  • Country: A line item can only target venues in one country. Select the country from the drop down and this will filter the venues available in the targeting section. Once the line item is saved with a country selected, this cannot be changed.

Adding Venues to Targets

To find the Venues you would like to target, see Finding DOOH Venues.

Then select the ‘Add Selected Venues to Targets’ button.

To save this set-up and upload your Creatives, submit the Line Item with these venues associated, then upload Creatives in the Advertiser menu. You can then return to this Line Item and associate the necessary Creative sizes for the selected venues.

DOOH Dayparts

In the ‘Targeting’ section of the line under ‘Dayparts’ you can select the hours of the day and the days of the week when the line can serve. Hours and days selected in purple indicate times when the line will be active and can deliver impressions. Click on a purple hour or day to de-select it or remove it from the targets. Hours and days that appear grey are times when the line will not be eligible to deliver impressions. To select and add one of the hours or days that appear in grey, click on the box and it will turn purple when added to the targets.

Venue Metrics

Once you have added all your targets to the Line Item, you will see cumulative and average metrics across all the locations selected.

  • Daily Available Impressions: The total number of estimated impressions available per day across all venues selected. Actual daily impressions will vary and depend on the est. daily cost, bids and number of auctions won.

DOOH Deal Overview

In addition to open exchange inventory, DOOH can also be purchased through PMPs.

These Deals are readily available to all users directly in the Pontiac platform, create an DOOH Line Item, then under ‘Deals’, select the PMPs you would like to target. The Pontiac system will automatically increase your bid on the Line to meet the price floor of the Deals selected.
