Urban Sports Club B2B Campaign Mixes DOOH, Native, Display

Urban Sports Club, a corporate fitness platform, aimed to boost brand awareness among business decision-makers in Cologne, Germany. Partnering with StackAdapt, they executed a programmatic campaign combining Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH), native, and display advertising. The strategy targeted executives commuting through office districts, using DOOH screens within a 100-meter radius of selected companies' offices during peak hours. Device IDs from DOOH impressions were then used for retargeting via native and display. The campaign achieved 9.83 million impressions (4.98 million from DOOH, 4.85 million from native/display), a 50% increase in website traffic, a 50% rise in keyword searches, and a 50% higher click-through volume. The average DOOH CPM was 15.99 euros. Measurement was supported by ABM Lead Forensics, allowing real-time tracking of target company engagement. Urban Sports Club and StackAdapt plan to replicate this approach in other German cities and potentially other countries.

• Urban Sports Club and StackAdapt launched a combined DOOH, native, and display campaign targeting B2B decision-makers in Cologne.
• Campaign generated 9.83 million total impressions: 4.98 million from DOOH and 4.85 million from native/display.
• DOOH ads were placed on 225 screens within 100 meters of target companies' offices, running weekdays from 7-11 AM and 5-8 PM.

Berlin Pools Display Live Occupancy on Programmatic DOOH

Berliner Bäder-Betriebe (BBB) launched a programmatic digital out-of-home (pDOOH) campaign in Berlin that shows the three nearest summer pools and their real-time occupancy on 82 digital screens across the city. The campaign was implemented jointly with the creative agency glow and outdoor advertising specialist WallDecaux. It uses location data, live occupancy figures from the BBB, weather triggers and Dynamic Creative Optimization (DCO) to drive programmatic, context-aware ad delivery. The occupancy indicator was previously available only on the BBB website and is now exposed in public spaces to help residents find available pool capacity and ticket information.

Retail Media and DOOH: Potential, Few Plan Jointly

Andreas Knorr, Director Marketing at WallDecaux, argues that while the technical and data prerequisites to integrate Digital Out‑of‑Home (DOOH) and Retail Media are now in place, strategic, organisational and measurement gaps keep the channels planned and bought separately. He calls for common planning standards, unified booking/workflow platforms, shared budget logic and combined measurement frameworks that connect brand KPIs with sales uplift. Knorr stresses the barriers are largely organisational — not technological — citing fragmentation across planning and booking systems, ad servers and budget silos that force manual campaign orchestration. He points to UK examples where Tesco and JCDecaux link DOOH deliveries to transaction data to generate robust effectiveness evidence and urges advertiser‑led joint pilots and cross‑industry measurement architectures to scale integration into standard media planning practice.

• Andreas Knorr is Director Marketing at WallDecaux and authored the commentary calling for DOOH and Retail Media integration.
• DOOH and Retail Media are often planned and booked separately, which reduces overall campaign effectiveness.
• Main barriers are strategic, organisational and measurement gaps—not technology—exacerbated by fragmented planning/booking systems, ad servers and budget silos.
