The Drum previews the upcoming OAAA Obie Awards with insights from host David 'Shingy' Shing, OAAA CEO Anna Bager, and creative leader Susan Credle.

The experts emphasize that OOH's power lies in creating physical, shareable experiences that generate meaning beyond simple measurement.

Reactive OOH Shouldn't End With Final Whistle

Luke Willbourn (Talon MD) argues that out-of-home advertising (OOH), especially digital OOH (DOOH), should remain culturally reactive beyond major sporting events. The piece notes that brands like Virgin Atlantic, McDonald’s, Bumble, Sainsbury’s, the National Lottery, Specsavers and Lidl used timely OOH creative during the World Cup and other cultural moments to stay relevant. DOOH's capabilities — dynamic creative, flexible buying and smarter data signals — increase responsiveness and effectiveness, with cited research claims of higher brain response and better performance for dynamic campaigns. The author urges marketers to treat cultural relevance as continuous rather than seasonal, balancing speed with authenticity to extend OOH’s impact.
