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.

Hackers hit supermarket fridges across Europe again, three weeks after France

Hackers hit supermarket fridges across Europe again, three weeks after France

Grocery stores in at least nine European countries reported fridges and freezers pushed to warm temperatures overnight on November 2, three weeks after a similar attack hit hundreds of French supermarkets. Delhaize, Carrefour Belgium, Coop Sweden and SuperValu confirmed affected stores, ICA and SuperValu stores discarded or pulled chilled and frozen stock, and Belgian prosecutors opened an investigation. Danfoss said its refrigeration controllers were involved again, and Censys counts just over 1,000 of its StoreView interfaces still reachable from the internet. Nobody has claimed responsibility, and officials have not said whether the two waves are connected.

  • 01AFP counted nine countries hit; SecurityWeek said 100+ stores; Danfoss said its controllers were involved again.
  • 02A Belgian refrigeration executive said attackers forced evaporators into defrost mode, the same technique used in France, and Lupovis said most login attempts it saw used publicly documented factory default credentials.
  • 03CERT-FR and Greece's cybersecurity authority advise taking controllers off the public internet, using VPN access with multi-factor authentication, changing default passwords and replacing unsupported units.

Walmart commits roughly $6 billion to automate 25 US distribution centers with Symbotic

Walmart commits roughly $6 billion to automate 25 US distribution centers with Symbotic

Walmart and Symbotic expanded their partnership with a roughly $6 billion commitment to automate 25 US regional distribution centers over several years. Walmart says the move will help it offer a broader assortment, improve speed and provide more reliable restocking.

  • 01Walmart's roughly $6 billion Symbotic commitment is meant to increase storage capacity at its regional distribution centers and support upstream e-commerce inventory management. Walmart says the goal is a broader assortment, more speed and more reliable replenishment.
  • 02The roughly $6 billion covers work over several years. The deal also leaves room for additional projects across Walmart's global supply chain beyond the 25 regional distribution centers.
  • 03Watch whether Walmart names the 25 sites or extends work outside the US. Either would show whether the model spreads network-wide.

Stores ring up most retail sales but earn 5% of retail media revenue

Stores ring up most retail sales but earn 5% of retail media revenue

E-commerce was 17.1% of US retail sales in Q2 2026, leaving most sales to physical stores, yet stores draw only about 5% of retail media revenue, Omdia estimates.

  • 0143% of US retail media buyers with active in-store budgets say they underuse them. They cite activation complexity and measurement limits, which Fingoweb argues sit in software and data.
  • 02In retail media, “inventory” can mean screen time or shelf stock. Networks that sell ads need visibility into both.
