(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nHoka built Strava running activity data into digital out-of-home campaigns, per Marketing Dive, so ads showed actual runner performance stats to specific geographic audiences.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): use first-party data from a platform your customer already trusts to personalize the outdoor ad. Hoka didn't ask runners to opt in to a new data exchange—they used Strava, which runners already feed. The OOH becomes a mirror: 'runners in your city logged 47,000 miles this month on Hoka.'
