What makes Out-of-Home advertising effective in London?

Launching an Out-of-Home advertising campaign in London enables brands to be exposed to the city's diverse, wide range of audiences on a massive scale. This is easily achieved by launching Out-of-Home campaigns in London's busiest hotspots, such as its world-class shopping destinations, as well as its many transport hubs - including train stations and airports; it's no coincidence that Londoners are 56% more likely to say that transport and connectivity make their city feel special.

Amongst all the hustle and bustle, audiences in London are 90% more likely to see Out-of-Home advertising more than once a day compared to the average UK adult. This means that, by launching an effective Out-of-Home campaign in London, brand messaging is seen by audiences much more consistently and is more likely to stay front-of-mind when consumers next make a relevant purchase.

Thanks to this repeated exposure, London's audiences are also 44% more likely to trust OOH advertising campaigns - meaning the brands that launch them become more trusted as well.
