Outdoor (or out-of-home) advertising is any form of advertising visible in the outdoor, such as roadside, transport and retail/lifestyle.

• Roadside consists of Taxi backs, bus and tram shelters, bus and tram externals, billboards, phone booths, and kiosks and free standing panels.
• Transport consists of railway/bus stations, airports, and bus and tram internals.
• Retail/lifestyle consists of shopping centres.

If you want a broadcast medium with a low cost per 1000, then outdoor is the answer. Unique attributes include:

• Active 24 hours per day, 7 days per week
• Cannot be switched off or turned over
• Quick and effective impact
• Is the point of sale before the point of sale

MOVE (Measurement of Outdoor Visibility and Exposure) is an audience measurement system for outdoor media in Australia. It measures the audiences of formats outside of the home including roadside, railway stations, airports, buses and trams, and shopping centres. MOVE provides accountability to the outdoor media industry by supplying advertisers and media buyers with current data on the precise reach of outdoor media campaigns across all formats. Unlike other media which report total potential audiences - that is those with the Opportunity to See - MOVE reports the probable audiences - that is only those with the Likelihood to See and advertising face.

Taxis will be measured in MOVE under the banner Roadside Other as a format. Taxis are the hardest format to measure due to the sheer distance they travel and unpredictable routes they take. The methodology (i.e. 24 hour GPS systems) and volume of data required to measure this format would not fit into the timeline of MOVE's stage one release but will be included as a national broadcast format in stage two.

The power of the media is in the nature of the vehicle. Taxis are inseparable from the life style of the population as they link business communities, shopping areas, tourist attractions, cultural and entertainment centres and transport hubs.
Visible everywhere, taxis offer advertisers mass market and targeted awareness at exceptional value. Communication is mobile and at eye level with pedestrians, public transport commuters and motorists, keeping your brand and message front of mind for longer. For more information, please see Why Taxis?

No, we deal with all major taxi companies as well as independently owned operators.

A taxi's audience includes motorists, pedestrians and public transport commuters.

Internal taxi advertising is prohibited in the state of NSW, and to our knowledge is not available in any other state.

Taxi wraps are only available on certain taxis in Queensland.

It is currently unavailable; however, we are currently researching our options.

There is no minimum to buy; instead we have recommended weights.

A recommended weight is the amount of taxis required over a duration to achieve your desired result. Reach and frequency over a geographical area is used to calculate the amount.

The difference between the weights is the number of panels, which effects the reach and frequency.

Excluding some regional towns, we generally do not recommend single taxis as to get enough presence in outdoor you need numbers. To get the reach and frequency so that people see your message multiple times, we have recommended weights depending on the location and duration.

In capital cities, we run campaigns from 2 to 52 weeks, and in regional towns from 4 to 52 weeks.

Rates depend on the quantity of panels, location/s and duration. We quote these when we create an option for you. Request a quote or call 02 9807 2644

Generally for all Outdoor, traditional low periods are in January, April and August; while high periods are in October, November and December.

We operate taxi fleets in Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Regional towns throughout NSW, QLD, SA and WA. For a full list please see Where We Are.

While taxis naturally progress toward areas of high people activity throughout the day (such as the CBD, Airport and special events), they spend 70% of their time in their known geographic area, so we can target locations you wish to reach by loading up specific taxi bases within the area and surrounding suburbs.

Production and install costs depend on the quantity of panels being printed, the substrate used, and the number of creative designs. We itemise these details on the quote when we create an option for you.

Lead time is generally 8 to 10 weeks out form campaign start; however we can turnaround a campaign in 7 days flat (subject to availability). Artwork deadline is 10 working days out from campaign start.

We use 3.3mm standard corflute as it is waterproof and recyclable. Reflective vinyl sheeting is adhered to the corflute for both of our reflective stocks.

No. Our high visibility reflective panels use the same technology as RTA road signs, giving Rova hi-vis panels night time visibility as well as a more vibrant, clearer panel during the day.

We recycle all our used panels. Standard panels are immediate, and we take a two-step process with our hi-vis panels by removing the vinyl sheeting.
We also recycle and refurbish our boot modules by stripping them down into parts, repainting and rebuilding to put back on the street.
