In mid-August, the OMA will launch the results of its $1.3M research project with Neuro-Insight which explores the neuro impact of Digital and Classic signs on audiences. The industry will use the data developed from the research to introduce a new value-based currency to make it easier for advertisers and agencies to understand the value of their OOH campaigns. This will be introduced as part of the upgrade to MOVE in the coming months.

“This is an exciting and important time to join the association as we shift up a gear. It’s great to see more Out of Home players adding their voices and new perspectives into the mix,” concluded Moldrich.
