"DOOH marries high-impact creative with cost efficiency across an omnichannel campaign strategy," said Iván Markman, Chief Business Officer at Yahoo. "Early to the space, Yahoo has helped advertisers maximize DOOH screens throughout the consumer journey and foster meaningful and memorable connections. This partnership amplifies that ability and provides Yahoo DSP advertisers with the diverse, global and premium OOH inventory Hivestack affords."
"The out-of-home sector has seen a resurgence in the last year, fueled by innovative creative execution, digital facilitation and a return to 'normal', With summer on the horizon for the northern hemisphere, expect to see the world's biggest brands shine across OOH screens - from the tallest billboards to the checkout aisles.
