Full Tram Wraps

Wrap an entire tram to turn it into a bold, mobile billboard moving through Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and the surrounding area. With unmissable visual impact and constant movement through the region’s busiest zones, full tram wraps are ideal for brand awareness, campaign launches, and regional takeovers. Whether your message is for the public or professionals, these high-frequency moving ads deliver scale and impact.

Platform 6 Sheets

Interior panels present an opportunity to speak directly to a seated, often focused audience.

Interior ads deliver consistent exposure throughout the passenger’s journey, reinforcing brand messages in a calm, distraction-free environment.

Is tram advertising effective in Birmingham and the West Midlands?

Yes. Trams operate daily through the busiest parts of Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Dudley and Sandwell, offering repeated impressions and strong brand recall. Advertising is visible both to passengers and to people in the surrounding environment, giving you impact on board, at stops, and on the wider streetscape.

Can I target specific routes or stops?

Absolutely. Campaigns can be tailored to focus on particular stretches of the line, individual stops, or key areas such as Birmingham city centre, Grand Central, or Wolverhampton St George’s. We’ll work with you to plan placements that align with your target audience and campaign goals.

How long should my campaign run?

Campaigns typically run from 2 weeks up to 12 months, depending on objectives. Short bursts work well for events, launches, or time-sensitive promotions, while longer-term bookings help build consistent awareness and reinforce brand presence.

Do Metro campaigns work for B2B as well as consumer brands?

Definitely. While consumer-facing campaigns are common, the Metro is also highly effective for B2B messaging. With routes serving business districts, professional commuters, and decision-makers travelling daily, tram advertising is a credible and visible channel for services, recruitment, and corporate branding.
