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.

ShipStation now offers Walmart shipping rates with up to $100 lost-package protection

ShipStation now offers Walmart shipping rates with up to $100 lost-package protection

ShipStation has announced Ship with Walmart. It gives Walmart Marketplace sellers direct access to Walmart-negotiated shipping rates inside the ShipStation platform, plus up to $100 in protection on lost-item claims. Only eligible orders shipped on time are covered by that protection. How much a seller saves depends on its own lanes, so the real work before peak season is comparing rates side by side.

  • 01This matters most to seller-fulfilled Walmart brands shipping U.S. domestic parcels from ShipStation; cross-border volume stays on existing carriers because the launch is domestic only.

Retail tech installs go right the first time when technicians know the why

Retail tech installs go right the first time when technicians know the why

Telaid argues that retail technology installations succeed on the first attempt when technicians understand the purpose and end use of the systems they're deploying, not just the mechanical steps. The company standardizes this understanding through certification programs, pairing new technicians with experienced ones, quality audits with feedback loops, and lifecycle service that extends beyond the initial install.

  • 01Technicians who understand camera aim and sensor height are more likely to catch install errors on site, reducing repeat visits and added disruption.
  • 02Telaid standardizes knowledge transfer across locations by certifying technicians on specific technology and customer requirements, pairing newcomers with experienced installers for their first two or three sites, and maintaining ongoing quality audits with documented lessons learned.
  • 03First-time install success is supported by pre-site coordination like materials, permits, and pre-configuration, plus having the right team so trades don’t block each other.

Santé raises $15M for AI sales agents for liquor stores

Santé raises $15M for AI sales agents for liquor stores

Liquor store POS and payments platform Santé raised $15M to build AI agents aimed at boosting store sales.

  • 01Santé earns from payment processing built into its platform, so its income rises with store sales, and the release says its next AI agents will target slow inventory and lapsed customers.
  • 02Santé’s materials cite a quarter of inventory taking a year or more to earn back its cost, a metric to watch for merchandising-agent impact.
  • 03The sharper question for any liquor POS demo: which agent actions post automatically, like invoice-driven cost updates, and which wait for an owner's approval, like price cuts on slow movers.
