Outdoor Advertising Professionals

What Outdoor Advertising Professionals does

Outdoor Advertising Professionals, operating as OAP Mediatech Private Limited, is a Mumbai-headquartered out-of-home (OOH) advertising agency founded in 2002. The firm provides full-service OOH media planning, buying, and deployment across classic, transit, digital, and non-traditional media, and in 2023 rebranded to OAP Mediatech to extend its offering into above-the-line, digital media, data, and research services. It serves enterprise and mid-market clients through eight regional offices in India (Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Pune, Hyderabad, Bangalore) and reports 1,200+ clients served, 16 Fortune 500 companies as clients, and 68% client retention.

The company's core differentiator is a proprietary technology stack of nine named products — ProLocator (AI-powered site selection), VAI (visibility-adjusted impact), AIS (EEG-based attention scoring), AIP (audience insights), ProVisualiser (computer-vision pre-testing), ADeX (competitive intelligence across 52 markets), Valudate (third-party audit), Visual Verity (image forensics), and the OAP Database — built on a first-party data asset covering 120 million samples, 85 million+ profiles, 40 million daily tracked individuals, 3.1 million points of interest, and 1.3 million media assets. In 2022, OAP partnered with Relu AI to co-develop Roadstar, which was white-labelled as a re-infused ProLocator.

OAP generates revenue through professional-services fees on a per-campaign basis (pricing is not publicly disclosed) and runs a sales-led, direct field-sales go-to-market model led by a CEO and four regional COOs covering West, North, South, and East India. Disclosed revenue in 2023 was ₹3,700 million (approximately $44–45 million at 2023 exchange rates), with 160 employees, 2,500+ completed projects, ISO 9001:2008 certification, and a 2012 Great Place to Work award as the principal validation points. The firm is privately held with no evidence of external venture or institutional funding.
