We love OOH, of course we do. We're naturally biased, it's what we do, breathe, pitch and admire every day. The out-of-home creatives we work with are blessed with an enormous canvas to display their vision, influence opinion, drive purchase and inspire hundreds of thousands of consumers that pass their billboards during any given campaign. There's power in outdoor, and the OBIES honor the best of the best each year. Here's a preview, but first -- what are the OBIES?

Every day, our team browses campaign photos captured from across the country so we can share — What We're Loving.

San Francisco has a new form of digital advertising worthy of the city’s reputation as the nation’s hotbed of tech innovation and creativity. Advertisers can now access Clear Channel Outdoor’s first-ever street level dynamic digital ad network incorporating the very latest in smart data to propel brands to reach new levels of engagement with targeted audiences.

In a world of advertising clutter, brands are continually challenged to break through a myriad of messages to engage consumers. The power of outdoor advertising not only lies in its size (it’s kind of hard to miss a 14x48 foot billboard), but in its ability to extend beyond the box – quite literally with embellishments. Outdoor can’t be skipped, fast-forwarded or blocked and when you add a little something unexpected to the canvas, it’s a natural human response to do a double take. We feel compelled to translate the optical illusion.

As the world's top marketing minds converge in New York for Advertising Week (including some of our own execs), we're sharing a few groundbreaking campaigns from the past year that illustrate how out-of-home is an engaging and effective component of the modern media mix. Take a look.

When you think of Dallas, what comes to mind?  Probably the Cowboys - the team and the real ones, Reunion Tower, JR, the Mavs and...a landmark waterfall?  That's right, Dallas is home to a landmark billboard with a 45-foot plunging man-made waterfall along I-35 on Goat Hill.

Look around. It’s likely you’ll see evidence of digital distraction and addiction to smart phones. What you might not notice is what remains omnipresent—the physical world around us. In fact, most of our activities—and a whopping 85 percent of sales, according to the National Retail Federation, still occur in the physical world, rather than the digital world.
