About the episode

In this episode, we talk with María ngeles Varvaror, director and creator of AdOOh Comunicación, to delve into Outdoor Advertising as one of the most solid, creative, and strategic media within visual communication. Throughout the talk, we reviewed his professional evolution, from the analog processes of fixing on buses to the current planning of multi-city campaigns.

We also explore how the Outdoor Advertising provides much more than commercial visibility: it helps to finance urban furniture, transport and services for citizens, in addition to continuing to be a real, tangible and memorable medium in an environment saturated with digital impacts.

In addition, we address key issues such as the sustainability of the medium, the importance of adapting creativity to each medium, the value of the shop window as outdoor communication, and the problem of generational succession in essential trades such as signage and installation. Overall, this episode allows us to understand that the exterior not only communicates: it also builds city, identity, and profession.
