Advertise in Cyprus with One Day Agency
Connect With Local, International and Tourist Audiences Across Cyprus
One Day Agency plans campaigns across Cyprus's key coastal cities, placing brands on the busy seafront roads of Limassol and along the highway routes connecting Larnaca Airport to Limassol, Paphos, and Ayia Napa to reach tourists early in their visit.
Cyprus might be a relatively small island, but its thriving tourism industry, affluent local communities and well-established commercial centres present an exciting opportunity for international advertising campaigns.
Around 1.3 million people live in Cyprus, with the vast majority concentrated in the urban centres of Nicosia, Limassol, Larnaca and Paphos, where campaigns can achieve high levels of impressions. However, brands can also target the record-breaking numbers of tourists who travel to the island, reaching 4.53 million people last year.
Why Advertise in Cyprus?
The Cypriot economy attracts significant expatriate communities from overseas, which further augments the contribution the tourism industry makes to the national economy and adds another possible audience segment for overseas brands to target, especially those marketing luxury goods and services.
Outdoor advertising is also often effective on the island, because it is well suited to the transport habits of Cypriot locals and visitors. The lack of trains or subways means a huge proportion of people either drive or use the buses, all of which pass by billboards that are a familiar part of the landscape.
Some of the advantages associated with advertising in Cyprus include:
Being able to advertise to an audience of over a million residents within a small area.
Connecting with the many more tourists who travel to Cyprus each year from the UK, Greece, Israel, Poland and Germany.
Having access to both the commercial and political city centres, coastal tourist resorts and high-net-worth expat communities.
Options to target campaigns strategically between contrasting locations.
Combining traditional billboards with digital displays, bus advertising, airport media and retail placements.
Interestingly, Cyprus also has high digital adoption rates. That means outdoor campaigns can be launched alongside digital promotions, giving brands entering the market from overseas a way to build familiarity through repeat exposure and multi-channel campaigns.
How One Day Agency Can Help?
One Day has years of experience working with brands looking to establish a presence in Cyprus. We can access formats and placements through our media partners on the island to help secure displays in premium locations and showcase campaigns to commercial audiences in Nicosia, tourists in Paphos and within the affluent neighbourhoods of Limassol.
Campaign success isn’t solely dependent on choosing placements along the busiest roads or largest billboards, and instead relies on an in-depth knowledge of the localised market, audience trends and expectations, and the advertising regulations in Cyprus, all of which we can, of course, assist with.
Cyprus Advertising Formats

Outdoor Advertising in Cyprus
Billboards, most often displayed along roadways, are Cyprus’s most established advertising format, and are seen by commuters and visitors using the bus system travelling along major routes into Nicosia, Limassol seafront and commercial districts.
Other high-demand billboard locations include the roads around Larnaca Airport and the coastal routes leading towards popular holiday destinations, while Paphos offers opportunities to reach visitors around hotels, tourism attractions and leisure areas.

Digital Billboard Advertising
Digital screens offer more flexibility than traditional billboards, because creatives can be changed to match data points like the time of day, the weather, traffic levels and local events. These displays are most common in the busier commercial and entertainment areas, including Limassol city centre.
Businesses can use these campaign assets to complement other fixed placements, ensuring their messaging is consistent but shown in different formats, with the versatility to promote time-sensitive offers while also growing brand awareness.

![Transport Advertising in Cyprus]()
Transport Advertising in Cyprus
Cyprus is somewhat unique from many other European markets, because it doesn’t have a railway, tram or underground network anywhere on the island. This means public transport is based almost entirely on buses, with several urban services that operate in the larger cities and intercity routes that connect the biggest locations.
Brands have the opportunity to market products and services on buses, stops, stations and interchanges in destinations like Nicosia, Limassol, Larnaca and Paphos. International businesses can also use transport advertising as well as roadside campaigns to reinforce their messaging among commuters, students and tourists.

![Cyprus Airport Advertising]()
Cyprus Airport Advertising
Larnaca International Airport is the island's largest and busiest, handling close to 10 million passengers annually. Paphos International is another relevant advertising location for brands advertised to visitors travelling to the western part of Cyprus.
Airport advertising can put brands in front of international audiences with options that include digital screens, large-format displays, baggage-reclaim advertising, terminal branding and campaigns positioned along routes connecting airports with nearby cities and resorts.
-
![Retail and Place-Based Advertising]()
Retail and Place-Based Advertising
There are several major shopping destinations in Cyprus that are popular with overseas brands, including Nicosia Mall and MY MALL Limassol, which are among the island’s biggest retail centres.
Place-based advertising enables businesses to position promotions in locations that are most used by their target audiences, and alongside shopping areas, destinations can include hotels, conference centres, tourist resorts and entertainment venues.
