In a world where advertising constantly seeks to innovate to capture consumers’ attention, Fake Out Of Home (FOOH) is emerging as a revolutionary trend, blending augmented reality, special effects, and CGI to create captivating outdoor advertising experiences. At the heart of this revolution, Rétines positions itself as a key player, leveraging its expertise in product photography and 3D modeling to bring to life a new kind of virtual outdoor commercial campaign.

Navigating with Caution

Despite its advantages, FOOH raises ethical questions about the distinction between real and virtual. Transparency becomes essential to maintain a trusting relationship with the audience by clearly indicating the fictional nature of the campaigns.

FOOH is more than just a passing trend; it is set to become a pillar of modern advertising, enriching the landscape with unique and captivating experiences. For brands and creators, it represents an opportunity to stand out in an increasingly saturated environment by offering campaigns that leave a lasting impression with their originality and innovation.
