I Love MCR is one of the most powerful billboard campaigns of all time. Its 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…
Why advertise out-of-home with us?
Out-of-home advertising is very important to us. After the impact of unprecendented brand awareness, advertising on Manchester billboards is one of the major reasons the I Love MCR brand has resonated so rapidly with so many residents and visitors – and why the powerful Manchester symbol has become a household name.
You can’t miss it and, more importantly, it sticks. That’s why we made the easy decision to invest in out-of-home media further and make regional outdoor media affordable for our clients and charity partners. In addition to facilitating the best price for OOO, unlike any other provider, we offer additional digital support across our website and online patforms as part of the package.
Now in the digital age with access to digital billboard screens across Manchester, it’s easy and instantaneous to boost your brand awareness.
