OOH + PROGRAMMATIC + META

The measurable funnel.

One continuous audience journey — from physical presence to digital conversion.

  1. PHASE 1

    Programmatic discovery

    Geo-fenced OOH sites capture device IDs of every physically-present, catchment-relevant audience. Qualified awareness at scale.

  2. PHASE 2

    Programmatic reinforcement

    OOH-exposed users only are retargeted with frequency-controlled mobile display & video — building familiarity and recall.

  3. PHASE 3

    Meta conversion

    Warmed-up audiences activated on Instagram, Facebook & WhatsApp via Reels, Stories and Click-to-Call — higher intent, better ROI.

Third-party verified end to end by OIS global monitoring — real-time, tamper-proof, 100+ quality metrics across static & DOOH.
