Food & Grocery
From popcorn to peanut butter, chocolate to crackers, fruit pops to deli meats, the world of food-based CPG ranges far and wide. So how can your brand stand out in today's increasingly complex landscape?

Beverages
55% of consumers plan their beverage purchases within a few hours of buying them, and nearly 90% make these decisions within just a few days — a much quicker grab-and-go experience than grocery purchases.

Over-The-Counter
In the battle over market share, DOOH enables OTC brands to reach audiences on the path-to-purchase and at the point-of-purchase, during critical moments when consumers are in the midst of decision making.

Personal Care
When you’re at the store looking for a new body wash, are you more likely to think about the product you saw advertised online last week, or the product you just noticed on a digital screen inside the store itself?
See why & how Jägermeister tapped programmatic DOOH to promote its Cold Brew product, ultimately driving a 66% increase in purchase intent.
