No one is more on fire than?HexClad Cookware?when it comes to breakout DTC brands. We're thrilled to be helping HexClad with their breakout OOH campaign. When?Cameron Bush?wanted to drive online and in-store sales with a performance-based channel with measurable results, he turned to OneScreen. Our media planning team used hundreds of retail data points, demographic info, and dozens of other data sources to identify key zip codes and driving routes where HexClad's target audience lives, works and plays. We built a custom three-market plan that included a mix of iconic static and digital bulletins, wrapped trains, and EV charging stations for captive audiences throughout their daily routines. Their creative stands out in these real-world ads, highlighting the quality of their cookware and their value proposition. Congrats to Cam and the team for adding OOH to their overall marketing mix, combining beautiful creative work with data-driven, strategic placement to get in front of their key audience. This holiday sales season, HexClad is on fire in the kitchen and in the real world.

With marketers planning for 2025, where does Out-of-Home (OOH) advertising fit into the mix? Our Co-founder and Chief Customer Officer,?Greg Wise,?shared his predictions for OOH next year. Below is Part 1: 1. The Creative Renaissance Is Here The pendulum is swinging back. After years of direct-response ads dominating, brands are rediscovering the magic of creativity. OOH is becoming the canvas for bold, memorable campaigns that build brand love—not just sales funnels. Expect a wave of storytelling, clever copy, and artistic visuals designed to stick with you long after you’ve walked (or driven) by. 2. Trustworthy Measurement Will Matter It’s no secret that MAID attribution tools have made measuring OOH easier, but the industry is still grappling with which data to trust. In 2025, the industry will double down on which data matters and how it’s used. It’s not just about tracking exposures but building frameworks that brands can trust. For example, is that MAID data coming from a reliable source? Does it account for all variables, like overlapping campaigns or exposure frequency? And most importantly, does it actually help you make smarter business decisions? The next year will see a push toward standardizing these metrics, so marketers don’t just measure for measurement’s sake—they measure to move the needle. 3. Targeted Hyper-Local Campaigns Will Win The days of “spray and pray” are over. Brands are digging deep into localized, culturally relevant messaging that resonates with specific communities. In 2025, OOH campaigns will go beyond location to tap into highly granular audience and movement data for pinpoint accuracy. We’re talking about using GPS-derived heatmaps, anonymized MAID data, and real-time mobile location insights to identify where people are, who they are, how they move throughout the day, and what their routines reveal. 4. New Tools Will Revolutionize Speed and Efficiency OOH is shedding its reputation for long lead times. With new tools (many already in the pipeline), faster activations across all formats—static, digital, or experiential—will become the norm. The industry knows that speed isn’t just a nice to have; it’s critical to keeping up with today’s fast-moving campaigns. In 2025, OOH will prove it can move as quickly as other channels. 5. OOH + Digital Marketing = A Perfect Fusion More brands will see OOH not as a standalone channel but as the connective tissue for omnichannel strategies. In 2025, OOH will work hand-in-hand with social, search, and display campaigns to deliver cohesive, multi-touch storytelling. The lines between “offline” and “online” are officially blurring, and OOH is the bridge. What did Greg leave out? We'll share his Part 2 tomorrow.

Two years ago I was a college dropout making $500/mo living with my parents in Istanbul, Turkey. Today, the startup I co-founded with my best friend?Bu?ra Gündüz?put up billboards all over San Francisco. I’m excited to share that October was HockeyStack’s best month ever! Getting close to our first $XXM quarter, and we added 15 people to the team. I’m extremely proud of everyone on our team - there is an insane push on new product development, pipeline, and revenue. We are very close to a breakthrough in our space. And I thought seeing HockeyStack everywhere in SF would be the perfect way to celebrate the year. Here’s how it happened: I made a post about a sticker on our office building that led to many people talking about it. The post went semi-viral on LinkedIn, and I got a DM from?Charlie Riley?about doing the same thing at scale using billboards. It was the first time I’ve heard about?OneScreen. I did a ton of research online, talked to their team and customers, and we went live. It moved quickly! But this is not just another marketing campaign... It’s a testament to how far we have come. Ever since I left my family and friends behind and moved to SF for YC, it’s been my dream to plant our flag in the city where most of the companies I look up to were born. (OpenAI, Rippling, Airbnb, and pretty much all other YC unicorns) Billboards are now live on both sides of 101 highway, 3rd street, South SF, all bus stations, and more. (Send me pics if you see them!) I’ll share the results, and how I am tracking them soon!
