Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) Market: 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.
Demonstrates practical use of first-party live service data, programmatic DOOH and DCO to deliver context-aware, location-triggered creative — a useful case for DOOH adoption but not industry-shifting.
