by DOmedia on April 30, 2014 in Press with No comments

COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 30th, 2014 – DOmedia, the preeminent media buying and selling platform in the advertising industry, has received approval from the Traffic Audit Bureau (TAB), the leading source of out-of-home (OOH) media measurement systems in America, to use and display TAB Out-of-Home Ratings for over 350,000 media assets in the United States.

With the integration of the TAB data into DOmedia’s platform, agency users can now plan and buy OOH media more strategically and efficiently. The integration facilitates the standard use of ratings and provides agencies, which are full members of TAB, access to audience, reach and frequency measurements. DOmedia has continually enhanced its planning and buying applications to meet the call of the industry to innovate and improve business processes benefitting agencies as well as media selling companies.

Norm Chait, Senior Vice President at MediaVest USA adds “The adoption of technology and systems like this allow us to harness the power of the new TAB ratings by putting it on the desktop of our buyers, helping us to buy smarter, be more accountable and speak the same language as other media.”

“Since DOmedia’s launch in 2008, the team’s vision has been to make planning, buying and selling OOH media faster, smarter and better,” according to DOmedia’s President, Ken Sahlin. He adds, “The integration of TAB Out-of-Home Ratings in our applications help planners and buyers more easily assess the strategic capabilities of OOH to other measured media.”

According to Jack Sullivan, Senior Vice President, Director at Starcom USA, “With TAB granting a third-party data license to DOmedia, Starcom can more effectively and efficiently leverage out-of-home reach and frequency measures into our cross-media planning and buying processes that create positive impact for clients’ bottom lines.”

What Four Years Has Taught Us: The OOH Industry Doesn’t Need an Expert Tool

by DOmedia on October 17, 2012 in DOmedia, Out-of-home advertising, Press with No comments

When we introduced DOmedia at the OAAA Star Showcase in the fall of 2008, we thought we had a brilliant idea. Thanks to industry feedback, our technology and business model have evolved from an expert tool to a tool for experts! Together we have grown over 300% and we are still the world’s largest OOH media marketplace. Thank you for all the support and feedback that helped us reach this point. DOmedia remains committed to adding value and growing the OOH market by providing incremental business opportunities and working towards an industry-supported path to standardization.

700+ media sellers have posted their assets in the DOmedia marketplace. On the other side of the marketplace, 1,000+ media buyers have used the DOmedia platform to execute 20,000+ plans and searches in the past 12 months. OOH needs tools that integrate with industry relevant data sets. The most efficient way for those integrations to be used by buyers and sellers to create value is to have them hosted on a centralized data resource. A centralized resource will provide seamless end-to-end workflow that will help the industry leap forward and gain a greater percentage of the overall advertising spend. Our strategic partnerships with Telmar, NEC, and our participation in industry associations (OAAA, TAB, DPAA, IAB) reaffirm our belief in system integrations. Feedback from those two groups and DOmedia users informs our internal tech development processes and ensures we are building an industry-vetted solution.

Your feedback has challenged us to address how our technology meets industry needs:

Improved search, discovery and planning – Our dynamic search tool is self-directed and can be used at any stage of the RFP process. Media sellers can be found by format, audience measurement type and demographics. Search results can be further filtered by geographic parameters and displayed with data visualization tools.
Standardization of the RFP process – We have taken the incremental steps towards standardizing buyer RFP templates and media proposals. Standardized templates allow OOH to be planned and bought on a larger scale similar to other media, which saves significant time for the buyer and seller by removing RFP redundancies.
Telmar Integration ‘€“ For the first time, Telmar’s TOPS plans with TAB OOH Ratings data will be able to be converted into an RFP with a single click. The most trusted OOH media measurement is now seamlessly incorporated into the most widely used RFP tool.

With your continued participation in our development efforts, we will increase demand by providing a more compelling value proposition of OOH media’s capabilities. We will keep improving RFP workflow and simplifying the access to data that better informs buyers, planners, and ultimately the brand client. From the use of our technology we are producing meaningful reports that benefit all industry participants.

We welcome and encourage you to share your thoughts on furthering the evolution of DOmedia’s vision for OOH. Let us know if there is anything else we can do to add value for you and your company. You are the industry experts and we are here to help you grow!

MediaPost Digital Outsider

A number of companies are using technology to make media buying and planning easier through online interfaces and increased automation in areas like verification and invoicing. This week Telmar Group, which provides advertising media information software and services, revealed that it has formed an alliance with DOmedia, which operates an out-of-home advertising marketplace, with the goal of enabling Telmar agency clients to execute media buys using DOmedia’s agency software. At the same time, DOmedia agency clients will gain access to Telmar’s planning analytics for out-of-home campaigns.

Through the new partnership, all plans and RFPs generated through the connection can be completed through the new platform, or via third-party services including authorized buying exchanges, ad servers and financial systems. All functions are compatible with Telmar’s ‘€œMediaVision’€ platform, and indeed, out-of-home is just the first in a series of media the partners will offer. Telmar and DOmedia plan to introduced a similarly streamlined planning and buying process for other media in the not-too-distant future.
