Developed alongside Halfspace, the sports data marketing agency acquired by Pri0r1ty earlier this year, Metr1c is designed to redefine how entertainment brands leverage data and AI to grow both revenues and fan engagement.

These include The BRIT Awards and Sony, as well as Celtic FC, Scottish Golf, and Favela Cerveja, demonstrating the platform's ability to drive results across music, sports, and consumer brands. Metr1c is specifically tailored to meet the evolving demands of brands and rightsholders in fast-changing entertainment industries. By combining Pri0r1ty's proprietary AI tools with Halfspace's deep analytics and marketing expertise, the agency helps clients to identify the right commercial partners, predict partnership outcomes, optimize performance in real-time, and srive quantifiable, long-term growth. Sheehan emphasized that as the entertainment sector becomes increasingly data-driven, Metr1c will provide a powerful platform to maximize revenue opportunities while enabling brands to engage fans in more personalized and measurable ways. Finally, Sheehan confirmed Pri0r1ty's growing interest in the US market, with early client trials already underway and a broader expansion plan in progress. #proactiveinvestors #pri0r1tyintelligencegrouplc #aim #pr1 #otcqb #priaf #DataServices #Pri0r1tyIntelligence #JamesSheehan #Halfspace #SportsTech #DigitalAssets #BrandPartnerships #USMarket #BusinessStrategy #ProactiveInvestors #TechHoldings #AudienceData #MetricAgency

“Digital out-of-home is where attention lives. It's unskippable, brand-safe, and contextually relevant—right when and where people are most engaged. If your brand isn't showing up in high-dwell environments, you're missing a powerful and measurable way to connect.” That's a quote from Peter Schofield, VP of Partnerships at Atmosphere TV, and a sneak peek at today's episode.Hi there, I'm Kerry Curran, B2B Revenue Growth Executive Advisor, Industry Analyst, and host of Revenue Boost: A Marketing Podcast. Every episode, I sit down with top experts to bring you actionable strategies that drive real results. If you're serious about growth, hit subscribe and stay ahead of your competition today.In The Last Untapped Channel: Driving Precision, Attention, and Revenue with Smart Digital Out-of-Home, I sit down with Peter Schofield. He's the VP of Brand Partnerships at Atmosphere TV. We explore how digital out-of-home advertising has evolved into one of the most targeted, high-impact channels in modern media. From smart targeting and unskippable content to real-world attribution and creative flexibility, Peter breaks down how brands are turning physical spaces into revenue-generating media environments.Be sure to stay tuned until the end, where Peter shares how top brands are using API-powered digital out-of-home to personalize in-the-moment engagement at scale. Let's go!Kerry Curran, RBMA (00:01.698)So welcome, Peter. Please introduce yourself and share your background and expertise.Peter Schofield (00:07.960)Thanks, Kerry. I'm excited to be here today. I'm Peter Schofield, VP of Brand Partnerships with Atmosphere TV. I've been in the marketing and advertising space for the better part of 30 years. I've always been curious about human behavior, social sciences, marketing, and advertising—connecting brands with people and people with people. That always puts you at the front of technology and innovation. So I've always been excited about that, and that's where I've spent most of my adult career.Kerry Curran, RBMA (00:41.112)Excellent, great. I'm excited to dive into your area of expertise. When we first met and dove into Atmosphere TV and your capabilities, I got really excited about the unique aspect of connecting consumers with brands and helping brands with their narrative and storytelling. So, excited to dive in. Talk about out-of-home—what trends are you seeing and hearing today?Peter Schofield (01:18.670)Sure. The out-of-home market, specifically the digital out-of-home market, is certainly thriving. The extraordinary reach, context, and impact of digital out-of-home are literally reshaping consumer engagement. Brands and agencies looking to move the needle are tapping into screens and spaces that have been previously overlooked, undervalued, or underutilized.Peter Schofield (01:48.192)Three key elements that are a consistent part of the narrative—what folks are looking for in their investment—are efficacy, deliverability, and accountability. Out-of-home provides all of those.Kerry Curran, RBMA (01:59.448)Definitely. I think the advent and growth of digital out-of-home really revamped and breathed new life into what we knew as traditional billboards, bus stops, etc. It's very cool to see the evolution and the more advanced targeting capabilities.Peter Schofield (02:26.644)It is sophisticated now. It's not your father's billboards, as they say, right? It's the optimal blend of scale, mass reach, and local precision. Brand-safe channels are really making this a distinguished place to market, for sure.Kerry Curran, RBMA (02:45.142)Yeah. How are you seeing that increased interest in out-of-home as part of the media mix?Peter Schofield (02:51.706)I think folks are recognizing it as a real opportunity to align messaging with not only what people are doing, but why they're doing it. At the neighborhood level, we can connect with what people are doing, how they're feeling, and what they're experiencing in real time—where they live, work, and play. It's inherently location-based and enhanced significantly by contextual targeting. That's where companies like Atmosphere really come into play.Kerry Curran, RBMA (03:26.784)Definitely. There are so many stats that prove the engagement and growth opportunity. I know you had some from eMarketer. Want to dive into those?Peter Schofield (03:40.846)Yes. In 2024, out-of-home revenue in the U.S. was just over $9 billion—a 4.5% increase from 2023. More notably, digital out-of-home, where I focus, represented about 34% or $3 billion of that market, also growing 4.5% year-over-year.Kerry Curran, RBMA (04:30.104)Definitely. With location targeting and dynamic creative, it's a perfect blend of niche targeting and visual storytelling.Peter Schofield (04:56.696)Absolutely. One person described it as, “Out-of-home is where attention lives.” It lets marketers deliver the right message at the right moment—contextually relevant, unskippable, and effective.Kerry Curran, RBMA (05:11.700)Right—and you can't skip an ad when it's in a waiting room or gym.

