DOOH Growing Structurally — Industry Must Modernize

Tobias Hefele of Weischer says Digital Out of Home (DOOH) is in a strong position, with Nielsen reporting 5.6% growth in the first half of the year versus 1.1% for the overall ad market. He warns the sector is at a turning point and must address measurement, standardization and demonstrable ad effectiveness to secure long-term growth. Hefele highlights opportunities from linking DOOH with Retail Media and from AI — especially AI-assisted creative generation and faster, more flexible campaign processes — but stresses the need to modernize infrastructure and create common standards first. He also notes growing formats such as video, audio and content partnerships, and that both new and existing advertiser segments are fueling structural growth.

• Nielsen reported 5.6% growth for Out-of-Home in the first half of the year.
• The overall advertising market grew 1.1% in the same period (per the article).
• Weischer.OOH is growing faster than the broader OOH market, according to Tobias Hefele.

Weischer takes strategic stake in Erason

Mediengruppe Weischer has taken a strategic stake in Lüneburg-based AI market-research firm Erason to combine Weischer's media and mobility data with Erason's AIlon platform, aiming to improve targeting, measurement and reduce advertising waste—particularly in Out-of-Home and cinema. The companies say the integrated approach, including the SYNQ customer-data-hub module, can accelerate operationalization of complex audiences and boost campaign KPIs (claims include 70% faster operationalization, 2–3x higher click rates and 30–50% lower cost per action). The move forms part of Weischer’s broader shift toward an integrated, data-driven media ecosystem. The article names Niklas Mrutzek as Erason co-founder and CEO and Udo Schendel as Weischer managing director, and cites a Decentriq study estimating up to 56% (€24.7bn) of German ad budgets are avoidable waste.

• Mediengruppe Weischer has taken a strategic stake in Lüneburg-based AI and market-research company Erason.

• Companies claim the integrated approach, including the SYNQ customer-data-hub module, can speed operationalization by ~70%, yield 2–3x higher click rates and cut cost per action by 30–50%.
