Outdoor advertising is one of the most versatile and diverse media. The way to capture a concept will be very different depending on the channel used. We can differentiate between conventional advertising and high-impact special formats:
– Billboards. The most common media, due to its efficient performance in terms of traffic and visibility. Can be used in combination with 3D signs, digital screens, etc.
– Neon signs. Display a brand logo, and sometimes include images.
– Mupis, lighted street advertising, bus shelter advertising. Typical of cities, they address to pedestrians and drivers. Usually have two different, unrelated sides.
– Transport advertising. Advertising on buses, taxis, or undergrounds. The outer space of these vehicles is used to display advertising or information.
– Video screens. Installed in commercial centers, malls, stadiums, etc.
– Wallscapes. Generally they cover some type of refurbishing or transformation, and therefore their design and location depends on the building particulars.
– Signage. Frequently used in strategic city spots.
– Walls. Permanent advertising printed on building façades on roads or close to cities.
