How Oriental Sunrise pushes the envelope with giant digital displays

One of the best qualities of out-of-home media is its unmatched ability to catch attention. Large format billboards and digital displays draw the eye in a way that online and mobile advertising can’t, and offer an amazing canvas on which creative work can be shared with the world.

And that’s just in general. The largest displays take the concept even further, offering true spectacle for all to enjoy. Oriental Sunrise Media Group, which operates a network that includes one of these ultra-large screens, sees them as a special opportunity for connecting with large sections of the population through outdoor media.

sky-high dooh ambitions

Formed in 2011, Oriental Sunrise set its sights on becoming an influential player in the fast-expanding digital out-of-home space in China. Pursuing large-format displays, audience interactivity, and prominent public locations for its screens, Oriental Sunrise has succeeded in achieving high audience traffic near its screens and attracting top brands to display advertising on its network, including names like Audi, Lancôme, Dyson, and Samsung.

asia’s largest outdoor digital display

The jewel of Oriental Sunrise’s network is found in Chongqing, a city in China’s south. Its display there is an enormous two-sided, 3,788 square metre screen wrapped around the side of the Chongqing Guanyin Bridge Carnival Building. It’s about the size of nine basketball courts put together, and typically plays host to stunning video content delivered by its advertisers.

Its prominent location, facing Guanyinqiao Square, Jialing Park, and the entrance to an underground pedestrian passage, drives a fair bit of foot traffic by its screens every day, with about 500,000 pedestrians walking by daily. It also faces the city’s busiest main road, with about 350,000 vehicles passing by each day.

As Oriental Sunrise focuses on building its network further, it continues to make premium real estate in bustling business sectors, as well as high levels of local visibility, key requirements for locations where it deploys new screens. Soon to come are new experiments to push the network with new kinds of integrations. This includes projects like synchronizing campaign playback with the performance of nearby fountains and LED lighting, connecting the screens to mobile devices, and other projects that increase the already considerable impact of the screens.

Screens as prominent as Oriental Sunrise Media Group’s largest can’t afford to go down, and what’s more, they come with specific technical challenges that not every software platform is equipped to manage. Synchronizing media across the panels of the screen must be completed flawlessly every time in order to create truly stunning visuals. Meanwhile, integrating outside data feeds, as is required for complex campaigns involving synchronization with fountains and lighting, demands a platform that is able to reliably connect with those services.

To accomplish these tasks, Oriental Sunrise has adopted Broadsign. The Broadsign platform’s unmatched reliability and extensibility make it the perfect solution for managing huge displays and the exciting campaigns that run on them. The open nature of the platform, meanwhile, places practically no limits on the creativity of Oriental Sunrise and its advertisers, allowing the owners to focus on growing their network and delivering the innovative DOOH experience that will build their profile all across China. It’s an ideal pairing, and one likely to lead to exciting things for the Chinese DOOH market.

Broadsign and Mirakl Ads Announce Strategic Partnership to Unify Online and In-Store Retail Media

Cannes, France – June 24, 2026 — At the 73rd Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, Mirakl, the Operating System for Intelligent Commerce, and Broadsign, the leading global platform for managing and monetising out-of-home (OOH) media, today announced a strategic partnership that bridges the gap between digital retail media channels and in-store advertising. The collaboration will enable more retailers and brands to activate, manage, and measure campaigns across the entire shopper journey through a single platform.

As retail media continues to mature, advertisers are increasingly demanding omnichannel solutions that better reflect how consumers shop: researching online, then purchasing in-store. However, executing retail media campaigns across online, offline, and in-store channels today typically involves separate vendor management, fragmented planning processes, and siloed reporting. This partnership sets out to change that by integrating Mirakl Ads’ retail media solution for eCommerce and digital marketplaces with Broadsign’s in-store media platform.

For Mirakl’s Retail customers, leveraging the integration will ensure a unified buying experience for their advertisers: one campaign brief and one point of contact, covering both e-commerce placements and in-store digital screens. The partnership opens a new path to monetizing physical in-store assets alongside existing online inventory. It unlocks incremental revenue while giving advertisers omnichannel reach.

As the two companies build the integration, retailer control will be central: Mirakl Ads will power the retail media network, while the Broadsign Platform manages the technical delivery of in-store content. Retailers retain full ownership of their data, shopper experience, inventory, and pricing decisions, while maintaining the flexibility to build on existing technology investments. Advertisers benefit from a consolidated view of campaign performance across online and in-store channels, so every dollar spent can be measured, compared, and optimized across the full shopper journey.

“Retail media has evolved rapidly, but online, offline, and in-store are often still treated as separate channels, leading to missed opportunities and revenue,” said Mats Klevjer, Director of Partnerships for Retail Media, Broadsign. “Our work with Mirakl Ads on this integration breaks down those barriers, helping retailers give advertisers the ability to transact on in-store screens with the same ease and performance metrics they expect of digital campaigns.”

“Retailers are asking for solutions that maximize the value of every customer touchpoint, both digital and physical,” said Octavie Gosselin, Vice President of Mirakl Ads. “By partnering with Broadsign, we are setting out to build a truly unified omnichannel retail media platform. Brands will be able to benefit from a single campaign brief covering both their online and in-store presence, and the opportunity ahead, for retailers, advertisers, and the broader ecosystem, is significant.”

Both companies are actively bringing this omnichannel vision to life, with phased capabilities expected to expand. The integration is anticipated to launch in Q3, with beta testing already underway.
