Trigger-Based DOOH

Digital out-of-home ads that change automatically based on real-time conditions such as weather, time, traffic or live scores.

Short answer

Trigger-based DOOH is digital out-of-home advertising that changes automatically based on real-time conditions such as weather, time of day, traffic, or live sports scores. By linking creative to data feeds, advertisers can show more relevant messages, for example promoting cold drinks when temperatures rise, without manually updating screens.
