(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nHoka built a digital out-of-home campaign that pulled live Strava running statistics and displayed them on outdoor screens, per Marketing Dive.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): outdoor media is dead weight if it sits still.
