This will give advertisers, brands, and agencies across Broadsign Reach’s regional portfolio (Indonesia, Hong Kong and Australia) access to Clear Channel’s digital inventory including 250 digital screens (Play) and 4 largest street-side digital billboards (Electric City) located in prime locations.

This announcement builds on the long-standing existing global strategic partnership between Clear Channel and Broadsign (UK, Europe, USA), to streamline Clear Channel’s OOH digital operations, sales, and programmatic offerings.

Media buyers and clients onboard the Broadsign Reach can take advantage of its extensive inventory that boasts 120,000 screens worldwide and 6,000 in Asia. Broadsign Reach is DSP-agnostic and connects Clear Channel Singapore to 34 DSPs.
