cement locations depending on industry and traffic patterns
Choose an agency with proven experience navigating local laws, media zones, and urban dynamics.
2. Evaluate Their Service Range
A good agency offers more than just space — they provide end-to-end solutions, including:
Hoarding, billboard & signage design
Manufacturing and installation
Site analysis and placement strategy
Vehicle branding, pop-up booths, flags, and roll-ups
Creative design and campaign management
Maintenance and performance tracking
One agency. Multiple solutions. That’s how you avoid delays and disconnects.
3. Check Their Design Quality
Outdoor ads must be clear, bold, and instantly understandable. Review the agency’s portfolio to see:
Visual impact and clarity
Use of color, typography, and layout
Brand consistency in past projects
Creativity and modern design standards
Ask to see real-world photos of installed projects — not just digital mockups.
4. Ask About Compliance and Permits
In the UAE, outdoor advertising is regulated. A reliable agency should be able to:
Handle municipality permits and advertising approvals
Follow size, height, and content guidelines
Ensure signage is safely installed and maintained
Avoid working with agencies that skip compliance — it could cost you in fines or take-down orders.
5. Assess Location Access and Vendor Networks
Does the agency have access to prime billboard or hoarding locations? Do they partner with reliable installers, printers, and fabrication companies?
Look for:
Variety of options (highways, malls, construction zones, event spaces)
Indoor/outdoor flexibility
Strong relationships with landlords or media owners
The right agency will know where your audience is — and how to reach them.
6. Test Their Communication & Support
Outdoor campaigns require coordination, deadlines, and clear communication. During your initial conversations, ask yourself:
Do they respond quickly and clearly?
Do they explain technical terms in simple language?
Are they proactive in suggesting solutions?
A good agency doesn’t just execute — they collaborate and support.
7. Read Reviews & Ask for References
Word of mouth still matters. Look for:
Google Reviews or testimonials on their website
Case studies from past clients
Direct references from clients in a similar industry
Don’t just trust what the agency says — trust what their clients say.
