If nothing else, it shows the real power of Out of Home advertising.

Even as the oldest medium, outdoor advertising will never be outdated. It remains one of the most powerful forms of advertising used by companies worldwide – both large and small – to promote their brand and generate media coverage. Successful outdoor campaigns not only accomplish what regular signage does but will also make your brand the topic of discussion. It’s a power worth investing in.
