The deployment of DOOH screens, such as digital mupis, attracts visitors' attention & creates awareness among the viewers regarding the brands displayed on the screen.
The Digital Out-of-Home industry is significantly escalating in the GCC region, owing to the introduction of digitalized services in the sectors, including retail, hospitality, real estate, and automotive.
