Management at British media owner Ocean Outdoor are giving a vote of confidence to the digital out-of-home sector by agreeing a buyout of the company from its early-stage investors.
Their decision also appears to mean that Ocean will remain independent for the foreseeable future and not see its out-of-home estate swallowed by one of the bigger players.
That estate includes about 15 giant digital screens in landmark locations around Britain as well as non-digital backlit and banner properties, again in prominent positions.

VeriFone’s Digital Network (VNET) in London’s black cabs is to show Sky News to passengers in an effort to focus attention on its in-taxi screens.
The news content runs on a 14-minute loop to match the average duration of a London cab journey, mixed with advertising. Updated six to eight times daily, it is available as soon as the meter is activated, and controllable by passengers via a remote.
“Advertising on VNET between Sky programming is a compelling and cost-effective way to extend video brand campaigns,” said VeriFone’s vice chairman Bud Waller. “We create a powerful platform for marketers seeking innovative, dynamic campaigns that resonate with an increasingly on-the-go urban consumer. Targeted promotions and information can reach affluent business professionals and consumers inside the London black cab when they are at their most receptive and least distracted.”

Ayuda Media Systems, producer of the Splash open source digital signage software, has added to its platform a new tool designed to meet the needs of digital out-of-home sales forces.
Said Andreas Soupliotis, Ayuda’s CEO: “Having provided a comprehensive set of tools for both traditional and digital networks for years, we know just how much more complex digital avails can be. [But] we have solved the most difficult problem for digital networks: how to check avails quickly, meaningfully, and then allow the sales force to use those results to do their jobs efficiently and easily.”
The new browser-based application, Juice, includes a customer relationship management (CRM) application module with features including lead and contact management.

The increasingly strong connections between the digital out-of-home and mobile worlds are highlighted this week in the acquisition of Adcentricity, the operator of a DOOH planning and buying platform, by Bee Media, a mobile shopping specialist.
Bee says it is building a network of Wi-Fi hot spots at retail locations across Canada, the U.S. and Europe that will allow it to deliver hyper-local content to consumers.
The Adcentricity takeover will enable the combined companies to offer a single planning and buying platform for both mobile and DOOH, enhanced by tools such as Adcentricity’s recently-launched Consumer Sync, which allows advertising campaigns to precisely target desired demographic groups by drawing on Nielsen and Environics Analytics data for U.S. and Canadian markets.
