The announcement was made “on a grand scale with a massive digital out-of-home (DOOH) campaign displayed on The Reef, North America’s largest DOOH billboard,” the retail giant explained.

Displayed in downtown Los Angeles, California, the Reef is massive and “wraps around three sides of a large office building spanning an entire Los Angeles city block,” Newegg noted. “At 55 feet tall and 736 feet wide, the 40,000+ square foot DOOH billboard is one of the most impressive billboards in the world,” the company described.
