Expand Brand Awareness in Spain and Europe With Madrid Advertising
Madrid is a high-demand advertising location, with strategic billboards and marketing displays seen by large audiences. The city itself has a population of 7 million, augmented by over 10 million international visitors a year, making it one of Europe’s largest metropolitan areas.
As a political, economic, financial, and cultural centre, Madrid is a great place to reach localised and domestic audiences alongside viewers from diverse demographics. There are a range of options, from unmissable full-height billboards in the heart of fashionable retail districts to immersive digital displays.
Brands also incorporate Madrid advertising campaigns within their promotions to reach specific and targeted audience segments, using outdoor displays in visitor attractions and high-footfall locations such as the Plaza Mayor square, the iconic street of Gran Vía and the bustling Puerta del Sol landmark.
Why Advertise in Madrid?
Part of Madrid’s appeal as an advertising hotspot is the density of residents and the millions of tourists who travel to the city from across Europe and further afield every year. The number of well-known landmarks and focal points makes it easy to select visible display locations that will be exposed to the largest number of viewers possible.
Other aspects of designing Madrid advertising campaigns include the interest and appetite for creativity and innovation, where audiences are often receptive to engaging and exciting promotions, especially those broadcast on digital screens that are reactive to real-time data.
The busy public transport systems provide further opportunities to capture impressions, using taxis, trains, and buses to capitalise on long waiting times and queues during peak travel periods. The metro network has recently been updated to include large-format LED and full-screen billboards.

Frequently Asked Questions.
-
Yes – One Day is a full-service advertising and marketing agency, and while many brands are keen to use outdoor advertising spaces through our media buying and planning teams, we can also devise cross-channel and multi-medium campaigns to deliver on your objectives.
Each brand is unique, and the best campaigns are always based on your goals, key consumer persona, current market share and brand recognition aspirations, using this information to inform the foundations and structure of the campaign placements for your business.
-
Madrid is often regarded as one of the top strategic advertising locations in Europe since the size and appeal of the city mean brands can use one or several advertising panels to reach enormous audiences from around the planet.
A continual and quantifiable influx of international visitors allows brands to use campaign resources wisely while optimising impressions and reactions.
For example, a place-based advertising campaign might align your promotions with areas and transport connections most used by wealthier audiences, whereas a general advertising campaign might be positioned in a location with the highest number of visitors.
