rand marketers are constantly on the lookout for high visibility locations for communicating their messages to the maximum possible audience set. For all those who are not familiar with the Al Ittihad Road (commonly called the Dubai Sharjah Road), it is one of the busiest roads in the entire UAE (probably in the entire GCC region) with a vehicular traffic density of more than 160000 every day translating to almost 400000 in the number of people having the opportunity to see/read the brand message. That makes it 12 million viewers a month getting to see the advertising message, which is colossal by any standards. And what is hugely compelling is that the cost per contact is very negligible providing great ROI to brand marketers.

Brand marketers are constantly on the lookout for high visibility locations for
communicating their messages to the maximum possible audience set. For all those who are
not familiar with the Al Ittihad Road (commonly called the Dubai Sharjah Road), it is one
of the busiest roads in the entire UAE (probably in the entire GCC region) with a vehicular
traffic density of more than 160000 every day translating to almost 400000 in the number
of people having the opportunity to see/read the brand message. That makes it 12 million
viewers a month getting to see the advertising message, which is colossal by any standards.
And what is hugely compelling is that the cost per contact is very negligible providing great
ROI to brand marketers.
Outdoor/OOH media in the UAE is one of the most significant media platforms being used
by brand marketers. “If you look at the UAE topography and media consumption patterns,
there is a significant amount of dwell time that people spend getting from one place to
another. Effectively, it translates to almost 30% of the time being spent on the road creating
substantial OTS for brands that have selected strategically high visibility vantage points to
broadcast their communication. The ISD Global’s LED Site on the Dubai Sharjah Road
provides a wonderful opportunity for brands to craft out their messages(be it strategic or
tactical) and reach out a high volume of vehicle users, day in and day out. Also, since the
traffic is almost grindingly slow at the location of the LED Screen, the opportunity to see
factor is augmented considerably’, commented Dipti Vaidyanathan, Brand & Business
Developer, ISD Global.
Brands across multiple categories have found the site immensely beneficial. They range
from Education brands (like London School of Economics, University of Bolton, ECMIT,
WINC, Manipal University Dubai, Manhattan Film Academy New York) to Supply Chain
companies (Barloworld Logistics) to FMCG (Barakat Juices) to Car Rental
companies(Thrifty) to Driving Institutes(Galadari Motor Driving Institute) to Interior
Design Consultancies(Interiors Quotient). More and more categories are seeing immense
value in the LED Screen location and campaign bookings for the next few months include
brands from categories be it Airlines, Hotels, Travel services providers, Automobiles, Real
Estate, Banks & Financial Institutions, Fashion & Lifestyle, F&B, FMCG etc.
“Nowhere can you get a campaign run on such a high traffic location with assured visibility
that costs as little as a little over AED 1 per spot per day. The response that we have been
getting from advertisers and Media Buying Houses therefore have been phenomenal”,
concluded Dipti.
