Public Notices Get Ignored — Elevator Ads Don't

Local government agencies struggle to reach residents with important messages. Bulletin boards go unread, mailers get recycled, and digital campaigns compete with endless noise. When citizens need to act — whether it's a zoning change, a public health initiative, or a new transit route — the message often never lands.

Elevator advertising in government buildings solves this by placing your message in a space where residents are already present and attentive. Courthouses, city halls, licensing offices, and community centres see thousands of daily visitors who spend 30 to 60 seconds per elevator ride with nothing else to look at.

Vertical Impression delivers professional elevator ad placements in municipal buildings across Canada, helping agencies communicate more effectively without increasing print or digital budgets.

Why Choose Elevator Advertising

Reach Residents During Civic Visits

Citizens visiting government buildings for permits, hearings, or services are a focused audience. Elevator ads deliver your message when they're already engaged with civic matters.

Cost-Effective Public Communication

Compared to direct mail campaigns or digital ads, elevator advertising offers sustained visibility at a fraction of the cost — running 24/7 without ongoing spend increases.

Hyper-Local Targeting by Building

Choose specific municipal buildings, courthouses, or community centres to target the exact neighbourhoods and demographics your agency needs to reach.
