Advertisers love digital billboards because they combine rapid turnaround, creative flexibility, and audience targeting, giving brands the ability to present consumers with relevant, timely messaging.

Digital billboards also give advertisers the ability to create contextual relevance by integrating real-time dynamic data in ad creative.
Best of all, digital billboard advertising lets brands target audiences without using their personal data, allowing for the attribution and measurement capabilities that marketers demand.
