We help brands secure the right sites across stations, gateways, and trains, and manage the campaign from booking through to reporting.
Metro Advertising Types in Saudi Arabia
Digital
Digital metro screens at platforms and gateways. Bright, animated content reaches commuters during dwell time, when attention is at its highest on the Riyadh Metro.
Large Formats
Full-height platform panels designed for scale. The signature format for metro campaigns that want a real hero moment along the busiest Riyadh Metro concourses.
12 Sheets
Twelve-sheet poster panels sized for the metro corridor. A workhorse format that builds reach and frequency along daily commuter routes across the Kingdom.
6 Sheets
Six-sheet posters catch commuters at eye level along platforms and connecting walkways. A precise, high-frequency format that works especially well as part of a full station buy.
Ticket Gateways
Branded ticket gateways at the entry and exit lines of Riyadh Metro stations. Every single rider passes through, twice a day, giving your campaign guaranteed impact.
Escalator Panels
Side-panel advertising along the length of the escalator runs. You have the commuter's full attention as they ride between the concourse and the platform, with nowhere else to look.
Escalator Stickers
Floor and handrail stickers on the escalators themselves. An unexpected placement that stands out from every other format on the station and travels straight to social feeds.
Interior Advertising
Full-carriage interior branding — from window vinyls and grab-handle wraps to overhead panels and door decals. Riders spend the whole journey with your creative, on every route.
FAQs
FAQs for Metro Advertising in Saudi Arabia
Common questions about Metro Advertising in Saudi Arabia, from pricing and locations to artwork and go-live timelines.
What is metro advertising?
Metro advertising refers to ad placements across a city's metro network, including station gateways, platform panels, train interiors, and train wraps. It puts brands in front of commuters during their daily journey, often for extended periods.
How much does metro advertising cost in Saudi Arabia?
Costs vary depending on the station, format, and campaign length. Gateway and wrap placements typically cost more than platform panels or train interiors. We provide a clear cost breakdown within 60 minutes of your enquiry, once we understand your target stations and goals.
What formats are available for metro train advertising?
Options include station gateways, platform panels, train interior ads, and full or partial train wraps. Each suits a different budget and objective, from single-station visibility to network-wide exposure.
How is metro advertising different from billboard or Mupi advertising?
Billboards are viewed from a distance, usually by drivers, while Mupi panels sit at pavement level for pedestrians. Metro advertising reaches commuters during dwell time at stations and on trains, allowing longer exposure and more detailed messaging than either format.
How long does a metro advertising campaign typically run?
Campaign length depends on your objective. Short bursts suit product launches or seasonal offers, while longer bookings suit brand-building campaigns that rely on repeated exposure to the same daily commuters.
Do you handle permits for metro advertising?
Yes. We manage the full process, including permits, site logistics, creative specifications, and installation, so you don't need to coordinate directly with the metro authority or multiple suppliers.
How far in advance should I book a metro advertising campaign?
Prime stations and gateway sites can book up quickly, particularly around major retail periods and events. We'd recommend reaching out several weeks ahead of your planned start date to secure the best available sites.
Can metro advertising be combined with other outdoor formats?
Yes. Many brands combine metro station advertising with billboards or Mupi panels to extend reach beyond the station itself. We help plan that combination as part of a single, coordinated campaign.
