At OOH Audit, we specialize in both Audit and Monitoring, and it’s essential to understand how these functions differ — especially in the context of Out-of-Home (OOH) advertising. Here's a breakdown:
🔍 Audit
An audit is a one-time, structured inspection conducted to verify if media assets or campaigns meet predefined standards, agreements, or placements.
In OOH Advertising, an Audit Means:
Verifying if a billboard was installed at the correct location.
Checking the quality, visibility, and dimensions of the media.
Confirming compliance with campaign start and end dates.
Conducting pre-acquisition audits before campaign rollout.
✅ Purpose: Accountability & verification
✅ When: Before, during, or after a campaign (spot-checks)
📡 Monitoring
Monitoring is an ongoing process that involves tracking campaign delivery in real-time or at regular intervals to ensure continued compliance and performance.
In OOH Advertising, Monitoring Includes:
Regular site visits with geotagged photo proof.
Daily/weekly updates on the campaign's status.
Tracking BTL activities or retail branding across cities.
Identifying lapses like under-delivery or delays.
✅ Purpose: Real-time visibility & performance tracking
✅ When: Continuously throughout the campaign
🧩 Evaluation
While we at OOH Audit don't conduct impact evaluation in the traditional marketing sense, it generally refers to analyzing outcomes after the campaign — like awareness, footfalls, or ROI.
⚙️ How We Use Both at OOH Audit:
