Billboard Advertising in Roanoke vs. Elevator Ads

Roanoke sits at the crossroads of I-81 and I-581, making highway billboards a common advertising choice for reaching commuters and travelers passing through western Virginia. But for brands that want to reach local decision-makers where they work, there is a smarter way to connect with Roanoke's most valuable audiences.

When to Use Billboards

Billboards along I-81, I-581, and US-220 are effective for mass brand awareness campaigns targeting Roanoke's regional commuters and the 30,000+ daily vehicles traveling through the Valley. They work well for tourism promotions, restaurant and retail openings, and broad reach where sheer visibility matters most.

When to Use Elevator Ads

Elevator ads are the better choice when targeting Roanoke's healthcare leaders, financial professionals, and business decision-makers in Downtown and the medical corridor, where median household incomes exceed $75,000. With 37 buildings and 79 screens, you reach a captive audience 4 to 6 times daily with 100% share of voice and 2.3x higher ad recall than digital alternatives.
