Why stay inside the frame?

Take your street pole ads beyond the ordinary with innovation add-ons

Your advertising format is the starting point. What you do with it is where things get interesting.

Adreach Innovation Add-ons transform selected Standard Street Pole Ads, Icon Boards and Supalites into bespoke creative executions using shape, depth, dimension and light.

Make a product break beyond the frame with a die-cut. Bring key elements forward with an extrusion. Turn a flat image into a physical object with a 3D mould. Or use LED lighting to make selected parts of your creative stand out.

Available exclusively in Johannesburg and Pretoria, Innovation Add-ons give brands more freedom to turn an established outdoor advertising format into something audiences don’t expect to see.

How pricing works

Quoted on a job-by-job basis

An Adreach Innovation campaign is built in layers. 

01 - Choose your advertising format:

Start with a Standard Street Pole Ad (R2,250–R4,950 per run, per month), Icon Board (R7,500 per month) or Supalite (R46,500 per run, per month). Your selected format determines the recurring monthly site placement cost.

02 - Produce your campaign artwork:

Your selected advertising format requires artwork to be printed, prepared and installed. This carries a once-off production fee specific to the format you choose.

03 - Add your Innovation:

Enhance the campaign with a die-cut, extrusion, or 3D mould. Your chosen Innovation Add-on carries an additional once-off production fee based on the type, size and complexity of the execution.

How it works: Start with the canvas

Choose your ad.
Then challenge its boundaries.

Innovation Add-ons aren’t standalone advertising formats. They are creative enhancements added to an existing Adreach advertising campaign.

Start by choosing the advertising format that suits your reach, location and budget. Then consider how Innovation can transform the creative itself. These add-ons can be applied to the following street pole advertising formats:

Standard Street Pole Ads

Add Innovation to selected Standard Street Pole Ads to combine the format with a more distinctive creative execution.

Icon Boards

Icon Boards already provide a prominent advertising presence. Allow selected elements to extend, project or illuminate beyond the artwork.

Supalites

Supalites combine scale with illumination and prominent roadside positioning. Add Innovation to make even more of the format.

Choose your add-on

Three ways to break out of the ordinary

Innovation isn’t about adding something unusual simply because you can. The right enhancement should make the campaign idea stronger. Choose the technique that best supports what you want people to notice, understand or remember.

Die-Cuts

Die-cuts allow selected elements of your artwork to extend outside the conventional advertising frame, changing the physical silhouette of the advertisement itself. A bottle can burst through the top. A character can reach beyond the edge. A product can become recognisable from its shape before someone has even read the headline.

Add-on Benefits

3D Moulds

A 3D mould takes dimensional advertising further by transforming selected creative elements into custom three-dimensional physical forms. Instead of displaying a photograph of the product, the product itself can inspire the shape and structure of the execution.

Add-on Benefits

Extrusions

Some things deserve more than a flat image. Extrusions add physical depth to selected elements of your creative, allowing a product, feature or visual element to project forward from the advertising surface. Instead of only showing audiences what matters, you can physically make it stand out.

Add-on Benefits

Why innovate?

Make more of the media you're already buying

Innovation Add-ons allow you to take an established Adreach advertising format and make selected executions work differently. Rather than changing the media plan entirely, you can use creative enhancements to introduce additional standout where it matters most.

Break the visual pattern

Give audiences something different to notice within a familiar roadside environment.

Make the product the hero

Use shape, depth or illumination to draw attention towards the most recognisable part of your campaign.

Turn the medium into the message

Let the frame, physical structure, depth or lighting contribute directly to the advertising idea.

Build on your existing media plan

Innovation enhances your Standard Street Pole, Icon Board or Supalite campaign rather than replacing the underlying advertising format.

Innovation add-on ideas for your industry

Create an idea then bringing to life

Innovation Add-ons aren’t restricted to particular industries. What matters is whether your product, packaging, brand asset or campaign idea presents an opportunity to do something physically interesting.

FMCG

Turn bottles, packaging, food and recognisable product assets into physical roadside creative.

Retail

Give major launches, promotions and seasonal campaigns an additional reason to get noticed.

Automotive

Use vehicle shapes, lighting and distinctive product features as part of the physical execution.

Food and restaurants

Let recognisable food, packaging and products physically break beyond the frame.

Entertainment

Bring characters, events, films and entertainment properties out of the frame and into the streetscape.

Telecommunications and technology

Use dimension and illumination to bring devices, features and new launches into the physical environment.

Property

Create standout campaign moments for major developments and launches.

Events

Turn the advertising itself into part of the anticipation surrounding the event.

FAQs

Everything you need to know about Innovation Add-ons

Innovation campaigns are more bespoke than standard outdoor advertising, so the process naturally raises different questions. Here are the essentials before you start thinking outside the frame.

What are Adreach Innovation Add-ons?

Innovation Add-ons are creative enhancements applied to existing Adreach outdoor advertising formats. They include die-cuts, extrusions, 3D moulds and LED lighting.

No. Innovation is added to an eligible Standard Street Pole Ad, Icon Board or Supalite campaign.

Innovation Add-ons are currently available only in Johannesburg and Pretoria.

Innovation can be added to selected Standard Street Pole Ads, Icon Boards and Supalites, subject to the suitability of the site, format and proposed execution.

A die-cut changes or extends the silhouette of the advertising creative beyond its conventional frame, while an extrusion adds physical depth by bringing selected elements forward from the advertising surface.

An extrusion adds depth to an element of the artwork. A 3D mould creates a more fully dimensional physical form inspired by a product, object or campaign element.

Yes. LED lighting can be incorporated into suitable Innovation executions to highlight specific elements or make illumination part of the campaign idea.

Potentially. A campaign might, for example, combine a dimensional element with LED lighting. The proposed execution would first need to be assessed for technical feasibility, site suitability and approval.

There is no standard price because every execution is custom. The Innovation production cost is quoted in addition to the underlying advertising format and will depend on factors such as size, materials, complexity and installation requirements.

We recommend three months or longer to provide sustained exposure and make greater use of the investment involved in producing a custom execution.

Yes. Bring us the concept early. Our team can help explore which Innovation technique and underlying advertising format could translate the idea most effectively into the outdoor environment.
