The Digital Advantage

While billboards are the oldest form of advertising, they are also a medium that continues to advance as the industry grows and changes.

One example of this is digital billboards. Introduced in the mid-2000s, this innovation in billboard technology has allowed out of home advertising to remain relevant in the new digital age. It also allows billboard users various new ways to utilize the media that traditional static billboards can’t. Cutting-edge technology encourages custom creative executions building a unique campaign and advertising experience for advertisers and and spectators alike.

BRIGHT

With traditional billboards, over time materials can impair as they are exposed to the sun and other weather elements. The  LED display of a digital billboard is bright, brilliant, eye-catching. Plus an LED bulb lasts 100,000 hours or more, which translates to about 11 years.

EYE-CATCHING

Although you are sharing the screen with other advertisers on a digital board, the constant changing of the ads draws drivers’ eyes to the motion and color, so your ad is seen and absorbed more effectively than if it were on a static billboard in the same spot.

UNIQUE

With no production costs and quick upload times, digital is a way to have a unique, ever-changing message for your brand. The technology also allows for interesting design executions, like countdowns, scoreboards, fundraising, and more. Learn more and see examples on our digital product page.
