Let’s step back a second - how do we say our name? Well, it sounds like ‘view’. It’s also a lot shorter than saying ‘Viewed Impressions for Out of Home’. We’re making it easy to sell and buy digital out of home (OOH) inventory. Our premium marketplace is connecting buyers and sellers, across the globe, simply. 

We are working to transform the industry and we believe it’s important to connect OOH and digital advertising to deliver brand experiences and more meaningful outcomes for agencies and advertisers. 

Join us as we build out the leading, global out of home (OOH) marketplace. Simply put, it’s our mission to make it easy to buy and sell OOH inventory.
