There remains a huge opportunity to market to consumers on the go, and a whole industry has risen to meet that demand. However, out of home advertising has many drawbacks that prevent companies from relying on this channel too heavily.

Companies like Intel hope to change this perception, as well as the overall effectiveness of this type of advertising.

In this episode of The Edge and Beyond, Shelby Skrhak discussed the past, present, and future of digital out of home (DOOH) advertising with Maroun Isaac and Andreas Soupliotis.

Isaac, the Director of Business Development in the Retail, Banking, Hospitality, and Education division at Intel, helped shape the company’s vision of effective DOOH advertising. Meanwhile, Soupliotis is the CEO and cofounder of Hivestack, helping to innovate the DOOH media buying process when the company was first established.

Traditional out-of-home advertising has not been a large part of any company’s marketing strategy because “brands are no longer interested in this type of media,” Isaac said. “They’re no longer interested in paying for ads that are incredibly inefficient and have lots of spilled impressions.”

 However, things began to change in the 2000s, once Intel began “championing a new marketing playbook for out of home,” Soupliotis said.

In 2018, Intel and other industry leaders pushed DOOH further with the 3A initiative. The three As – which stand for addressable, accountable, and attributable – are crucial to helping DOOH companies remain competitive with today’s giants of online advertising.

In 2020, Intel and Hivestack worked with Live Board to implement the 3A approach to a live campaign based on location data and audience movement patterns. Hivestack partnered with Intel to programmatically activate screens targeting a high concentration of business decision-makers. In total, intent from 1704 business domains was measured, generating an 8.8% overall lift, with nearly 4 million impressions delivered and positive consideration and intent-driven among key decision-makers.

Amazon's $5.7 billion store quarter is the small part of its retail push

Amazon's $5.7 billion store quarter is the small part of its retail push

Amazon reported $5.7 billion in physical store net sales in Q3 2026, up 2% year over year. Groceries and everyday essentials were about half of the units Amazon sold in Q3, a sign the grocery push is running mostly through delivery. For grocers, Amazon’s delivery-side footprint could matter more than the physical store line.

  • 01When Amazon's CEO talks about 'stores' with hundreds of billions in revenue and double-digit margins, that is the whole retail business; the physical-store line is about $5.7 billion a quarter.
  • 02Groceries and everyday essentials were about half of the units Amazon sold in Q3 while its physical stores grew 2%, a sign the grocery push is running mostly through delivery.
  • 03Growth multiples measured from Amazon's first physical-store quarter in 2017 start from roughly five weeks of Whole Foods sales, so they overstate like-for-like growth.

SAP and VF Corp's Walldorf store runs without staff during set hours

SAP and VF Corp's Walldorf store runs without staff during set hours

SAP and VF Corporation opened S.Fashion, a test store at SAP's Walldorf headquarters that runs with no staff during selected hours. Its core promise is operational: a sale updates inventory and can trigger replenishment without manual handoffs. That chain leans on item-level RFID data and robotics.

  • 01S.Fashion’s operational focus is the unglamorous part: a sale updates inventory and can trigger replenishment without a manual handoff between systems. Shopper-facing features like holographic try-on and an AI-assisted embroidery station sit alongside that back-end integration.
  • 02With nobody on the floor, the inventory record is the main witness an agent can act on. Vendor-supplied RFID benchmarks highlight how big the gap can be versus manual counting, so accuracy is the number to verify before automating restock decisions.
  • 03VF Corporation says it plans to scale what works across its brands. The first S.Fashion feature to show up in a The North Face, Vans or Timberland store will reveal which part held up.

Mizner Park sold to CP Group, Georgetown and ACRE partners

Mizner Park sold to CP Group, Georgetown and ACRE partners

CP Group, Georgetown and ACRE acquired Mizner Park, dividing leasing, management and renovation work across office, retail and apartments; the buildings sit on land under a ground lease running to 2088, and StepStone is involved via ACRE’s co-investment relationship.

  • 01Mizner Park work is split: CP Group and Georgetown manage office and retail, ACRE and ZRS handle apartments, and CBRE and Newmark lease office and retail.
  • 02The new owners hold the buildings while Boca Raton's Community Redevelopment Agency owns the land, on a ground lease running to 2088, and the long-term plan is being developed with the city.
  • 03East Boca retail asks about $40 a square foot at 4.5% vacancy, below West Palm Beach's urban core, which gives a refreshed tenant mix a clear rent benchmark to measure against.
