OVAB proposes measurement guidelines

April 25, 2008 by Dave Haynes

The Out-of-Home Video Advertising Bureau has told the American Association of Advertising Agencies media research committee there are three key factors in measuring digital screen networks:

Suzanne Alecia, the new president of OVAB, introduced these guidelines during that MediaPost Digital Out-of-Home Forum earlier this week. Scouring around on the OVAB website, and reading through news stories, I couldn’t find anything to elaborate on the squishy stuff.

Alecia did tell the forum the guidelines have not yet been published, and conceded they were not perfect but a “reasonable compromise” for a nascent industry.

Anyone know anything more?

  3. Hey Dave,

    Is Lionel really telling you to go read Nurlan’s post on your company’s blog? That’s funny – I assume it is already part of your required reading 🙂

  4. Yes, In hindsight it is rather funny! I forgot that Dave works for BroadSign. It’s hard to keep track of it all. Sorry Dave.

  5. Just saw this in Mediaweek….

    OVAB’s guidelines address several issues that have made the out-of-home segment difficult to plan and buy, including common audience metrics to evaluate the volume and size of OOH video networks compared with other media. OVAB hopes to publish and distribute the final document in June.
