Short answer
Digital out-of-home (DOOH) is advertising displayed on digital screens in public places, such as transit stations, airports, malls, roadside billboards, and elevators. Unlike static posters, digital screens can rotate multiple ads and update creative remotely, and the inventory is increasingly bought programmatically with targeting by location, time, and audience data.
