I Love MCR is one of the most powerful billboard campaigns of all time…

Why advertise out-of-home with us?

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.
