Reality- Out of home advertising is an effective mode of brand promotion effectively planned, executed and deployed by a dedicated team who works from the conceptualization of the brand message to the presentation of the final ad copy. Random though it seems, an OOH message reaches outs to lacs of customers every day. For years, OOH Advertising practices have been successfully carried out with targeted impact on potential customers as well as decision makers.
Myth- Outdoor Ads are out-fashioned as compared to other advertising modes.
Reality- It is true that out of home advertising is one of the conventional modes of brand promotion. In due course of time, Outdoor Advertising practices have evolved and enhanced through the induction of hi-tech tools and techniques.
