Vistar Media, the leading global provider of technology solutions for out-of-home (OOH) media, today announced a strategic partnership with PRODOOH, the first and largest programmatic OOH media company in Latin America, to bring Vistar’s advertising capabilities to the region. The PRODOOH team of local experts will leverage Vistar’s advanced technology solutions to develop programmatic OOH across Latin America, beginning in Mexico and Brazil, with plans to expand to Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Peru this spring.

Today, advertisers and media owners can benefit from the following Vistar platforms in Mexico and Brazil:

• Demand-side platform (DSP): Vistar’s DSP connects marketers to the largest network of ad space in digital out-of-home (DOOH). Built to power a programmatic DOOH ecosystem when Vistar first launched, today it’s used by marketers to plan campaigns that leverage hyper-contextual storytelling to capture a better kind of attention. With Vistar’s DSP, marketers across Latin America can now easily incorporate OOH into their omnichannel marketing strategies.

• Supply-side platform (SSP): Vistar’s SSP brings automation to physical ad space in order to make DOOH bidding and buying more efficient to marketers at scale. This connects media owners in Latin America to demand around the world through Vistar’s extensive network of buyers across North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. 

“Teaming up with PRODOOH to bring OOH solutions to Latin America is an exciting stepping stone for Vistar in our broader global expansion plans,” said Eugenie Chen, SVP, Strategy & Partnerships at Vistar Media. “Our goal at Vistar is simple – help marketers leverage OOH’s unique ability to motivate and delight, while giving media owners the tools they need to manage their OOH inventory networks efficiently. This partnership aims to do just that, and we couldn’t be more excited to extend our global demand into Latin America, while offering advertising partners around the world more opportunities to reach their audiences in this growing market.”

“We understand there’s a greater need to drive growth of the OOH category across Latin America, and an opportunity to inform buyers and media owners of the immense potential programmatic technology can bring to this channel,” said Roberto L’hopital, CEO & Co-Founder at PRODOOH. “With that, it's become crucial to align ourselves with partners who embody a shared vision for what OOH can do for advertisers, both locally and globally, and how media owners can benefit from opening up their unique inventory to more demand. We bring our partners a deep understanding of the advertising market in Latin America, while Vistar offers us an arsenal of tools and expertise designed to help brands and media owners get the best out of the channel – from campaign strategy to execution to ROI. I can’t think of a better partner than Vistar to embark on this journey with, and look forward to seeing what our two companies accomplish together as we aim to further the adoption of programmatic OOH across Latin America.” 

“For us at JCDecaux, it is important to always be at the forefront of the OOH industry, constantly seeking to generate greater value for our clients. Part of this commitment includes forging new synergies that contribute to and enhance the entire experience of advertising in outdoor media. That is why we are deeply excited to announce the successful integration with Vistar Media through PRODOOH, providing greater flexibility and optimization for advertisers, as well as access to the highest quality digital inventory in the country,” said Fernando Garduño, Head of Programmatic at JCDecaux.

“DOOH is a highly flexible and dynamic medium that allows you to reach your target audience when and where it matters most,” said the Programmatic Lead at Anagram México. “With Vistar’s technology and PRODOOH’s market expertise, we have been able to lean into the very best of the channel, creating and launching highly targeted, impactful campaigns that have driven significant results for Anagram México, across a diverse range of offline, OOH environments in a consistent manner.”

“Vistar and PRODOOH’s partnership has unlocked a whole new world of demand for us, and a seamless, central way to extend our premium inventory across campaigns both locally and around the world,” said Tony Azuri, CEO of Out of Home Digital (formerly known as Screencast). “Not only are we no longer limited to advertisers local to Latin America, but our robust inventory network is now connected to demand from global buyers who value pushing boundaries when it comes to their OOH campaigns – from dynamic capabilities, flexible buying experiences, and advanced targeting and measurement solutions – that ultimately deliver stronger, more impactful campaigns across our screens.” 

Outdoor ad spend in Latin America is expected to increase to $1.59 billion USD in 2024, demonstrating that more advertisers are recognizing the value OOH media can bring to their wider marketing plans. With programmatic DOOH specifically, advertisers can tap into a new world of benefits at ease – from enhanced audience targeting, higher brand exposure, fast campaign activations, increased flexibility, evidence-based measurement and more.
