Every day, we are bombarded with thousands of ads. On highways, on high-rise buildings, across LED digital screens—everything competes for one thing: attention. But of all those ads, how many do we actually remember?
This phenomenon is no accident. Many brands try to appear bold, hoping to capture the spotlight. Yet the result often backfires, coming across as aggressive, intrusive, and ultimately forgettable. On the other hand, some brands play it too safe, so subtle that their presence is barely noticed.
This is the core paradox of display advertising banners, especially in outdoor formats. Being too bold can harm your image, while being too quiet causes your brand to miss out on significant opportunities.
So what's the solution? A balanced approach that combines captivating design, strategic placement, and unavoidable media exposure without being a nuisance. That’s where City Vision stands out. As a specialist in outdoor display advertising, City Vision delivers advertising solutions that not only grab attention but also stick in the memory and drive real action.

Display OOH (Out-of-Home) is not just about “putting up a big ad.” Truly effective outdoor advertising has certain key characteristics, including:
Capturing attention within the first 3 seconds, the golden window before the viewer moves on.
Easy readability even while driving, with messaging delivered in mere seconds.
Concise but impactful messages, using every word efficiently in limited space.
Strategic locations with relevant audiences, such as Sudirman or SCBD, where exclusivity meets visibility.
City Vision understands that showing up in public spaces is more than just being present. It's about claiming visual authority, and only brands with bold vision can make the most of it.
Before a word is read, color already communicates. Bright color combinations on dark backgrounds increase visibility day and night. Use brand-specific tones, but ensure enough contrast to stand out.
Decorative fonts may look good on brochures, but not on billboards. Stick to bold, clean typefaces with a maximum of seven words per display. Messages must be readable from at least 20 meters away.
Visuals aren’t decorations. They must carry the core message and evoke emotion. Choose images or illustrations that instantly convey your campaign’s value or call to action.
CTAs like “Shop Now” or “Today Only” must be visible. Use visual elements like arrows, highlights, or basic animation to guide the viewer’s eye directly to the CTA.

One of the biggest advantages of outdoor display advertising banners is that they can't be skipped. The audience has no choice but to see them, and the effects run deeper:
High brand recall thanks to large-scale visuals and repeated exposure
Enhanced brand authority, as premium ad placement boosts image and credibility
Offline-to-online conversion through QR codes, short URLs, and hashtags that invite digital interaction
Real-world action from brand awareness, such as increased website visits, brand searches, and even direct sales
Outdoor display advertising is no longer just about visibility, but also about conversion.
