When eBay wanted to measure how well out of home advertising communicated its core messaging, the brand turned to OUTFRONT. With a campaign that included digital transit and billboard formats, eBay sought to position itself in consumers’ minds as an online fashion destination. We worked with our independent third-party measurement partner MFour to determine the campaign’s impact.
