Ströer launches DOOH Video product category
Ströer has launched 'Digital Out of Home Video' (DOOH Video), a new product category that consolidates all moving-image capable screens into a single, scalable moving-image channel for public space. The company targets screens with full-motion capability, high visibility and 'wait-and-walk' perception contexts and supports 3D creative formats. Ströer positions DOOH Video alongside its classic OOH and DOOH formats and will market outdoor inventory across three commercial segments. Initial network metrics report about 2.8 billion weekly contacts, roughly 45% weekly reach of the German population aged 14+, and 76% weekly reach among 14–49-year-olds in cities over 100,000 inhabitants. The first advertiser is the Theo Müller group (Müllermilch), using DOOH Video for the national launch of Müller Triple. CEO Udo Müller framed the change as separating OOH, DOOH and DOOH Video into distinct commercial segments and sees the format as a scalable component of the total video mix.
A major European out-of-home company launched a new, explicitly defined DOOH Video product category with claimed large reach and a major FMCG advertiser already onboard — this can expand moving-image inventory and influence media planning between OOH and other video channels.

Ströer and Vudoo Launch Interactive Shoppable Videos in Germany
Ströer, a major German advertising company, and Australian adtech firm Vudoo have announced a joint initiative to establish interactive, commerce-oriented video formats in Germany. The collaboration marks Vudoo’s largest engagement in the German market to date and extends its commerce-media technology across video, display, and Connected TV. The partnership enables an in-stream checkout that lets viewers access product information and begin a purchase within the video player, without leaving the surrounding media environment, turning video spots into transaction-ready ads. The move is framed as a test to assess technical feasibility and privacy compliance under Germany’s regulatory regime, with both companies asserting that innovation and privacy protection can go hand in hand. Ströer emphasizes that the solution will offer advertisers a privacy-friendly, scalable way to drive measurable conversions, while Vudoo cites international recognition, including a Bronze award at the WARC Awards for Effectiveness. The collaboration is seen as strategically important for Vudoo’s expansion into Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

Germany Unveils Largest DOOH Screen at Hamburg Hauptbahnhof
Ströer plans Germany's largest DOOH screen at Hamburg Hauptbahnhof, a transit hub with more than half a million daily visitors. The 38-meter-wide by 9-meter-tall display, named 'The Whale', will be embedded in the Public-Video-Giant-Netzwerk of oversized DOOH surfaces for indoor and outdoor use. The installation will show ten-second moving-image spots, up to 20 repetitions per hour, and will support day-specific creative changes as well as editorial content such as news and weather data. Alexander Stotz, CEO of Ströer Media Deutschland, describes the project as an innovation at the intersection of monument protection, digitization, and high-traffic venues, aiming to make digital outdoor advertising an immersive brand experience. The project extends Ströer's DOOH expansion, following the recent addition of a roughly 100-square-meter LED screen at Cologne's Lanxess Arena to the portfolio, signaling continued digitization of public spaces in Germany.
