Billboard Advertising in China

We plan billboards across Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou in China. The faces that earn a place on the plan are unipoles with a long sight line, and hoardings where the traffic has to slow. Each site is priced on its own. We confirm the permit and the posting date before you are asked to commit. Tell us the dates and the budget, and we will send a site list within 48 hours.

Billboard AdvertisingFormats in China

China offers a range of billboards formats suited to different campaign objectives, locations and creative requirements.

Images below are for illustrative purposes only. They are not specific to one location.

  • Billboard advertising in Dubai, in the UAE: a single-pole board for California Residences by Infracorp stands before the skyline.

    Unipoles

    Unipoles are the anchor billboard format on China's arterial routes and highway approaches. Sites around Shanghai and Beijing carry the tallest, highest-visibility structures and are the format most brands lean on for always-on presence in the market.

    Unipole advertising in China is how a brand stays on an arterial through the working week. The same drivers pass it inbound and outbound, and that repeat is what turns a roadside site into recall.

  • Bridge banner advertising: a Komatsu and Williams Racing banner runs along a highway overpass above traffic.

    Bridge Banners

    Bridge banners around Shanghai and Beijing deliver head-on visibility to peak commuter traffic. In China, they anchor launches on the busiest gateway crossings and airport approach routes.

    Bridge banner advertising in China pays off on routes people already have to take. Gateway crossings and airport approaches put the creative in front of peak traffic, which is why launches use it to arrive with the city.

  • Hoarding advertising in the UAE: a long roadside Talabat board reads UAE's largest menu and Order from 18,000+ restaurants, with glass towers behind it.

    Hoardings

    Hoardings line construction perimeters, retail frontages and airport landside routes across Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou. Their pedestrian-scale proximity keeps China launches in view of both drivers and walkers at high frequency.

    Hoarding advertising in China rewards brands that want frequency at close range. Launches, retail openings and long site perimeters all benefit from a face people pass slowly, on foot and in traffic.

  • Building banner advertising: Samsung Galaxy S7 edge banners cover the glass facade of a tower above a busy pavement.

    Building Banners

    Building banners on commercial and retail facades in Shanghai and Beijing hold a neighbourhood for the length of the flight. In China they are booked when a launch needs scale, not just a roadside face.

    Building banner advertising in China ties a brand to a place. A mall frontage, a commercial block or an airport landside becomes the picture of the campaign for anyone arriving in that district.

  • Bridge banner advertising in London: a blue railway bridge painted with Camden Town spans a shopping street.

    Gantries

    Gantry sites span the full width of highways around Shanghai and Beijing, delivering head-on impact across every lane. A signature roadside format for premium showcase campaigns in China.

    Gantry advertising in China is the premium roadside buy for a highway launch. One face covers the peak flow, so the message lands with every commuter on that road.

  • Airport advertising at Singapore Changi Airport: travellers pass a wide Breitling banner above immigration.

    Static Billboards

    Static billboards on the busiest arterial routes across Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou carry the consistent, always-on presence a campaign in China is built around.

    Static billboard advertising in China is the dependable layer in a roadside plan. A known route, a single message, and enough weeks on display for the brand to stick with the people who drive it.

  • Backlit billboard advertising: a Marriott Marquis screen shows Harrison Ford for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, dated December 18, with an Invicta shop below.

    Backlit Posters

    Backlit posters on retail streets, transit stops and mall approaches across Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou keep creative crisp long after dark. A dependable format for evening-heavy environments in China.

    Backlit poster advertising in China is the night shift of a roadside or retail plan. When the audience is out after dark, the illuminated face keeps the brand present on the street.
