Over 55 New Digital Displays Unveiled Powered by Vistar’s Full-Stack DOOH Infrastructure Software 

Vistar Media, a cutting-edge global provider of technology for digital out-of-home (DOOH), and Lamar Advertising Company, one of the largest outdoor advertising companies in the world, today announced the launch of the new Denver Transit DOOH network. The network currently encompasses over 55 state-of-the-art digital displays, with 130 more on the way, and is fully powered by Vistar’s stack of industry-leading DOOH software solutions. In addition to monetizing the new Denver network programmatically, available through Vistar’s supply-side platform, Lamar is also leveraging Vistar’s content management system and ad server for the network’s core operations.

The DOOH network has displays in Denver Union Station, Denver International Airport, Civic Center Station, Boulder Downtown Station and along Highway 36 from Denver to Boulder. Denver Union Station, one of the largest transportation hubs in the country, recently underwent a complete renovation to bring the transit hub into the 21st century. The newly upgraded full motion DOOH displays bring a vibrant, advertising-rich environment to the facility that serves well over 530,000 people every week and more than 3 million per year. The technology upgrade is helping to create an improved environment for consumers going in and out of the station by displaying train times, enhancing the commuters’ relationship with the station, and elevating the overall experience for riders.

By using Vistar’s CMS and ad server, Lamar is able to display both critical transit information and advertising content within the on-screen displays. In order to make this happen, Vistar built a custom Regional Transportation District application to display transit schedules with real-time departures. The CMS and ad server work seamlessly with the Vistar SSP to integrate programmatic advertising into the network’s content experience.

Lamar and Vistar have been working side-by-side over the past decade to push the boundaries and capabilities of DOOH to innovate within the programmatic landscape. Most recently, this partnership has extended into the core operational infrastructure needed to provide a cutting-edge consumer experience, seamlessly blended with programmatic revenue opportunities.

“Denver is thriving, with one of the fastest-growing economies in the country. We are thrilled to play an integral role in the modernization of such a historic landmark that supports a growing population, ” said Lucy Markowitz, SVP of US Demand, Vistar Media. “The digital capabilities of this station rival some of the iconic out-of-home networks across the country and affords advertisers the opportunity to reach this important audience at a key moment in their daily journey.”

“When we set out to build a DOOH network in Denver, we envisioned it would become a dynamic resource for local businesses to capture the attention of the thousands of consumers who travel across our city each day,” said Ian Dallimore, Vice President of Digital Growth & GM of Programmatic at Lamar Advertising Company. “We knew that having the right company driving the technological capabilities of the displays would be a critical component to success. Vistar’s Cortex content management system makes it very easy for us to deploy and monitor the entire network, while their ad server has helped us optimize yield and track campaign performance through one centralized platform.”

The new Denver Transit DOOH network is now available. The displays target Denver’s main transportation network consisting of buses, commuter rails, light rails and shuttles.
