Mega Rears
For schools, colleges and universities wanting to showcase their organisation then mega rear advertising is big, bold and unmissable. With a choice of single or double deck mega rears, your advertising will reach potential students and parents both in the suburbs, close to their home, or on the high streets as they shop, socialise and commute.

Bus Shelters

Digital formats offer an innovative platform for your school, college or university to incorporate incredible technologies, such as motion detection, facial recognition, and touch screen, creating the perfect platform for students and parents to engage with your message.
