Chicago's Kennedy Expressway, Dan Ryan, and Lake Shore Drive carry millions of daily drivers, making billboards a cornerstone of the city's ad market. But with so many high-value professionals concentrated in the Loop and surrounding neighborhoods, elevator ads deliver a smarter way to reach the audiences that drive business decisions.
Billboards along I-90/94, I-290, and Lake Shore Drive are effective for mass brand awareness campaigns targeting Chicago's nearly 2 million daily commuters. They work well for event promotions, product launches, and broad reach across the metro area where sheer visibility matters most.
Elevator ads are the better choice when targeting Chicago's high-income professionals in The Loop and River North, where median household incomes exceed $102,000. With 83 buildings and 123 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.
