Understanding the format

What is street-pole advertising?

Street pole advertising uses advertising panels mounted on municipal-approved street poles in highly visible public locations.

These advertisements are positioned along roads, intersections, shopping districts, business hubs, and residential routes where they can be seen repeatedly by motorists, passengers, pedestrians, and local communities.

Unlike many forms of advertising that rely on consumers actively searching for information, street pole advertising places your message directly into everyday environments where audiences naturally spend their time.

The total cost depends on your selected Street Pole format, road grade, location, number of sites and campaign duration. You should budget for the recurring monthly advertising fee plus a separate once-off artwork production cost.

No. Monthly media rental and artwork production are separate costs. Your media fee covers the advertising sites, while printing and production are charged separately as a once-off cost for the applicable artwork.

The minimum campaign duration in certain locations are one month, subject to product requirements. For campaigns focused on sustained awareness and repeated exposure, we recommend three months or longer.
