Billboard advertising
in South Africa.
Static sites on the N1, N3, M1 and every metro arterial. We check availability, book the site and send you dated photos of it live, at the media owner’s own rate.
A month of undivided attention on the road your customers already drive.
Static buys you the whole site for the month; digital buys a share of a rotating loop for less. Which one wins depends entirely on the road.

- How Pricing Works
Why every site is priced
on its own.
Outdoor is priced per site, and no two sites are the same. The traffic that passes it, its size, whether it’s lit and whether it’s a static site or a share of a digital loop all move the number. That’s why availability and rates are always quoted, never listed.
That’s why we quote rather than publish. Send the brief and you’ll have real numbers, from every option worth considering, within one working day.
01
Traffic & location
The more vehicles pass it, and the wealthier the area, the higher the rate.
02
Size
A superboard costs many times a standard roadside board.
03
Illumination
A lit site works after dark, it carries a premium.
04
Static vs digital
Static gives you the whole site; digital gives you a share of a loop for less.
05
Contract length
Longer bookings bring the monthly rate down.

- Billboard Advertising FAQ
Straight answers.
How much does a billboard cost in South Africa?
It depends on the site, its traffic, size, whether it’s lit, and whether it’s static or digital. Digital loops start lower than owning a static site. Send us the area and budget and we’ll come back with available sites and rates within one working day.
What’s the difference between static and digital billboards?
A static billboard is yours alone for the booking period. A digital billboard rotates several advertisers on a loop, so you pay less and can change your creative daily, but you share the screen.
What’s the minimum booking period?
Static sites are usually booked by the month. Digital can be shorter because the loop changes constantly.
Do you handle printing and installation?
Yes. For static sites we can manage large-format printing and the installation slot with the site owner.
How far in advance should I book?
Lead times depend on the media type:
Newspapers: 2–3 working days
Radio & TV: Up to 5 working days
Outdoor static sites: 5–7 working days
Digital outdoor: ±24 hours
Digital / online campaigns: Same day, depending on availability
