Survey on Intention to Use Digital OOH and Application Prospects
During and After the COVID-19 Pandemic in 2022
LIVE BOARD, INC. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Jun Sakurai; hereinafter, “LIVE BOARD”) conducted aquestionnaire survey on the intention to use digital OOH, and the prospects of its use during and after the COVID-19 pandemic in2022. The questionnaire was conducted on men and women between the ages of 20 and 69, who are working in companiesthroughout Japan. We focused on people who had experience placing ads on digital OOH, and asked them what they thought about
its use during and after the pandemic.

◆ Changes in intention to use digital OOH during and after the COVID-19 pandemic
We found that 37.9% of respondents wanted to use digital OOH (very much want to use / want to use / somewhat want to use)during the pandemic, which was higher than the 29.2% who did not (do not really want to use / do not want to use / do not want touse at all). Of those who answered that they wanted to use the service, 94.1% answered that they would like to continue to use it(very much want to use / want to use / somewhat want to use) after the pandemic. Those who intended to use digital OOH during
the pandemic also expressed a need to use it after the pandemic, indicating that they expect to see positive effects from their adplacements.

◆ Application prospect of digital OOH during and after the COVID-19 pandemic
The top three application prospects during the pandemic were: “possible to deliver desired ads, whether it is network, single-sided,or area-specific (13.5%),” “possible to deliver ads with material up to 180 seconds in length, such as 6, 15, 30, or 60 seconds (12.7%),”and “possible to deliver demographic targeting ads using location information (12.5%).”
The results regarding after the pandemic were: “possible to deliver interests- and preferences-targeted ads using location information

(14.0%),” “possible to deliver custom audience ads using location information (13.4%),” and “possible to distribute ads on 125 outdoor
screens nationwide (12.9%).”From this survey, it became clear that there is a high level of expectation for the efficient delivery of ads in the face of limited
movement of people, with the following features of use during the pandemic: “the freedom to replace advertising materials,” “possible
to deliver ads in any desired network or area,” and “possible to measure the effectiveness of ads using location information.” As for thecharacteristics of the application prospects after the pandemic, there is a growing need for a revival of the movement of people inoutdoor areas, such as “distribution on 125 screens nationwide,” and for distribution in differentiated outdoor ads, such as“distribution of tweets on SNS” and “linking with content.”
In addition, demand for “delivery of up to 180 seconds,” “effectiveness measurement using location information,” and “customaudience using location information” was high for both during and after the pandemic, indicating high expectations not only for
efficient outdoor ad delivery, but also for the sense of exposure that only OOH can provide.

By utilizing DOCOMO’s Mobile Kukan Toukei® and other location data, LIVE BOARD is beginning to respond to the current demand forDX, such as targeted delivery and visualization of a unique reach.
In 2022, LIVE BOARD will continue to expand its services in order to provide advertisers with the benefits of DX in an easier-tounderstand manner, and to further enhance the value of digital OOH.
