Advertise in Dubai with One Day Agency
Launch Highly visible Billboard Campaigns in the Heart of Dubai
Dubai, the largest of the Emirates, has long been considered the consumer capital of the UAE. It is an affluent, high-visitor destination that epitomises quality brands, luxury retail, and traveller experiences like no other—alongside a vibrant and multinational visitor and tourism demographic.
Dubai Billboards, a mainstay of out-of-home advertising placements, remain a familiar and standout aspect of the city skyline. Backlit billboards and digital screens are also visible from multiple angles 24 hours a day and continuously capture impressions.
Therein lies the secret to why billboard advertising remains in huge demand throughout Dubai – its vast and diverse audience, major roadways and retail centres, and iconic hyper-modern buildings that form part of the famous silhouette provide superb exposure.
Why Advertise on Dubai Billboards?
The big benefit of Dubai billboard advertising, often combined with digital and targeted media campaigns, is that standout huge-scope graphics generate impressions on a scale that is impossible to replicate, especially when ads are showcased on enormous billboards that dominate audience attention in high-visitor areas.
Positioning your brand, service or promotions amongst the busiest neighbourhoods of Dubai, such as around Dubai International Airport, on screens erected over the Sheikh Zayed Road, or around the huge malls, such as the Dubai Mall, generate almost limitless engagements with a minimal cost per impression.
Although more targeted advertising may be necessary to ensure your campaigns reach niche audiences, a public billboard attracts attention from diverse viewers, including expatriates, professionals, wealthy investors, international travellers, and tourists, all within one advertising placement.

Dubai Billboard Advertising: Key Formats
-
![Unipole Dubai Advertising]()
Unipole Dubai Advertising
As the name suggests, Unipoles are large, static, classic billboard formats erected on high-level poles or masts along roadsides. Many are positioned within pedestrianised areas, outside entertainment and leisure complexes, and along major transit routes and arteries that motorists and public transport providers use to enter the city.
The scale and size of standout billboards offer a strategic advantage, with exposure to potentially tens of thousands of commuters, visitors, drivers, and passengers. The profile of a Unipole billboard means it is clear even at a distance, with options to add illuminating lighting for 24/7 visibility.

Digital and LED Billboards in Dubai
LED-backlit and digital screens are a prominent aspect of brand advertising. They are often found in indoor settings, from conference centres and cinemas to shopping malls, leisure complexes, and trade fairs, alongside those erected along high-use rail networks and stations.
Video-based and moving advertising delivers attention-grabbing visuals while incorporating data such as the weather, viewer interactions, time of day, and passersby, which can ensure you augment the context and relevance of every display based on its location.

Dubai Bridge Banner Marketing
Dubai’s traffic may be well-known, but brands can use congestion and commuting times to their advantage. Attention-grabbing bridge banners are erected around smaller roads and connections that head into the busiest commercial districts of Dubai and on bridges and walkways overhead some of the most-used motorways and roads.
Roadway and bridge banner marketing in Dubai is an ever-present feature around routes such as the Al Ittihad Road, the Emirates Road, and the Sheik Zayed Road, to name but a few, all of which connect landmarks, destinations, and tourist venues.

Frequently Asked Questions.
-
The ideal marketing mix, placements, creatives, and positioning will always depend on your brand, the nature and style of the products or services you wish to promote, the audiences and demographics you'd most like to engage with, and where your brand stands to make significant gains in terms of market share, recognition or familiarity.
That said, Dubai stands out as the destination of choice for countless brands, with an influx of over 25,000 professionals and families relocating every year, 19 million visitors annually, and the connection routes that mean many travelling to other parts of the UAE naturally pass through Dubai.
-
Static billboards, LED promotional displays, and more advanced digital screens are found throughout Dubai and other major cities in the UAE, including Abu Dhabi, meaning there are few limitations. However, brands must be respectful of cultural and social norms and how specific imagery or messaging may need to be adjusted to resonate with the intended audience.
There are regulations and rules that manage the use of Dubai outdoor advertising placements, which the One Day team can, of course, advise on. However, you'll see billboards around some of the city's most familiar and iconic landmarks, including Dolphin Bay and the Burj Khalifa.
-
Like most locations, the advertising authorities and Dubai Municipality require businesses to obtain a permit that verifies that their advertising has been approved.
Although there are restrictions around the promotion of specific products, the vast majority of commercial brands find the regulations streamlined, well-managed, and simple to comply with.
