Salary benchmarks
Our take
OOH (Out of Home) advertisement is one of the oldest yet most effective forms of brand marketing, and the industry is still experiencing innovation due to data-driven approaches and digital signage. However, securing OOH advertisement real estate can be tough, requiring businesses to source deals and communicate with commercial landlords & local authorities.
Clear Channel partners with commercial landlords, infrastructure providers, and local authorities to offer seamless advertisement experiences to its clients. The company focuses on offering digital billboards and posters, providing five different models depending on the campaign scale.
Whilst Clear Channel will face stiff competition from other UK-based OOH media owners, the company has been smart to form partnerships with commercial landlords and other relevant parties, acting as a middleman. The company also shows promise to increase access to OOH advertisements with its varied pricing options, overall making it easier for brands of any scale to reach offline audiences.
