Comparing Lucit to other Digital Out-of-Home Platforms

Because Lucit is such a specialized unique offering in the OOH Industry, comparisons with other platforms can be difficult. This guide will help you to understand what Lucit is compared to other platforms, how it works, and what it offers that the other systems do not.

Lucit and Media Owner Platforms

Lucit is a creative platform, and not specifically a platform to manage your entire digital out-of-home business or ecosystem. Lucit specifically is designed for managing and generating creatives across multiple screens, multiple operators and in multiple formats.

Lucit excels in this area, and as such, is typically integrated into other platforms to provide this functionality.

Sometimes these platforms provide some of the functionality of Lucit, but never all. And typically, these platforms were created, mostly, for Media Owners (Billboard Operators) to use, where Lucit was created to be used by Marketers / Advertisers and Ad Agencies.
