Broadsign, the leading digital out-of-home marketing platform, and cross-border dynamic outdoor advertising platform TPS Engage have announced the integration of the Broadsign Reach supply-side-platform (SSP) and the TPS Engage demand-side platform (DSP).

Bogdan Savonea, CEO, TPS Engage told us “Programmatic is the future of digital-out-of-home, and we’re rapidly evolving our platform to not only bring more dynamic inventory to media buyers, but also to give publishers a way to attract new buyers.

Our mission is to continue making DOOH more accessible to buyers looking to take advantage of all it has to offer while helping publishers better tap into this growing pool of buyers.

It is with great sadness that we write about the passing of Paula Oliver, Managing Director of Wildstone Consulting who left us on December 21, 2019 after a short illness.

Paula was a true DOOH pioneer, blazing the trail for airport screen advertising networks from the early 2000s onwards. Our industry really has lost one of its early founders.

Prior to joining Wildstone in 2014, she was for many years a JCDecaux Airport Board Director, defining and developing the UK airport advertising product across Heathrow and many other airports in the UK and Worldwide. After three years as Managing Director for Airport Partners, Paula formed her own very successful advertising consultancy Skybrands, which was subsequently acquired by Wildstone.

Paula was highly regarded by everyone she worked with. My personal memory was what fun she was to be around, she was kind, thoughtful, creative and energetic. She will be greatly missed by her clients, work colleagues and all who knew her. Our thoughts are with her family.

The funeral will be held on January 22, 2020. The family has asked that instead of flowers, donations can be made here.

Americans will know that The Procter & Gamble Company is an American multinational consumer goods corporation headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, founded in 1837 by William Procter and James Gamble.

In Europe we know their brands but tend not to see that much about P&G itself but wow! how I was impressed why this corporate at #CES2020.

From their impressive Press Conference on one of the Media Days to their booth on the actual show floor, they demonstrated to me how a large corporate could innovate and poke fun at itself.

There are lots of lessons for other corporates wanting to innovate which can be learnt from these folks.
