What the PSG Victory in the Champions League Teaches Us About Programmatic Sales Growth in DOOH
Just moments ago, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) made history by winning the UEFA Champions League 2025 with a stunning 5–0 victory over Inter Milan at the Allianz Arena. While this marks a major milestone in European football, it also offers a powerful metaphor for success in the programmatic digital out-of-home (DOOH) media landscape.
At Smart Act, we see a clear parallel between PSG’s strategic rise and our mission to drive Programmatic Sales Growth (PSG) in the DOOH ecosystem. Just as PSG invested in data, talent, and technology to dominate football, we believe media owners and advertisers can win their own championship through programmatic precision, AI, and growth-focused planning.
PSG: From Football Club to Growth Strategy Blueprint
Under the ownership of Qatar Sports Investment since 2011, PSG invested approximately €2.3 billion in player acquisitions — a data-driven long-term strategy that culminated in this unforgettable triumph.
This journey reflects the power of intelligent investment, much like the strategies we implement at Smart Act to help DOOH players elevate their media value. Our AI-driven solutions are designed to optimize every stage of the media lifecycle — from audience insights to proof of performance — enabling scalable growth, just like PSG.
We call it Programmatic Sales Growth — and it’s the new standard for media success.
Throughout the final, millions of viewers were exposed to the world’s biggest brands, reaffirming the unique impact of premium media exposure. The official UEFA Champions League sponsors this season include:
Heineken
PlayStation
Lay’s
FedEx
Mastercard
Crypto.com
Bet365
Just Eat Takeaway.com
Qatar Airways
In fact, Qatar Airways achieved a historic sponsorship hat-trick — simultaneously sponsoring the tournament itself and both finalists in the final match. That’s what we call omnichannel domination — a concept we translate into DOOH campaigns with full-funnel measurement and omnipresence strategies.
Winning with Data and Vision
PSG’s victory is not just a win on the pitch — it’s a blueprint for how vision, technology, and investment come together for greatness. In the same way, media owners and brands can scale their impact with Smart Act's AI-first platform for DOOH planning, activation, and measurement.
Our mission remains clear: to help the industry move forward through Programmatic Sales Growth — turning data into insights, insights into action, and action into sustained success.
