Billboards Trends

Seeking to maintain relevance, traditional marketing tools like billboards are turning to more abstract and engaging techniques for consumer allure. Incorporating installations, immersive visuals and live-action elements into their marketing techniques, billboards are going beyond traditional print strategies to reinvent how large-scale campaigns are perceived.

Seamless Engagement
Pop-ups that require minimal time to engage consumers are gaining traction
Trend - Brands are creating passive pop-ups, such as billboards or signposts, that beget consumers to engage with only a brief action. These are more engaging than regular billboards while not requiring much time from consumers. Additionally, brands do not need to staff these pop-ups, thus reducing costs.

Insight - The average person living in a major city faces hundreds of advertisements a day. To this extent, most simply filter out regular ads, leading to brands not leaving a lasting impression. While some brands try to launch full-scale pop-up events that invite consumers to explore a detailed activation, not all consumers have spare time for such activities, leading to brands finding a middle ground for pop-ups that beget enough interaction to leave an impression, but do not intrude on daily schedules.
Workshop Question - How could your brand benefit from passive engagement opportunities to enhance its marketing strategies?
