The DPAA possesses a wide and deep level of expertise in targeting, measurement and data analytics. The community also includes numerous brand advertisers we now have the opportunity to directly engage. For these and our existing clients, our membership in DPAA will allow us to deliver even more effective OOH campaigns.”

Talon joins DPAA as the agency continues to lead the push for automation in the global OOH market with tools and solutions that enable buying at scale and smarter planning solutions using the most intelligent, relevant and current location data available. By measuring outcomes and utilizing better audience-targeting capabilities, Talon is driving transaction efficiencies, managing costs and spurring transformation within the digital OOH industry. The agency intends to leverage its membership in DPAA to continue this effort.
