Jung von Matt Sports launches DOOH campaign for WTA event
Jung von Matt Sports created a marketing campaign for the MSC Hamburg Ladies Open, a WTA 250 tournament at the Rothenbaum, to increase public interest in women's tennis and attract new fans. Organiser MatchMaker Sports and Jung von Matt Sports are running visuals focused on bold headlines and simplified design across digital out-of-home (DOOH) sites and social media, with placements at high-traffic locations such as the Barclays Arena and Hamburg airport. The tournament, held under the MSC Hamburg Ladies Open name since 2025, features announced players including Maja Chwalinska, Panna Udvardy, Tamara Korpatsch, Tatjana Maria and Noma Noha Akugue. The campaign also aims to address visibility gaps in public perception of women’s sport despite progress on equal pay.
Localised agency campaign for a regional WTA-250 event; relevant to DOOH, sports marketing and awareness of women's sport but not industry-shifting or technology-critical.

DOOH Opportunities in Women’s Sports
The article (and accompanying The Big Story podcast episode) discusses rising viewership in women’s sports and growing interest from publishers, advertisers and tech vendors to capitalize on that momentum via channels like digital out-of-home (DOOH). It highlights the Women’s Sports Index — created by sports agency Deep Blue and data analytics platform Mondo Metrics — as a tool for brands to track engagement and purchase intent. Examples cited include Sweetgreen running ads via Atmosphere TV during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Blacksheep using digital billboards to criticize Google, and HelloFresh running AI-driven creative on Times Square digital billboards. The piece frames women’s sports fans as community-driven and different from men’s sports fans.
Wolt launches humorous crossmedia World Cup campaign
Wolt is running a cross-media brand campaign tied to the FIFA World Cup 2026, using Connected TV (CTV), Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH), audio, social media, promotions, direct mailings and merchandise. The campaign, published 15 June 2026 and developed with Berlin agency Motor Kommunikation, emphasises humour, fan rituals and shared viewing over football clichés. A central CTV spot is an adaptation of a global Door Dash campaign and features influencer Khabane “Khaby” Lame and former Brazilian footballer Kaká. DOOH creatives will evolve during the tournament to reflect live match moments and results. Audio spots feature commentator Robert “Robby” Hunke. Wolt is presented as an official supporter of the tournament.
Stiegl runs real-time DOOH campaign for World Cup fans
Stiegl, together with media agency Media1 and Azerion Austria, ran a dynamic Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) campaign around the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Between 15 and 28 June the campaign displayed countdowns, live scores and final results in real time across 47 screens in Vienna and Salzburg, claiming roughly 11 million contacts. Creative assets were implemented as HTML5 and automated with Dynamic Creative Optimization (DCO) so live triggers updated content without manual intervention. Locations included ÖBB Werbung screens for commuters and SES Spar European Shopping Centers (e.g., Europark and Forum 1) in shopping malls. Azerion Austria stated its network exceeds 5,300 digital screens and claims a 64.3% reach of Austrians aged 14–75. The case demonstrates the feasibility of synchronizing content and advertising on DOOH inventory at scale and echoes earlier examples such as Deutsche Telekom’s Tor-Alarm with Ströer.
