Advertise Across the Netherlands' Busiest Metro Networks

Metro advertising in the Netherlands runs through just two cities, Amsterdam and Rotterdam. Amsterdam's GVB network spans four lines across 42.5km, moving around 1.4 million passengers a week.

Metro Advertising inNetherlands with OOH Global

Metro advertising in the Netherlands is concentrated around Amsterdam and Rotterdam, with each network offering different station environments, digital inventory and passenger flows. Planning starts with understanding which stations and parts of the network align with the audience you want to reach.

We build the campaign around these factors, selecting suitable stations and formats before coordinating current availability, media bookings, creative specifications and campaign delivery. This gives brands a clear route from initial planning through to launch across the selected metro network.

Placements include platforms, waiting areas, station halls, passenger routes, large format station spaces and inside metro trains, across central stations, interchange points and wider metropolitan areas. Digital spots typically run around 10 seconds, depending on the selected digital network.

Why Advertise on the Metro in the Netherlands?

Reach Urban Commuters
Metro networks connect residential areas with business districts, shopping destinations, universities and major transport hubs, providing access to people making everyday journeys across Amsterdam and Rotterdam.
Build Repeated Exposure
Regular passengers often travel through the same stations and lines throughout the week, creating repeated opportunities for campaign messages to be seen.
Benefit from Passenger Dwell Time
Waiting on platforms and travelling between stations gives audiences time to notice and engage with advertising across screens, station displays and in metro placements.
Create High Impact Campaigns
Large digital screens and station domination formats give brands space for bold creative within busy metro environments, making them particularly useful for launches and major campaigns.
