Why Advertise in Glasgow?

Glasgow is a unique city with stunning historical architecture, countless bars and eateries throughout Finnieston, five local universities and attractions that draw visitors from across Scotland and further afield.

The city is also popular with tourists heading out to explore Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park.

From the old quarter to the central nightlife district, the Style Mile, Merchant City, Argyle Street and the Merchant Square Craft Market – Glasgow offers no shortage of high-footfall locations. Brands can leverage high-profile out-of-home advertising placements with a large and multicultural audience.

Glasgow's growing population is boosted by a thriving tourism sector. In 2024, over 4.7 million visitors stayed overnight in the city, with total visitor spend reaching £2.39 billion. This creates a prime space for local, national and multinational brands to deliver messaging to viewers and establish their presence in a less competitive advertising space than many other cities.

Billboards and transport promotions can reach up to 98% of the adult population every fortnight, with an extensive network featuring thousands of potential placements – whether you'd like to promote a product, offer or event to students, families, professionals or across the demographics.

Key placements include those close to Celtic Park, the Scottish National Stadium and Queen's Park Football Club, throughout the Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) subway and bus network, and locations such as the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, which are among the most visited in the city.

Why One Day?

One Day is a fully integrated specialist integrated agency providing brands with unique and high-footfall media placements and creative design assistance. We develop ambitious strategies and cross-channel marketing plans that capture attention, drive engagement and foster brand familiarity.
