Moody Mattan • September 27, 2023

With technology evolving at lightning speed, the face of advertising is changing. Among the frontiers leading this transformation, Augmented Reality (AR) in Out-of-Home (OOH) advertising stands tall, crafting experiences that are not just viewed but lived.


Introduction to AR in OOH Advertising


Every day, we come across numerous OOH advertisements, from billboards to bus stands to hand painted murals. Now, imagine them springing to life, interacting with you, and creating a multi-dimensional experience. This is the magic of AR. The fusion of the real world and the digital, AR brings dreams to life.

The Rise of AR in Marketing


Digital marketing is about engagement, about holding the viewer's attention. And AR? It’s like the Midas touch, turning every ad it graces into pure gold. AR experiences in marketing aren't just gimmicks; they’re strategies that have revolutionized the way brands connect and engage with their audiences.


Why AR Transforms OOH Ads


OOH advertisements have always had the challenge of being static. But with AR technology, these ads morph into interactive sessions. Here, the user isn’t just a spectator; they're a participant. This interactivity creates an immersive experience, ensuring the marketing campaign isn't just seen—it's remembered.

Key Features of Memorable AR Ads


What makes an AR ad unforgettable? Here's the secret sauce:


Interactive Engagement


Engaging is good; interactive is better. AR campaigns lure users to virtually dive into the ad and start playing with it like a video game. 


QR Codes: The Gateway to AR


Remember the last time you scanned a QR code? It's probably to access an AR experience. Simple yet genius, QR codes bridge the gap between the physical ad and its augmented reality counterpart.


Real-World Integration


The beauty of AR technology is its ability to blend digital wonders with the real world. Your favorite drink dancing on a digital billboard? AR makes it possible.

Pioneering AR Campaigns in OOH Ads


Some ads just stick, right? Let's look at how they made that happen.


The Blend of Digital Billboards & AR


Digital billboards have always been attention-grabbing. Add AR to the mix, and you've got a spectacle. These displays harness the power of augmented reality, transforming static visuals into dynamic masterpieces.


Social Media's Role in Amplifying AR Ads


It starts with a cool AR OOH ad, but it doesn't stop there. Users share, tweet, and post their interactions, making social media a potent ally for AR advertisers.

How AR Drives Increased Brand Awareness


Beyond the razzmatazz, AR has a concrete impact on brand metrics.


Immersive Experiences & Brand Recall



An average ad is forgotten, but an AR experience? It lingers, ensuring that brands are not just seen but remembered.


The Novelty Factor in AR Ads


Humans love novelty. And AR? It’s the poster child for it. This ensures that AR campaigns always enjoy the limelight, giving brands the visibility they crave.
