Building Automotive Brands at Scale

Automotive is a high-consideration purchase category. Buyers research models, compare offers and evaluate dealerships long before booking a test drive. Effective car advertising plays a critical role throughout this journey, building brand awareness, influencing consideration and driving dealership footfall.

Out-of-home advertising plays a critical role across the automotive decision journey by:

  • Building brand fame and model awareness at scale

  • Influencing consideration during active research phases

  • Driving dealership footfall and test-drive intent

  • Supporting local car dealership advertising and regional dealer group campaigns

From national car advertising campaigns to local dealer activations, we operate as a trusted car advertising agency for automotive brands and dealer groups across the UK.

Supporting Awareness, Consideration & Dealer Demand

Automotive and car dealer advertising performs best when out-of-home media is aligned to buyer intent, location and stage of the purchase journey.

Awareness:
High-impact roadside, large-format and digital OOH builds fame and salience for new models, EV ranges and brand repositioning.

Consideration:
Commuter hubs, retail parks and urban digital screens reinforce features, finance offers and key differentiators during active research windows.

Demand:
Dealer-focused formats near showrooms, retail parks and key road networks are especially effective for car dealership advertising. These placements help convert consideration into action by driving test drive bookings, showroom visits and promotional response at a local level.

By combining nationwide reach with hyper-local precision, we help automotive brands move buyers from interest to action.

Key OOH Formats Used by Automotive Brands

Roadside & Arterial Routes

Roadside automotive advertising reaching drivers on major arterial routes

Roadside and arterial route advertising is one of the most effective out-of-home formats for automotive brands targeting drivers at scale. Large-format billboards and digital roadside screens deliver consistent exposure during daily commutes, helping to build brand awareness, support vehicle launches and reinforce model messaging across high-traffic routes. This format is a cornerstone of large-scale car advertising campaigns designed to build long-term brand salience.

Transport & Commuter Environments

Transport and commuter environments allow automotive brands to reach in-market audiences during high-attention moments. Advertising across rail stations, underground networks and urban transport hubs places brand and model messaging in front of professionals and city drivers, supporting consideration for leasing, fleet, electric and finance-led propositions.

Retail Parks & Dealership Proximity
