    The OOH SHARE sessions were conducted in Mumbai, in Delhi and in Bangalore over August and September 2008. The invitees were addressed by Ishan Raina, CEO, who gave a brief overview of the medium, Raghu Venkatraman (VP, Media Strategy) who presented the Campaign Evaluation Studies and Niloufer Dundh (CSO) who shared effective tools of using OOH TV media backed by client feedback. The highlight of the fourm was the learnings from OOH TV which were shared by Palal Bhatacharjee (Client Solutions Associate Director) and Anupam Asthana (Client Solutions Manager) of Nielsen. Nielsen is the global leader in research and they work very closely with Focus Media in China (Focus is the strategic partner of OOH Media). OOH Media has a tieup with Nielsen for research on the medium in India.

    Says Niloufer Dundh -‘The whole exercise was initiated to educate the media (planning and buying) fraternity about OOH TV, since it‘s an emerging medium. Over the 16 months of existence, OOH Media has had 150 plus clients. The clients‘ campaigns coupled with the studies by Nielsen, have taught how OOH TV has added to the client media mix. Keeping in mind the need to share these learnings, OOH Media decided to setup a forum for knowledge-sharing so that together with the media agencies we can build this industry.‘

    The first series of OOH SHARE was on a smaller scale but after a good feedback and turnout, OOH Media plans to conduct OOH SHARE on larger platforms over a period of time for different audiences including advertisers, reporting media and communication agencies.
