Goop Kitchen Launches in New York with 'Made for New York' Campaign
Goop Kitchen, Gwyneth Paltrow’s delivery-first food brand, is launching in New York City with a campaign called "Made for New York." The delivery-only concept — which operates via ghost kitchens and emphasizes clean, additive-free meals — debuts in Midtown West and plans expansion to East Williamsburg, the Upper East Side and Flatiron. The campaign, which began rolling out April 17 with out-of-home posters and will continue with short-form video and social content, features real New Yorkers from dance, fashion, sports and culture, including Gwyneth Paltrow and figures such as Jonquel Q. Jones and Jovani Furlan. Jena Wolfe, vice president of marketing, said the work is a “love letter” to the city and aims to position Goop Kitchen as native to New York delivery culture.
Brand expansion and localized campaign using OOH and social are relevant to marketers and agency activity but are not industry‑shifting.

OAAA Launches Programmatic Center of Excellence for DOOH
AI is pushing advertising back into physical spaces due to declining trust in online content, the rise of AI answer engines that bypass websites, and the growth of agentic AI. Out-of-home (OOH) and digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising are gaining renewed relevance, with US OOH revenue up 10.7% YoY to $3.16B in Q2 and DOOH up 18.5%, representing nearly 40% of category revenue. To guide this evolution, the OAAA has launched a Programmatic & Automation Center of Excellence led by COO Patrick Dolan, focusing on standardization, workflow automation, agentic AI, reporting/attribution, and omnichannel/retail media integration. The initiative aims to automate both programmatic and static OOH processes, addressing friction points. However, this trend raises concerns about consumer opt-out options and the over-commercialization of public spaces, as noted by Ezra Klein.
