Digital OOH Advertising in China

We plan digital OOH across Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou in China. A screen can carry a different advert in the morning and the evening, which is the point of buying digital rather than a printed face. We confirm the loop before anything goes live. The loop length is agreed before the first day. Tell us the dates and the budget, and we will send a site list within 48 hours.

Digital Out of HomeAdvertising Formats in China

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

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

  • Digital billboard advertising: a curved red Vodafone screen wraps a city building and reads Now with double the network coverage, above traffic at dusk.

    Digital Billboards

    Digital billboards on the busiest corridors of Shanghai and Beijing allow China campaigns to daypart creative, rotate share of voice and update messaging in-flight.

    Digital billboard advertising in China suits a brand that needs a serious roadside site and more than one message. Dayparts, offers and flight dates can all run on the same screen, with share of voice agreed before it goes live.

  • Digital out-of-home advertising in a mall atrium: a cube screen shows a perfume bottle bursting through a circular frame.

    3D Anamorphic Screens

    Landmark 3D anamorphic screens on China's premium corridors turn a launch into a shareable moment. Sites around Shanghai and Beijing carry the most talked-about creative in the market.

    3D anamorphic screen advertising in China is a launch format. The creative is built for that wall, and the site is scarce enough that a well-timed booking becomes the picture people send on from the pavement.

  • Programmatic screen advertising: JCDecaux column screens in a concourse show a purple banana advert in Norwegian, a hand pointing at the fruit, beside shops and a departures board.

    Programmatic Screens

    Programmatic digital inventory across China spans airport, roadside and retail networks. Buys are planned by audience, location and moment, with live delivery reporting throughout the campaign.

    Programmatic screen advertising in China puts digital out-of-home on the same plan as the rest of a digital buy: audience, place and time, with delivery you can read while the campaign is live.

  • Mall digital screen advertising: a hanging screen beside a Matalan sign shows four portraits for Preston College, with the line Enrolling now and preston.ac.uk.

    Mall Digital Screens

    Mall digital LED networks across Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou put creative in front of China shoppers at every stage of the visit, from entrance to atrium to food court.

    Mall digital screen advertising in China follows the shopping trip, from the door to the atrium to the food court. Dayparts let a morning message give way to an evening one on the same loop.

  • Atrium screen advertising: a tall pink screen in a departures hall shows Emporio Armani Power of You, the new fragrance, beside a hanging Domestic Departures sign.

    Atrium Screens

    Large-format atrium screens in Shanghai and Beijing's flagship malls give China launches uninterrupted sightlines and long dwell time in the busiest retail environments.

    Atrium screen advertising in China uses dwell. Shoppers look up, sit and walk the same space, so a large screen in the volume of the mall is seen for longer than a corridor panel.

  • Digital underground advertising: a row of eufy by Anker screens lines the wall beside an escalator.

    Escalator Screens

    Stacked escalator LED panels in China's premium malls put shoppers inside the creative, with the full ride to read and remember.

    Escalator screen advertising in China has a closed sightline. The ride is long enough for a product story, so the format can carry detail as well as a brand mark.

  • Digital entrance advertising: two men in white thobes walk past Lexus RX screens at a glass door.

    Entrance Screens

    Digital entrance screens at the front door of China's major malls carry the first-impression message for launches and seasonal campaigns.

    Entrance screen advertising in China takes the first impression of the visit. It suits seasonal launches and any message that needs to be in place before the shopper is inside.

  • Airport advertising at baggage reclaim: Louis Vuitton column adverts stand by belts numbered 14 and 13.

    Baggage Reclaim Screens

    Baggage reclaim screens at China's major airports reach people who are standing at the belt. Travel, hospitality and premium brands use that wait.

    Baggage reclaim screen advertising in China reaches people who are standing still. Inbound dwell at the belt is one of the longer captive moments in a journey, which is why travel, hospitality and premium brands use it.

  • In-flight advertising: a cabin screen shows a Lays Developers skyline advert beside a drink and snacks.

    In-Flight Advertising

    In-flight seatback and cabin media on flights serving China deliver a rare, uninterrupted moment with a captive premium audience.

    In-flight advertising in China holds a premium audience for the length of the flight. Seatback and cabin media give luxury, finance and destination brands time to tell a story, not just show a mark.

  • Airport advertising at arrivals: a Marriott Bonvoy screen hangs above the Terminal 1 immigration gates.

    Immigration Screens

    Immigration hall digital panels across China's major airports reach inbound audiences at the calmest, most engaged point of the arrival journey.

    Immigration screen advertising in China meets arrivals when the hall is calm and the audience is reading. It suits destination, finance and premium messages that need a moment of attention.
