Megacom Advertising in South Africa

We plan megacom sites across Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban in South Africa. A megacom stands on its own beside the road and is larger than a standard billboard, so the creative has to work from a distance. We only propose one when the artwork can hold that size. Distance and dwell are both written on the proposal we send. Tell us the dates and the budget, and we will send a site list within 48 hours.
