The global digital out-of-home ad market is projected to reach nearly $58 billion by 2030. As investment in DOOH increases, so does the need for transparency and accountability. Digital out-of-home advertising companies that are committed to quality need to stand out from the growing competition.
AAM’s DOOH Certification Program recognizes DOOH ad-serving companies that adhere to industry guidelines and standards and are committed to providing advertisers with accurate data and transparency.
DOOH CERTIFICATION PROCESS
How the Digital Out-of-Home Certification process works.
While each engagement is customized depending on the unique needs of your system, the AAM process include four basic steps.
Consultation
AAM meets with your organization to determine the scope of your review, what documentation is needed and to provide an overall explanation of the process and timing.
Collaboration
We gather data and records needed to complete the certification including interviews with subject matter experts, process demonstrations, testing and additional evidence gathering. During this phase, we will meet with your team via video calls to answer questions and facilitate the process.
Review
AAM examines the documentation and requests additional evidence to support the certification opinion.
Report
We provide you with a report that includes recommendations for optimization, if needed. Once you successfully complete the process, AAM will issue a certification seal that you can include on your website and promotional materials.
