OOH is a leading non-intrusive ad form as it naturally reaches the audience without them having to make any adjustments in their schedule.

Stone walls of caves and other buildings also soon began to be used along with the stone obelisks. As the infrastructure of the places developed, there was also an increase in the clutter-free spaces for advertising. Hoardings or Billboards were the very first displays of modern OOH and have remained popular throughout the history of OOH. As villages became towns and towns became cities, hoardings soon found unique sites to solicit from. In time, OOH became an organized industry and OOH Agencies all over the world began providing systematized Outdoor Advertising Services to the brands.
