formats
Browse the list below to view the wide range of bus advertising formats we have available, as well as quick links to the production specs.
mega rear
Advertising on the entire back of either a double or single-decker bus is the perfect large format solution when targeting in-car audiences. The double-decker canvas is more than 6x the size of a Roadside 6 sheet, meaning it can always be seen. The format has a great presence in cities and town centres, and is known to be highly memorable.
mega t-side
These provide a much larger creative canvas than the standard T-side, especially in landscape. The format is available at 11 key city centre dominations, offering single advertiser ownership with 100% share of voice.
rear
Bus rears offer advertisers coverage with low CPT levels at scale. With a local presence on a national level, this format delivers messaging to areas where no other outdoor formats often exist.
routemaster
Iconic Routemaster buses spend 70% of their time in Central London, ensuring high levels of coverage for your campaign.
Routemasters are a blank canvas for brands, and can be wrapped and enhanced with special paint finishes, lenticulars or LED lights – going the extra mile to deliver a standout campaign to a concentrated Central London audience.
streetliner
Streetliners are only available on single-decker buses and typically operate in the peripheries of London. They can deliver local messaging on high frequency regional routes with low CPT entry levels, making Streeliners an ideal format for balanced national coverage, especially where an urban & suburban combination is required.
superside
This format is pavement-facing and is positioned high up on the bus for optimum visibility. Supersides provide competitive levels of rare broadcast coverage and are ideal for retail environments. Making 95% pedestrian impacts on high streets across the UK, superside ads deliver prompts to purchase in the right place, and the right time.
t-side
T-Sides are commanding and give brands optimum visibility – always seen above environmental clutter. They offer very high levels of broadcast cover, with a balanced audience split of 45% vehicular VS 55% pedestrian delivery.
wrapped bus
Wrapping buses is an unmissable format for both brand and product launches. Ideal for standing out from the crowd, whether driving colour signature, brand fame and encouraging social engagement.
From London to local towns, this arresting format is available to advertisers. In the capital, these iconic canvases spend over 70% of their time driving around iconic central locations. We also have a number of buses available with a partial sequential message animation on pavement side. Advertisers can tailor their audience targeting on the move with content that’s displayed at specific times, or with GEO fencing.
