Here Are Our 19 Favorite Advertisements from the 2022 OBIE Awards

FOR THE PAST 80 years, the OBIE Awards have promoted some of the industry’s best and most extravagant out-of-home (OOH) advertising projects. From digital screens with addressable video to transit takeovers to billboard campaigns to augmented reality and experiential programs, OOH grows every day in exciting new ways. The awards program, hosted by the Out of Home Advertising Association of America (OAAA), allows different companies, big and small, to showcase their ingenuity in the advertising space.
