Digital Out of Home: The Vital Ingredient


After a decade of Neuroscience research commissioned by Ocean, to underpin the swiftly evolving and consistently impressive media platform that is digital out of home, this year we have quantified a significant step change for the medium and where, yet again, it has essential value for brands.

This latest wave of research uses Neuroscience to quantify the vital role of digital out of home in optimising the use of social media. Using socially amplified digital out of home changes how your brand is perceived, and the value of its role in the media landscape.
