Why billboard advertising matters.
Billboard advertising isn’t just a case of inserting your creative into select billboards on the roadside or high footfall areas. An effective billboard campaign allows you to leverage the power of physical, real-world spaces to connect with your target audience. Your billboard strategy can be a key touchpoint in a wider cross-channel out-of-home advertising campaign.
It's a dynamic, digital field that includes everything from bus stop ads and wall mural advertising to 3D Billboards in prominent locations or digital billboards in Piccadilly Circus or Times Square. Speak to the experts.
Leading-edge billboard advertising planning.
We are more than just a media planning and buying billboard advertising agency. We use research and technology, such as our media planning software, to make the best placement decisions for your brand objective.
We work with some of the largest and smallest brands in the World covering all Billboard Advertising formats listed below.
Billboard Advertising Formats
96-Sheets & D96-Sheets (Digital)
High-impact. That’s what best describes this popular out of home format making it one of the most popular of all large billboard advertising formats.
And typically these large billboards are located in prime locations such as motorway overhead, bridges, key traffic spots, key touristic attractions, important landmarks and more.
48-Sheets & D48-Sheets (Digital)
The 48-Sheet sized advertising billboards are the most popular and, of course, classic. This format has the mixed benefit of impact and location, and today there are many possibilities to really get creative including 3D builds! Spread across the entire nation, these can be bought in bulk or in single units fitting all brands marketing needs.
6-Sheets & D6-Sheets (Digital)
6-Sheets are the absolute workhorse of outdoor advertising simply because they are the most prevalent format across the country. Tactically or not, you’ll find a 6-Sheet almost near any location, city, hub, retail park, hospital… basically almost anywhere.
Bus Stops / Bus Shelters
Bus stop advertising is a great ad network for all types of brands and businesses to reach millions of people daily out of home (OOH), and they come in two formats: the AdShel 6-Sheet and digital 6-Sheet also called AdShell Live.
Reaching towns and cities, regionally or locally, bus shelter advertising provides you with a vast array of options to meet your marketing goals & budgets.
Iconic Billboards (Locations)
Spread across the UK, you can find key iconic sites and billboards such as Picallidy Circus or Axis Tower in Manchester as seen in the picture. These dozens of icons are absolutely unmissable to millions given their location, size, tech (digital out of home) and buildings. If the aim is to build awareness and a trusted brand, you cannot go wrong with these sites.
StreetHubs
As the name suggests, these units contain useful connectivity services such as ultra-fast wifi, emergency and council services and more serving their local communities.
There are over 500 units available for advertising and due to their purpose, they are located in high pedestrian traffic locations with great sidewalk and road visibility due to their size. Like its peers 96 or 48-Sheets, these achieve high-impact and impressions.

“One of the oldest forms of advertising, poster or billboard advertising, is still king today amongst other media formats. Available in many options and covering a variety of audiences, it’s ideal for small brands for a more localised advertisement and big brands since it offers nationwide coverage.”

Frequently Asked Questions.
-
Yes both actively and passively. Almost 82% of viewers can recall a digital out-of-home ad they saw over a month ago (View source). It’s also widely reported that in the 1970, we only saw 500 to 1600 ads a day. In 2023, this figure is closer to 4,000 to 10,000 - a key component of this is billboard advertising. Don’t forget that, your customers only remember a fraction of this number as our brain screens out the majority, meaning your billboard creative is crucial for the success of your campaign.

Did you know that 49% of adult consumers notice billboard ads more than they did just one year ago? (View source). Effective billboard advertising isn't just static - it’s evolved to 3D digital ads and messages on digital displays - which have the potential to go viral with the right campaign.
The success of a billboard advertisement comes down to the unique capacity to seize the collective gaze of a wide-ranging audience with a compelling creative proposition. Positioned strategically in high-traffic locales, there are numerous benefits of billboard advertising:
Your brand is visible - Well-placed billboard ads expose your brand to your potential customers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Constant exposure means that consumers will see your billboard messages multiple times throughout their day.
Achieve both local and national reach - Brands often use billboards to engage with local communities, promoting events, products, or services in specific regions. This personalised approach can strengthen local customer relationships and allow for a data-based advertising strategy.
Creativity and innovation - Have you checked out our 3D billboard campaigns? Billboards offer a canvas for creative expression. Billboard advertising allows brands to make a statement through visually compelling and memorable campaigns that resonate with their target audience.
Secure a competitive advantage - By delivering your message in prime locations, you position your brand as an industry leader.
Encourage action - Whether you are looking to stimulate impulse purchases or want to use billboard ads as part of a cross-channel activation campaign, an effective billboard ad can elicit macro and micro responses, from QR code scanning and social media sharing to in-store purchases and online subscriptions.

Billboard advertising is no longer passive and solely for ‘brand awareness’. Technology allows for marketers to gain real insight by tracking and measuring the impact of billboard campaigns. This data-driven, GDPR-compliant approach helps big brands refine their strategies for maximum ROI. The success of the campaign can be measured using:
GPS and Geolocation: Billboards equipped with GPS technology can track the movement of mobile devices within their vicinity. This means advertisers can estimate the number of eyes on the billboard and gain insights into audience demographics, including their travel patterns and dwell times.
Bluetooth and Beacon Technology: Bluetooth beacons placed near billboards can interact with mobile devices equipped with Bluetooth capabilities. This is called proximity-based engagement. You may decide to send ads or messages to users' smartphones when their presence is detected.
QR Codes and NFC Tags: Including QR codes or NFC tags on billboards encourages users to interact with your billboard ads. Advertisers can track the number of scans or interactions, providing insights into engagement levels.
Audience Measurement Solutions: We work with analytics tools and platforms that combine various data sources, including traffic data, mobile device data, and demographic information, to provide comprehensive insights into billboard campaign performance.
Social Media Listening: Has your billboard gone viral? Monitoring social media mentions and trends related to billboard campaigns can provide qualitative insights into audience sentiment and engagement.
