<h2>Why DOOH is a cost-effective channel to build awareness in sports</h2>
Digital out-of-home (DOOH) is set to make up 31.4% of total out-of-home advertising spending this year (<a href="https://www.emarketer.com/content/digital-out-of-home-ad-spend-share-returns-pre-pandemic-rate">eMarketer</a>). For marketers seeking the most spend-efficient channels to build awareness of their brand, DOOH advertising is becoming a mainstay in today’s digital marketing mix. 
Digital out-of-home placements tend to be located in high footfall areas such as shopping malls, highstreets, transport hubs and around sports stadiums, making them the perfect channel for targeting sports fans at scale.  
Digital out-of-home almost guarantees eyeballs. Geo-targeted placements reach sports audiences within a specific region with ads they cannot miss. Unlike other top-of-funnel awareness channels like linear TV, DOOH gives brands total flexibility to optimize and adjust spend pacing and audience targeting mid-flight. 
<h3>How does it work?</h3>
When it comes to buying media space, DOOH inventory is bought and sold programmatically. For advertisers, the ability to make mid-campaign adjustments and alter budget and pacing strategy based on location and timing is an added benefit.  
Perhaps most uniquely when it comes to out-of-home media, DOOH enables advertisers to leverage first-party and third-party audience datasets to set up and refine campaigns. 
While DOOH is a one-to-many channel, first-party and third-party data can be used for geo-targeting, ensuring that a higher proportion of audiences that see your ads are relevant. This data allows advertisers to track web visits from known users after exposure to a DOOH ad.
