OVAB Drafts Proposal on Measurement

The Out-of-Home Video Advertising Bureau has given the 4As media research committee a draft of proposed measurement guidelines as a step toward making measurement for out-of-home video networks a reality - something media buyers have said is a must if the medium is to reach its full potential.

Suzanne Alecia, new president of OVAB, said during MediaPost’s Digital Out-of-Home Forum that the guidelines, though yet to be formalized, contain three primary factors. To measure audiences for out-of-home video networks that carry both programming and advertising, OVAB believes the following must be taken into account:

  • A network’s “gross venue traffic.”
  • A network’s “presence in the zone.”
  • The ability of ads on a network to be “noticed.”

Earlier this week, OVAB announced it had signed three new members: Arena Media Networks, CBS Outernet and Zoom Media.
