Maximise Brand Awareness in Edinburgh with One Day
One Day Agency helps brands reach commuters, tourists and residents in Edinburgh through strategic outdoor advertising placements.
The historic Scottish capital has a population of over half a million people,which soars during high-footfall events and seasons, making it the second most-visited city across the entire UK, after only London.
Edinburgh is also home to the second-largest finance district in the UK, dual UNESCO World Heritage Sites and a combined university student population of over 80,000 –creating a rich environment for brand engagement and promotional events.
Why Advertise in Edinburgh?
Edinburgh is a fantastic city for brand advertising. 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 Edinburgh Castle, the Palace of Holyroodhouse and, of course, The Royal Mile.
Edinburgh and the Lothians welcomed over 5 million overnight visitors in 2024, who contributed around £2.6 billion to the local economy. Brands targeting younger adults and families can engage with as many as 74% of the local audience weekly, while 60% of all residents and visitors will see an outdoor, transport or billboard ad during their day-to-day activities.
Edinburgh Airport handled 15.8 million passengers in 2024, bringing a steady flow of international and domestic travellers into the city year-round.
