Adshel Live has hit a remarkable milestone. The UK’s largest roadside digital Out of Home proposition keeps on growing and has now reached 3,500 screens. That’s half of all available digital 6-sheets in the UK. 

The plan, some 10 years in the making, was always to build a digital OOH platform that truly delivers for brands. High quality. Flexible. Easy to buy. In the right locations. But most importantly, offering unparalleled UK coverage. 

As the one-to-many digital Out of Home leader, Adshel Live is further strengthening its position as number one for national reach. Furthermore, according to the latest Route data, the average reach per Adshel Live screen is double that of comparable alternatives. 

With such a huge footprint, Adshel Live screens are perhaps unsurprisingly in proximity to so many more retail and grocery stores than any other single Out of Home proposition. Adshel Live therefore powerfully marries audience Reach, with Retail proximity. 

But of course, we would say all this stuff, so don’t just take our word for it! In this article, six top marketers share how and why they continue to see Adshel Live as the right choice for their brands.  

“In today’s fast-paced world, reaching all communities inclusively and effectively is a significant challenge for the public sector. Adshel Live serves as a vital public notice board for us, allowing us to disseminate important information quickly and reliably. As a trusted advertising medium, it ensures that our messages are seen and heard by everyone, making it an essential tool for public communication. And even better, it’s right in the heart of the communities we’re trying to speak to, helping to provide a public service itself. A poignant example of this was the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, where every Adshel Live screen in the country immediately joined in the commemoration of her passing.” - Conrad Bird, Director, Cross-Government Campaigns & Marketing, Government Communication Service

“Reaching our viewers whilst they’re on the go, and driving consideration of our brand as well as mass awareness of our latest shows, are key objectives for ITV. Adshel Live allows us to promote ITV and our content to all audiences, including some harder-to-reach demographics, at speed and scale. Just this year, the flexibility of digital out-of-home advertising has enabled us to align with major cultural moments such as the men’s Euros, and even create cultural moments with the likes of Mr Bates vs The Post Office. Additionally, the high-quality platform enhances our brand’s reputation, making it a win-win for us.” - Ed Ross, Marketing Planning Director, ITV

More impact for advertisers, less impact on the planet 

Whilst we continue to invest in making Adshel Live the compelling advertiser proposition it has grown to become, driving sustainability remains key to our consideration. The public rightly want brands to reduce their carbon footprint, brands have set ambitious plans to do so and we’ve set about making Out of Home an easy choice for sustainably conscious brands. 

Every new Adshel Live screen that we install is 50% more energy efficient than the previous generation. We purchase 100% renewable energy and the screens are switched daily off between 12am and 5am, reducing energy consumption by 16%. 

Out of Home represents just 3.3% of UK advertising’s power consumption and under 3.5% of its carbon footprint, making it both the right and responsible choice for advertisers.
