Making OOH advertising accessible benefits all brands
This article discusses the importance of accessibility in Out-of-Home (OOH) advertising, highlighting that inclusive creative can reach wider audiences and improve brand perception. It cites research showing that many Britons notice OOH ads frequently, and that a significant portion take action after seeing them. The author, Jonathan Hassell, emphasizes that ignoring accessibility risks excluding disabled, neurodivergent, and older consumers who have substantial spending power. Key recommendations include using high contrast colors and clear typography, being mindful of photosensitive triggers like certain colors or patterns, and adding closed captions to video ads. The article also showcases examples like Bupa's Paralympic campaign and HSBC's mural project that successfully implemented accessible features. Overall, accessibility is framed not just as a compliance issue but as a creative and business opportunity to broaden reach and strengthen brand loyalty.
