Outdoor advertising

Unlike other forms of advertising, outdoor advertising doesn’t rely on your audience switching on or tuning in, so they can’t switch off or tune out. Put your brand on the high street and people WILL see it. The key to successful outdoor advertising therefore is to ensure your message cuts through the clutter and generates a response.

To make your outdoor advertising more effective, there are some basic rules you should always follow. Use powerful images to attract attention, keep copy very short and very sweet, and use contrasting colours so it’s easy to read. But there’s more to it than that - to maximise impact, your ads should be tailored to make the most of the site. If you have an ad on the London Underground your audience will probably have significant “dwell time”, which means you have the luxury of delivering more complex messages. But if your ad is roadside then you may have only a second or two to get your message through, so it needs to be very clear and simple. We understand the dynamics of different forms of outdoor media, and we can use our experience to help you make your outdoor advertising a success.

We’ll look after everything from concept and creative through to planning, media buying, print and implementation. We’ll also look after analysis of results, because that’s the important bit. Getting the results you want isn’t always about reaching as many people as possible, it could require some intelligent targeting. That may require a great deal of analysis, experience and insight. Or it may not - if you’re a sports betting company, the crowd inside a sports stadium is going to fit your target demographic very nicely.

Outdoor advertising is powerful because the public still has a very positive attitude to it - it’s not intrusive, and it can add colour and vibrancy to whatever environment it appears in. Many outdoor displays have moved with the times, offering digital imagery so advertisers no longer have to rely on passive messages.
