What we do / Paid Advertising

OOH Advertising

Billboards, transit and arenas your customers cannot scroll past

Billboards

Billboards on the routes your audience drives every day, chosen for traffic and visibility, with delivery verified after the campaign.

Arenas and stadiums

The same campaign put the brand on Saddledome LED boards across nine Calgary Flames home games and into a concourse activation in front of 16,375 fans.

Transit and street level

Bus benches, bus shelters and bus tails, placed where your exact customers travel every day.

Rural and highway corridors

Boards in smaller and rural communities, timed to the weeks that matter most, because out of home reaches people where digital is thin.

How OOH And Digital Work Together

Out of home rarely gets the last click, and measuring it as if it should misses the point. Its job is to make every other channel cheaper. The commuter who has passed your board for three weeks recognizes your name in the search results, stops on your social ad, opens your recruitment email. That is why we flight boards alongside digital campaigns in the same window and geography, running arena, billboard and search together. The recognition gets built on the highway and harvested online, and the wrap report reads both together.

Why Out Of Home Keeps Earning Its Place

Digital advertising gets more crowded, more skippable and more blocked every year, while a billboard on your customer’s daily route cannot be closed, muted or scrolled past. That permanence is why out of home pairs so well with digital rather than competing with it. The board builds the recognition, digital converts it, and the combination costs less than forcing either channel to do both jobs. Digital boards have added flexibility to the medium too. Creative can change by week or season without reprinting, which suits campaigns that build over a flight.

Formats, And When Each Fits

Large format highway boards buy reach and stature. Digital boards buy flexibility and share premium locations at a lower entry point. Transit, bus benches and shelters buy street level frequency in the exact neighbourhoods you choose, which is why a landscaping supplier runs benches where homeowners drive and a fiber company wraps bus tails in the towns it is building in. Arena and stadium placements buy a whole city’s attention in its happiest mood. The format follows the goal. Frequency for local services, reach for launches and recruitment, geography for expansion.

Creative Rules Of The Road

A driver gives your board about three seconds, so out of home creative is the most disciplined design we do. A handful of words, one image doing one job, contrast that survives sunlight and rain, and a brand mark big enough to be the takeaway. If the message needs a paragraph, it needs a landing page instead, and the board’s job is to make the name stick until the search happens. We design to those constraints from the start, which is also a fast test of whether a brand system is actually as strong as it looks on a screen.

Starting With CAYK

Tell us who you need to reach and where they drive. We will map the inventory worth considering, negotiate the placements that survive scrutiny, design creative built for the medium, and pair the flight with your digital so the investment compounds. After it runs, the verification lands in your report, not in a drawer.

Questions & Answers

Questions
& Answers

How do you measure a billboard?

Through verified delivery data against the booking, and through the lift in your measurable channels while the boards run. We report both, and we will never claim precision the medium cannot provide.

What does out of home cost?

It ranges widely by market and location, and every plan we present shows media costs and our fee separately.

How long should a campaign run?

Long enough for frequency to do its work, typically four week minimum flights, timed to your season or campaign.

Do we need to supply creative?

No. We design out of home in house, built for the three seconds a driver gives it. Few words, high contrast, legible at speed. If your current brand cannot survive those constraints, that is worth knowing too. See Branding & Creative.

How far ahead should we book?

Prime locations sell out, especially for seasonal windows. A conversation a couple of months ahead of your campaign protects your pick of inventory and your negotiating position.

Can a smaller business afford out of home?

Often yes. The format range is wide, from bus benches and transit panels to premium digital boards, and a well chosen small placement on the right route can outwork a prestigious one on the wrong route. The plan starts from your customer's daily drive, not from the most expensive inventory.

Static or digital boards?

Static buys permanence on one location, digital buys rotation on premium locations and creative flexibility. The right answer depends on budget, season and how often the message benefits from changing, and the plan will show the trade off in numbers rather than preference.

How do we know our campaign actually ran?

Delivery gets verified after the flight, with performance data and posting confirmations reported against every line of the buy. When a placement over delivers you will see it, and when one under delivers, the make good conversation is ours to have, not yours.

Can we see the locations before committing?

Yes. The plan shows each proposed location with its audience case, and nothing gets booked until you have approved the list. Driving past your own shortlisted boards is a step we encourage.

Can out of home target specific neighbourhoods?

Yes, that is one of its quiet strengths. Bus benches, shelters and transit routes can be chosen street by street, which is how a campaign puts a landscaping supplier in front of homeowners in exactly the districts that buy, and a fiber company into precisely the towns it is building in.

What about vehicle wraps?

A wrapped fleet is out of home you own outright, advertising on every delivery and every commute with no monthly media cost. We design wraps as part of the brand system, the way we designed a client's truck wrap so the fleet itself became the billboard.
