The Out of Home Advertising Association of America (OAAA) has partnered with financial advisory firm Solomon Partners to release findings from the Solomon Partners’ 2023 U.S. Major Media Advertising Effectiveness Analysis.
The analysis, which represents an aggregation of publicly available studies on advertising recall from 2017 to 2022, shows that out of home advertisements produce significantly higher ad recall with consumers versus live and streaming television, podcasts and radio, print, and online executions. This holds true across printed and digital OOH formats.
Confirming the importance of OOH in the media mix, Solomon Partners’ analysis parallels recent findings from OAAA-Harris Poll research showing that almost half (49%) of adult consumers are noticing OOH ads more than one year ago as Americans return to normal lifestyles post-pandemic.
“This analysis affirms out of home’s critical role in the media mix,” said Anna Bager, president and CEO, OAAA. “As the fastest growing media channel in 2022, this analysis from Solomon Partners is yet another proof point of the value that out of home brings to marketers at a time when people are fully re-engaging in their pre-pandemic lifestyles. Ad spend forecasts for 2023 reveal out of home will continue to outpace total media growth overall.”
“These benchmarking numbers demonstrate OOH’s ability to engage consumers in a manner that typically outperforms competing media, and marketers should consider that effectiveness in their media plans,” said Mark Boidman, partner and head of the media & entertainment investment banking group, Solomon Partners. “Generating higher levels of ad effectiveness is just one of the reasons OOH is generating greater growth than the overall ad market. The medium’s digital flexibility and impressive increases in programmatic spending are driving the growth because OOH is delivering on the needs of today’s brands.”
