OMA Welcomes Scentre Group, Hivestack & Tonic Media Network As Latest Members
Scentre Group, Hivestack and Tonic Media Network are the newest members of the Outdoor Media Association (OMA).
Scentre Group and Tonic Media Network also join as members of the industry’s audience measurement system, MOVE (Measurement of Outdoor Visibility and Exposure.)
Scentre Group owns and operates 42 Westfield Living Centres in the ANZ region which attract 468 million annual customer visits.
Scentre Group’s in-house marketing solutions business, BrandSpace, connects brands and businesses to the Westfield audience through a portfolio of connected digital and physical touchpoints.
The BrandSpace OOH media network is 100% digital, with over 1,800 full motion SuperScreens and SmartScreens across Australia and New Zealand.
Scentre Group, general manager, BrandSpace, Scott Moore said, “Our membership signifies our support for the industry’s commitment to make it easier to plan and buy out-of-home media.”
“The enhancements to MOVE in measuring audiences in retail environments and on digital out-of-home assets will better enable us to help brands, retail partners, marketers and their agencies unlock the power of marketing within the Westfield environment”.
Hivestack is an independent programmatic digital Out of Home (DOOH) adtech company that specialises in the buy and sell-side of programmatic DOOH advertising.
On the buy-side, marketers use Hivestack’s Demand Side Platform (DSP) to create measurable campaigns that activate DOOH screens in real-time based on consumer behaviour and audience movement patterns.
On the sell side, DOOH media owners use Hivestack’s Supply Side Platform (SSP) via PMPs and Open exchange to attract programmatic revenue.
DOOH media owners can also use Hivestack’s Ad Server to power audience-based, directly sold campaigns.
Hivestack managing director ANZ and SEA, Matt Bushby said, “The solutions the OMA is building in areas like digital audience measurement and standardisation will provide the transparency and accuracy needed to take our industry to the next stage.”
“There is a big opportunity for marketers to harness the power of contextual targeting in programmatic DOOH and deliver even more effective campaigns.”
“Innovations like MOVE 2.0 will go a long way in enabling that.”
The Australian health and well-being company Tonic Media Network is also re-joining the OMA and MOVE.
Tonic Media Network’s Digital Out of Home (DOOH) health channel reaches over 16 million Australians in GP waiting rooms and pharmacies each month.
“It’s critical that our customers are confident that they are reaching the right people with the right message at the right time,” said Tonic Media Network CEO and managing director, Richard Silverton.
Silverton continued stating, “It’s the perfect time to join, to be part of shaping this world-first audience measurement system for OOH in Australia.”
OMA Initiatives
In November the OMA revealed a raft of initiatives set to launch on 31 January at its first OUT-FRONT event.
The rollout will include the interim audience measurement update MOVE 1.5 which will measure digital screens and provide a new metric based on neuroscience called the Neuro Impact Factor.
In addition, standardisation guidelines will be introduced that will see the industry unite on common terminology, screen ratios, insertion orders and shift to selling OOH by Share of Time.
“The renaissance of Outdoor is showing no signs of waning, and this is further reinvigorating membership to the industry body,” said OMA CEO, Charmaine Moldrich (main picture).
“We are pleased to say that we now represent close to 100 per cent of the Out of Home industry in Australia.”
These initiatives come as the industry progresses with the development of its next audience measurement upgrade MOVE 2.0.
The new system will measure digital audiences as well as all OOH formats across the nation, including regional signs and be capable of reporting seasonal and monthly audience variations.
The project is now in the national scaling phase and is slated to launch in 2024.
Outdoor companies that have joined the OMA in the last year include AdFlow, AOSCo, CV Media and Signage, Ei Media, Jolt Charge, OIS, Shopper, Think Outdoor, Total Outdoor Media (TOM) and Val Morgan Outdoor (VMO).
