New York, NY – December 5, 2023 – DOOH Academy, a leading media industry education platform today announced the launched of the Digital & Programmatic Fundamentals course, the first in what will be a series of education programs for digital marketers, media buyers and out of home media salespeople.

“The out of home media industry has been going through a monumental transformation with digital signage deployment, programmatic automation of planning and buying, audience and impression-based trading, and the ability to measure campaign effectiveness. These advances are necessary to enable out of home media to be traded on par with other digital media including online, mobile, and social media, but have caused a knowledge gap across the industry.” Said Jeff Gunderman, Founder, DOOH Academy. “DOOH Academy was created to deliver easy access to education and thought leadership, and to better prepare media planners, buyers, and sellers for the digital and programmatic future. It is exciting to launch our first course.”

The program covers all aspects of the digital and programmatic out of home process. Each module includes a quiz and at the end of the course, participants who pass will receive a certification of completion.
