Maximise Brand Awareness in Edinburgh with One Day

The historic Scottish capital has a population of around half a million people, which soars during high-footfall events and seasons, making it the second most-visited destination across the entire UK, after only London.

For this reason, Edinburgh is an ideal place to advertise. The city also benefits from the second-largest finance district and dual UNESCO World Heritage sites, with a student population of nearly 60,000 pupils at the local universities, creating a rich environment for brand engagement and promotional events.

Why Advertise in Edinburgh?

Edinburgh is a fantastic space for brand advertisement. It offers an eclectic combination of heritage and modern attractions, the notable University of Edinburgh, and highly recognisable destinations, from George Street, the hub of boutique shopping, to locations around Edinburgh Castle, the Palace of Holyroodhouse, and, of course, The Royal Mile.

While the city itself has a growing population, the tourism centre attracts over four million visitors a year, who spend around £2.9 billion in the local economy—much of which is spent on services, goods, and brands that are tailored to the Scottish market or appeal to the 19.2 UK residents and business travellers who visit the city per annum.

Brands targeting younger adults and families engage with as many as 74% of the local audience weekly, whereas 60% of all residents and visitors will see an outdoor, transport or billboard ad during their day-to-day activities.
