Nominees announced: The Drum Awards for Out Of Home 2021

November 4, 2021 | 10 min read

This has been a particularly challenging time for out-of-home (OOH) advertisers: with successive lockdowns and a rise in working from home, fewer people have been commuting, dining in restaurants or shopping in physical stores.

McDonald's

Talon Outdoor work for McDonald’s is shortlisted in the Classic Posters and Banners category

In spite of that, the best OOH campaigns remain some of the most talked-about, memorable work. And, as cities around the world begin to pulse with pedestrians once more, this remains a prestigious and exciting field, defying the rise of digital advertising by creating effective, innovative work.

The Drum Awards for Out of Home celebrates the best creatives and strategic thinkers, whose efforts have struck a chord with consumers and achieved real results. This year’s awards also included several new categories, brought in to recognize recent changes in the industry. These include Best Response to Change, Rising Star of the Year, and Best Use of Social Media.

The full list of nominees is below, and more information on each entry is available on the website. 2021’s winners will be announced at a virtual ceremony on Wednesday November 24register here to add it to your calendar.