After a six-month hiatus, I'm back — with clarity, vulnerability, and a few dating disasters worth laughing over. In this deeply honest episode, I open up about what nine months of alcohol-free dating has taught me about my patterns, self-worth, and the kind of love I'm truly seeking.From chasing emotionally unavailable partners to realizing how many first dates feel like monologues, I reflect on the painful, funny, and unexpectedly healing parts of modern dating — sober.

Key Takeaways:The impact of sobriety on clarity, patterns, and emotional availability in datingWhy we chase temporary highs and what that reveals about unresolved woundsHow to break the cycle of seeking worth through conquestThe subtle (and not-so-subtle) red flags that become obvious when you're soberThe emotional toll of performative dating culture and one-sided conversationsHow dating is a mirror for our deepest insecurities — and our growthThe importance of staying grounded in your worth regardless of someone else's attentionCheck out my book, Struck Inside Out: Essays, Meditations, and Poetry to Help You Heal Heartbreak, Embrace Change, and Love Yourself: https://www.amazon.com/Struck-Inside-Out-Meditations-Heartbreak/dp/B0BP4D8MTTStruck Inside Out Audiobook: https://www.amazon.com/Struck-Inside-Out-Meditations-Heartbreak/dp/B0CPYW3JPM/ref=tmm_aud_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=Spotify Writing Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7BRDzK21DbrIEadQdjoPjR?si=0f9ec1aaddfd4e52Follow Danielle:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/struckinsideoutTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@struckinsideout?_t=8jItIyuhHHa&_r=1LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielle-bertoli-6015889b/Struck Inside Out Merch: https://www.struckinsideout.com/shopBrand Partnerships: https://www.struckinsideout.com/partnershipsSign up for my newsletter: https://www.struckinsideout.com/subscribeInsight Timer Meditations: https://insighttimer.com/daniellebertoliAudio Producer: Owen KellyFollow Owen on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mixedbyowen_?igsh=ZzB1ZWdoOGd1aTV3

WHAT WAS SAID “The era of followers is dead.”Urban Outfitters' Head of Brand Marketing and Communications, Cyntia Leo, wrote the obit for follower counts during one of the first sessions Monday morning: How Brands Are Winning With Creator-Led Strategies in 2025.“This is really a time about the algorithm,” said Cyntia. “Creators help us be in the algorithm, not just being in the platform.”The idea that follower count no longer holds the value it once did echoed throughout the week.Prop CEO Joseph Perelli drove the point home in a panel on creators and performance marketing: “Obsessing over followers is the biggest mistake marketers make.” Between fake followers, poor audience targeting, and limited organic reach, follower count is no longer a reliable metric — for creators or brands.Takeaway: If leadership still insists on hiring creators based on follower count, it's time to let them know the game has changed. Smart marketers are prioritizing deep content alignment and leveraging creator content for paid media opportunities.Now that our feeds have changed from who we're following, to what they're talking about, follower count matters less than a topic alignment, said Sprout Social Vice President, Outbound Product Management, Brittany Hennessy.Brittany pointed to Loewe and how they opted for the “cucumber guy,” TikToker Logan Moffitt, instead of a fashion or beauty creator when the company launched a cucumber-scented candle.There's a lot of conversation about topic-based marketing, agreed Nya-Gabriella Parchment, UTA's Head of Brand Partnerships.When you understand what your consumer is talking about, what they're truly interested in, what movies they're watching, what podcasts they listen to, that's when, “you can understand who's leading that conversation to tap into and work with,” Nya recommended.Takeaway: Topic alignment is another way of saying ‘Don't focus on follower count.' Instead, brands should prioritize creators who are actively driving conversations around consumer interests — like cucumbers.I got to speak with Lindsey Gamble and Adweek's Senior Tech Reporter, Kendra Barnett, on a panel titled: Creator Content Only Belongs on Social... Or Does It?Spoiler alert: Creators are being effectively deployed up and down the funnel and across every channel.“Creator-featured ads do much better,” echoed Snapchat's Global Head of Public Figures, Francis Roberts, during a panel on Building a Brand That Lasts.The benefit of creators isn't purely for advertising purposes. With more brands launching personality-first projects — like Substack newsletters — creators are becoming even more indispensable for their creative skills and audience insights: these are partners who understand the type of content audiences want to consume!Takeaway: You're not just paying for assets or access to an influencer's audience, said Lindsey: “What I'm really excited about is bringing them in as consultants, bringing them in as creative partners. That leads to more co-creation and collaboration, as opposed to just, ‘Here's a brief, go create a video.'“You want to lead with a content-first approach.”“Brands want to be humanized, and creators can help them.”
