What is Black Cab Advertising?
Black cab advertising involves placing advertisements on and inside black cabs, transforming these vehicles into moving billboards. This form of out-of-home (OOH) advertising can include:
Taxi Wraps (Full or partial wraps)
As black cabs naturally draw attention wading in and out of the traffic of London, partial or full taxi wraps which cover the outside of the cab are beneficial for instantly capturing the attention of thousands of passers-by, commuters, and tourists.
Key benefits include:
- High visibility and broad reach
- Iconic status and trustworthy
- Extended exposure time
- Creative flexibility
Taxi Supersides: (Large panels on the sides of the cab)
Another form of taxi advertising is taxi supersides which are similar to taxi wraps but perhaps on a larger scale with more concise messages on one or both large panels on the side of the black cab. This type of advertising harnesses the high visibility and constant movement of taxis to reach a wide audience.
Key benefits include:
- High visibility and impact
- Targeted reach
- Urban coverage
- Iconic status and trustworthy
Taxi Tip Seats: (Posters or digital screens)
Taxi tip-seat posters leverage the interior space of black cabs to reach passengers directly during their ride. This advertising format places posters or digital screens on the back of the front seats, providing a unique and engaging way to communicate with a captive audience for the time they are travelling in the black cab.
Key benefits include:
- Captive audience engagement
- Iconic status and trustworthy
- Cost-effective advertising
- Ideal for local targeting
