The community-driven city brand
I Love MCR is one of the most powerful regional billboard campaigns of all time…
Out-of-home advertising is very important to us. After unprecendented brand awareness, advertising on Manchester billboards is the main reason why the I Love MCR campaign resonated so rapidly with so many residents and visitors in the city – and why the powerful Manchester sign has become a household name.
Our ubiquitous relationship with Manchester is so overwhelmingly positive that we decided to invest in out of home media to facilitate all outdoor advertising needs for good and make regional outdoor media affordable for our clients and charity partners. In addition to facilitating the best price for digital billboards across Manchester, unlike any other provider, we offer additional digital marketing support as added value all part of the package.
You can’t miss it and, more importantly, it sticks.
We know Manchester. And, thanks to our out-of-home media partners, we’ve handpicked locations at the top of the digital outdoor and out-of-home market.
Each digital billboard screen has its own individual personality – its own audience and unique delivery of not only a creative canvas but integrated technology to go with it.
So whether it’s a roadside billboard or an indoor digital noticeboard screen you want, we can facilitate it.
