain, has launched an evolved measurement system which offers spot level audience measurement at 15-minute levels for ads played out on each and any poster or screen. This development will mean more scope for advertisers to plan effective and efficient campaigns and ensures the measurement system is fit for purpose within an increasingly digital world.
As the industry moves towards automation and programmatic buying, Route’s new measurement system is at the forefront, and a real step forwards for digital OOH. The system improves the capability to deliver granular data and greater precision for audience-based planning and trading. The developments will ultimately drive effectiveness and efficiency as OOH continues evolving and optimising towards an increasingly digital future.
