How it works

Programmatic DOOH explained simply.

01
Choose your audience
Define who you want to reach — by location (Central office workers), time (weekday lunch), demographics (25-44 professionals), or context (rainy days, high footfall periods).
02
Set budget and bid
Set a total budget and CPM bid. The DSP (demand-side platform) automatically buys impressions across screens that match your targeting criteria. No manual booking, no fixed commitments.
03
Screens play your creative
Your ad plays on screens across the network — MTR stations, mall atriums, office lobbies, bus shelters. Multiple creatives can rotate based on time, location, or trigger conditions.
04
Measure and optimize
Real-time reporting on impressions delivered, screens used, daypart distribution. Optimize mid-campaign — shift budget to higher-performing locations or times. Post-campaign foot traffic attribution available.

When to use

Programmatic DOOH vs traditional OOH.

  • Use pDOOH when you need flexibility. Short campaigns (1 week), event surrounds (conference), seasonal pushes (CNY week only), or testing before committing to traditional OOH. No fixed-period commitments.
  • Use pDOOH for targeting. Daypart targeting (lunch hour for F&B, evening commute for entertainment), weather triggers (umbrellas when raining), audience segments (office workers in Central). Traditional OOH can't do this.
  • Use traditional OOH for impact. A full MTR station takeover, a tram wrap, or a Sogo LED Wall creates brand impact that programmatic screens can't match. For landmark visibility, traditional wins.
  • Best approach: combine both. Traditional OOH for hero placements (tram, billboard, station takeover) + programmatic DOOH for always-on frequency across the network. Hypertree plans both as one integrated buy.
