Full Tram Wraps

Transform the entire tram into a high-impact mobile billboard seen by thousands every day. Full wraps dominate the urban landscape, offering continuous exposure across key business zones including Manchester city centre, MediaCityUK, and key travel routes. Ideal for brand awareness, event launches, or large-scale public campaigns, tram wraps offer standout visibility and prestige.

Platform 6 Sheets

For campaigns focused on key touchpoints and repeated messaging, platform 6-sheets offer powerful exposure. Positioned at eye level in busy tram stops, they benefit from high dwell times and regular footfall. This format is ideal for local service promotions, regional marketing, education initiatives, and event advertising by engaging people as they pause and wait for their journey.

Interior Panels

Interior panels present an opportunity to speak directly to a seated, often focused audience. These placements are ideal for messaging that needs a little more time to resonate such as public service campaigns, professional services, app downloads, or detailed recruitment drives. Interior ads deliver consistent exposure throughout the passenger’s journey, reinforcing brand messages in a calm, distraction-free environment.
