Creative Advertising Opportunities in Glasgow and Across North West Scotland

Glasgow is the highest-populated city in Scotland, with a 1.6 million-strong population. It attracts families, students, professionals, and visitors from the broader UK and internationally.

The vibrant city centre, thriving economy, and rich history rooted in engineering, distilling, publishing, shipbuilding, and printing contribute to a modern, eclectic atmosphere that is perfect for brands to advertise to diverse audiences.

Why Advertise in Glasgow?

Glasgow is a unique city with stunning historical architecture, countless bars and eateries throughout Finnieston, no less than three local universities, and attractions and landmarks that entice visitors from elsewhere in Scotland and further afield.

The city is also popular with tourists beginning an outdoor tour of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park.

From the old quarter to the central nightlife district, the Style Mile packed with boutiques and well-known stores, Merchant City, Argyle Street, and the Merchant Square Craft Market, there are ample opportunities for brands to leverage high-profile out-of-home advertising placements with a large and multicultural audience.

Alongside a growing population, Glasgow welcomes 3.6 million global travellers and 26.4 million UK visitors a year, injecting £2.4 billion into the local economy. This creates a prime space for local, national, and multinational brands to deliver messaging to viewers and cement their status in a less competitive advertising space than in many other cities.

Billboards and transport promotions reach up to 93% of adults travelling around the city, with an extensive network featuring over 1,400 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 used or visited in the city.

Frequently Asked Questions.

  • Many brands overlook Glasgow without recognising the remarkable opportunity to advertise within the most-populated city in Scotland, and one that welcomes millions of UK-wide and international visitors every year, with more effective advertising due to the less densely crowded street architecture used for promotional purposes.

    The student population reaches 70,000 across the University of Glasgow, University of Strathclyde, and Glasgow Caledonian University, adding to the 1.6 million local residents and 26.4 million UK-based visitors every year.

  • Each brand may have different target audiences, objectives, time frames and budgets, and the best approach to designing a successful Glasgow campaign is to speak with the experienced media planning team at One Day to formulate a tailored strategy. 

    Ads such as billboards and high-profile transport placements often generate excellent impressions. In contrast, targeted placements around shopping areas and business districts can be customised to the viewers you’d most like to reach.
