Revenue Reporting

Annually, OAAA requests a statement of member operator total revenue and total display counts. This  allows OAAA to aggregate industry facts & figures. Each month, members are asked to submit total revenue to Miller Kaplan, a certified public accounting firm, and Kantar Media, a nationally recognized media data service that monitors ad spend data for all media segments. The data is used in aggregate so your company's actual revenue is never released publicly.

How Reporting Strengthens OOH and Ways to Make it Better

There are many important reasons to report ad spend:

1. Robust monthly revenue reports to Miller Kaplan and Kantar are critical for accurately reporting the vibrancy and growth of the OOH industry. 
2. Accurately representing the size of the OOH industry can translate into increased business, interest from the press, interest from Wall Street, and respect from the public. It is about defining OOH success, credibility and economic impact in our communities across the US.
3. Our customers (advertisers & agencies) consistently ask for competitive information to build their marketing plans. They want to know what competitors doing, what markets they are in, and what OOH formats they are using. 
4. OOH planning and buying services use competitive information as a benchmarking tool as well as a guide when comparing marketing strategies to make critical decisions on OOH spending.
5. Competitive information can help clients determine how big an OOH buy needs to be  either to stay competitive in a market or to dominate their category.
6. Accurate competitive spending reports are something advertisers and their agencies expect from a mature and primary medium. This information elevates OOH to the media status it deserves alongside other core media.

You can help improve OOH reporting:
 
  1. Billboard companies represent the majority of companies that routinely report their revenue. To provide a more comprehensive view of the size of the OOH industry, revenue reporting is needed from all OOH media formats to deliver an accurate portrayal. 
  2. Both Kantar Media and Miller Kaplan have worked with the OAAA to develop simple formats for reporting revenue. Their forms Miller Kaplan Arase Revenue Reporting Form and Kantar Media Ad Spend Reporting Form are straightforward and your revenue reporting systems can be easily manipulated to provide the few data fields required.
