Advertising on trucks — including digital LED mobile billboard trucks — is dominating the out-of-home (OOH) industry landscape today in 2025. Brands across the globe are turning their budgets towards mobile billboard campaigns for unparalleled recall, versatility, and the gift of eyeball-level visibility for reaching people on the move.
1. What Is Advertising on a Truck?
Truck advertising converts trucks into mobile ad spaces that travel on crowded corridors. Two types reign supreme:
- Static panels (hokey old truck-side billboards)
- Digital LED displays (dynamic, video-enabled billboards on wheels)
Unlike static billboards plastered in location, truck advertising rides the audience — around stadiums, shopping districts, events, or simply along drive corridors.
2. Why Is Truck Advertising Growing So Fast?
The OOH industry has been rising year by year steadily, and digital OOH formats are leading the charge. Mobile formats are becoming the preferred option of advertisers for the following reasons:
- They can alter routes in real time
- They create more daily impressions than fixed billboard ads
- They expose advertising to individuals at street level
Brands require visibility that cannot be zipped past, blocked, or scrolled through — and truck advertising fulfilled all these criteria.
3. ROI and Effectiveness: The Key Numbers
Mobile billboard campaigns have a proven track record of outperform most traditional and digital formats:
- Average ROI up to 497%
- 94% ad recall and 80% brand-specific recall
- Campaigns can drive up to 100%+ uplift in local sales
- Omnichanneling OOH with mobile retargeting increases ROI by 300%+
If combined with digital strategy, truck advertising is a one-two punch of visibility + performance.
4. Why Do People Remember Truck Ads?
Truck-based advertising works because it’s impossible to ignore:
- 90% of people notice mobile billboards
- 91% remember the visuals
- One truck can generate up to millions of impressions per month
A dynamic, moving screen on the level of street will attract much more attention than fixed sings above.
5. Why Truck Advertising Wins in 2025
Truck advertising is being used more and more because it:
Travel with audience instead of wiating for them Capture events, routes, and high-traffic times Avoids ad blockers and digital fatigue Plays video, audio, QRs, and live content Places the viewer into immersive, memorable moment
Truck ads are among the only formats that still make people slow down, look, and remember with shrinking attention spans.
6. How Technology Amplifies Truck Campaigns
The latest billboard trucks are powered by live technology and AI-driven strategy:
- GPS tracking & proof-of-performance reports
- Route optimization for maximum impressions
- Creative swaps by daypart or event
- Geo-fencing + retargeting to connect offline audiences with online campaigns
Truck advertising is no longer just “a moving billboard” — it’s a data-driven, trackable channel.
7. How Do You Plan a Truck Advertising Campaign?
Here are the key steps to launching a campaign:
- Define your objective – awareness, sales, event attendance, or political exposure
- Choose your geography – city centers, festivals, stadiums, or neighborhood routes
- Select your creative – static slides, animated video, sound, QR codes
- Select timing – morning commutes, weekends, or seasonal blitz
- Measure results – track impressions, foot traffic, and engagement
