Combining outdoor and radio can be a powerful means of building a brand

Outdoor and radio generate higher levels of frequency, delivering multiple executions to consumers operating in different mindsets. These effects are enhanced by the high levels of implicit learning across these media, enabling brand messages to be more directly absorbed into long term memory. These factors facilitate the creation of new brand associations faster than one message or medium alone
