Out-of-Home (outdoor) advertising can include billboards, street, roads, highways, transit, and alternative advertising, for example:
To source and provide the level of campaign advertising data requested for the near comprehensive range of government departments and agencies [including public non-financial corporations (PNFCs), formerly Government Trading Enterprises (GTEs)] for each advertisement would be a major task, and the allocation of the significant resources required could not be justified.
I note a similar question was asked in the other place regarding all advertising approved on Government property. Asking approximately 70 agencies individually does not significantly change the resources required to answer the questions.
