billboard advertising

Highway sign marketing

Billboard advertising is the use of large outdoor signs, typically along highways and in urban areas, to promote products, services, or messages.

The format relies on brief, eye-catching content designed for viewers passing at speed: Billboard advertising works best with simple visuals and few words.

Also called outdoor advertising.
