Publicis’ Rishad Tobaccowala to Present at OOH Media Conference

Tobaccowala Will Reveal Ad Community’s Perception of OOH Based on Interviews, Surveys

Washington, DC (April 1, 2019) – Rishad Tobaccowala, chief growth officer of the Publicis Groupe, will address attendees of this year’s OAAA\Geopath OOH Media Conference + Expo, to be held at the Aria Las Vegas May 20-22, 2019. Tobaccowala will reveal insights from advertisers and agencies about the current perception of out of home advertising (OOH).

The annual OOH Media Conference + Expo is the largest education and networking event for professionals and suppliers in the OOH industry.

Tobaccowala will disclose results of a comprehensive fact-finding mission to uncover industry beliefs and attitudes about today’s OOH media landscape. The research, based on hundreds of interviews with dozens of brands and agencies, identifies media trends happening among large OOH advertisers, and large advertisers with little or no OOH spend.

“Increasingly OOH is the medium of the future because it connects the power of screens and large creative canvases with the targetability of local and mobile in a form factor that cannot be skipped,” said Tobaccowala. “The research reveals both this great potential and the steps the industry must take to become easier, more accessible, and increase its measurement.”

OAAA President & CEO Nancy Fletcher said, “It’s no secret, OOH ad spend among national brands is critical to ensure continued industry growth. Insights into interviews with the ad community will provide a solid understanding of how OOH is viewed today and direction for the future to ensure clients are impressed and consumers are engaged.”
