  • Audiences continue to grow as we emerge from lockdown
  • The most recent report from Kinetic’s behavioural planning platform – Journeys, shows a steady increase in OOH audiences.
  • OOH weekly impacts for the last official week of lock down showed a 6% week-on-week increase. Numbers are expected to grow even further, with the current partial ease in restrictions as more and more people return to work and movement of people increases.

@ The Local – Ocean’s Research Panel

With lockdown restricting our movement, we have all been missing and looking forward to going back to normality and with some sight of things returning back to normal now, we asked our panellists which are the things they are most looking forward to post lockdown:

  • 75% said they can’t wait to see friends and family in person
  • For 40% it was travelling and going on holidays
  • 40% also really missing going out to restaurants and cafes
  • 1 in 3 are also eager to go back to shopping in stores (when it comes to clothes and accessories)

These are the categories we expect to see the sharpest increase in the following weeks as lockdown continues to ease across the UK.
