Seattle Drivers Are Hard to Reach Through Traditional Ads

Seattle's automotive market is fiercely competitive, with dealerships and service centers fighting for attention across a sprawling metro stretching from Downtown to the Eastside. Digital ads get skipped, radio gets muted, and billboards along I-5 and I-405 blur past at highway speed. Meanwhile, Seattle's tech-savvy population has become expert at tuning out traditional advertising.

But there is one place Seattle drivers cannot skip your message: their own building. Whether heading to their car in the morning or coming home after a long commute across the 520 bridge, elevator screens deliver your message to a captive audience. Seattle's rainy weather means more time indoors in lobbies and elevators, giving your automotive brand repeated, high-attention exposure.

Why Elevator Ads Work for Seattle Automotive Businesses

Reach Car Owners Where They Live

Target residents of premium buildings across Seattle who own or lease vehicles and need service, maintenance, or their next car. Your ad meets them steps from their parking garage.

Dominate the Commuter Mindset

Seattle commuters spending 30+ minutes on I-5 or SR-99 see your ad right before they get in the car. Prime timing for service reminders, seasonal tire offers, or new model launches.

Hyper-Local Targeting

Place ads in buildings near your dealership or service center. Reach Bellevue luxury buyers, Capitol Hill urban drivers, or Downtown lease customers in specific neighborhoods.

Unskippable Brand Impressions

Unlike digital ads that get scrolled past or blocked, elevator screens command attention in a distraction-free environment. Your automotive brand gets 100% share of voice.
