The out of home industry has revealed the full year revenue results including category breakdowns for 2018, with the industry reporting a total increase of 10.8% on net media revenue in 2018.
This marks the start of a change in how the Outdoor Media Association (OMA) reports OOH revenue, and is due to recent changes in ownership which may trigger compliance issues for the OMA’s ASX-listed members.
The industry body will make four quarterly announcements of total aggregated industry data, including the proportion of digital revenue. In these releases there will be no category breakdowns reported. This announcement marks the final reporting of said categories.
