Who said static can't be flexible?
Strangely, one of the most appealing attributes of static out of home (SOOH) is also one of the least appealing attributes, the cost. From the consumer's point of view, the expensive reputation associated with billboards is what drives trust in the platform. A brand that can afford to advertise on such a premium platform must be reputable and therefore trustworthy. And the bigger the better! The bigger the billboard, the more premium the brand, the deeper the trust. 11 Oct 2023 Read more

At Mamela we often say, 'there's no silver bullet' when it comes to marketing your brand. There is no singular platform that magically does it all. Based on your campaign KPI's we strategically plot a journey of touch points that ushers the consumer down that well known conversion funnel. The right messaging, in the right place, at the right time allows brands to ensure more purposeful targeting, less wastage and ultimately, higher conversions. 1 Mar 2023 Read more
