How It Works
Perimeter advertising uses strategically placed advertising boards (also known as LED boards) to convey key marketing messages within an event. These messages can be displayed in a number of ways, including: slogans, images, logos and graphics.
Perimeter advertising allows the target audience to consume the desired sport in-conjunction with the advertising message, without causing interruption.
This method maximises the consumer's user experience and ensures messages are being conveyed at peak engagement times, something which is often a challenge in contemporary marketing, such as TV-advertisements.
