PARTIAL SIDE ADS WITH ADSPOSURE

Your brand. At eye level. Bus after bus.

Bus banners are wide, short side ads in King, Queen and Kong sizes. They put your key message at eye level and work well across several buses at once.

WHY IT MATTERS

A focused panel. A message people see again.

A bus banner is a wide, short ad on the side of the bus. It fits one clear message and works best across several buses. People see it on the sidewalk, from the next lane and at the stop. Each sighting adds to the last.

iconThree families to choose from

King, Queen and Kong banners give you a range of side-panel sizes, with Extended versions where a market offers them.

iconBuilt for frequency

Banners complement wide-reaching campaigns, increasing frequency as messages repeat across buses.

iconEye-level position

The banner sits where people look at a passing bus, a good home for a name, an offer or a date.

YOUR BRAND. AT EYE LEVEL.

Wide. Short. Easy to read.

Banners suit short messages: a name, offer, date or web address. Their wide, short shape demands bold creative that's easy to understand from the sidewalk or next lane.

Plan Your Advertising
01The size

King, Queen and Kong families set the banner's width and height for the bus type in your market.

02The position

The banner sits at a height people see easily, from the curb or a passing car.

03The count

Run banners on several buses so neighbors see your message repeatedly.

PRIME VISIBILITY

How banners keep your brand in front of the market.

Banners are about repetition. One banner is a good start, and a set across a flight gives your message many more chances to be seen.

More than one sighting

Several buses carrying your banner means a neighbor who sees it once is likely to see it again that week.

Always on the street

The banner stays on the street through the flight, in daylight and at dusk.

A clear role in the plan

Use banners to extend a wrap or a shelter campaign, so your core idea keeps appearing in more places.
