In the age of digital marketing, social media ads, and influencer campaigns, you might wonder—do traditional hoardings still work?

Short answer: Yes. And big time.
At Viking Media Labs, we’ve seen brands achieve massive visibility and local dominance through one of the oldest marketing tools in the book: hoardings (aka billboards). Let’s break down why hoarding advertising is still relevant—and how to make it work for you.

Why Hoardings Still Work in a Digital World

1. Massive, Unmissable Exposure

You can scroll past a digital ad. You can skip a YouTube video. But a well-placed hoarding? You can’t ignore it. It dominates the skyline and grabs attention—whether you’re walking, driving, or stuck in traffic.

2. Location-Based Targeting

Want to reach people in a specific city, neighborhood, or even near your store? Hoardings offer hyper-local targeting without relying on digital algorithms.

3. 24/7 Advertising

Unlike online ads that disappear with your budget, hoardings are always visible. Day or night. Rain or shine. They’re like a permanent brand ambassador on the street.

4. Boosts Brand Trust

Big hoardings create a sense of legitimacy and authority. If people see your brand on a large billboard, they assume you're established, serious, and worth trusting.

5. Complement Digital Campaigns

The best marketing strategy isn’t either-or—it’s both. Hoardings reinforce your digital presence and build top-of-mind awareness. A person who sees your ad on Instagram and again on a hoarding? Far more likely to remember you.
