Billboard Advertising in Calgary vs. Elevator Ads

Calgary's Deerfoot Trail and Trans-Canada Highway see hundreds of thousands of daily commuters, making billboards a fixture of the local ad landscape. But in a city where energy sector decisions happen inside downtown towers, there is a smarter way to reach Calgary's most valuable audiences.

When to Use Billboards

Billboards along Deerfoot Trail, the Trans-Canada Highway, and Stoney Trail are effective for mass brand awareness campaigns targeting Calgary's commuters. They work well for event promotions, new store openings, and broad reach across the metro area where sheer visibility matters most.

When to Use Elevator Ads

Elevator ads are the better choice when targeting Calgary's energy sector professionals and high-income residents in the Downtown Core and Beltline. With 125 buildings and 215 screens, you reach a captive audience of decision-makers 4 to 6 times daily with 100% share of voice and 2.3x higher ad recall than digital alternatives.
