When it comes to getting your message out there in a bold, visible way, few formats are as effective as advertising van hire. Unlike static billboards that rely on foot traffic passing by, mobile billboards bring your campaign directly to your audience. Whether you’re opening a new retail outlet, redirecting customers from a competitor, or supporting a cause, an advertising van gives you the flexibility and control to show up where it matters. The right place, with the right message, at the right time.
At Gorilla Media, we provide a wide range of mobile billboard formats across the UK. From digital LED vans that play high-impact video content to traditional AdVans with striking printed banners, our vehicles are built to be seen. Because we handle everything from campaign planning to logistics, hiring an advertising van with us is easy, efficient, and totally tailored to your goals.
Why Hire an Advertising Van?
The beauty of advertising van hire lies in its mobility. Your message isn’t stuck in one place. It moves. That means you can follow your audience, target specific locations, and adapt your campaign in real time. Need to promote a new product in multiple cities over a weekend? Want to generate buzz outside a stadium or during a high-street festival? An advertising van lets you do just that, and more.
In the retail sector, mobile billboards are often used tactically. You can promote new store openings, run short-term sales, or place vans near competitor sites to redirect traffic and protect your market share. They also work well for signposting, guiding people to outlets that aren’t on main roads or in well-known locations.
Beyond retail, advertising van hire is increasingly being used by third sector organisations and campaign groups. Whether you’re raising awareness, lobbying for change or trying to reach a specific community, a mobile billboard allows you to take your message directly to where it counts. We’ve supported campaigns parked outside government buildings, on city routes, and during important social or cultural events.
Advertising vans are also effective in what are called media black holes, areas without traditional out-of-home (OOH) opportunities. Where TV, print or online would be too broad or wasteful, a targeted route with a mobile van ensures your message lands exactly where it’s needed.
“The medium is the message.”
— Marshall McLuhan
Advertising vans are still an unusual sight for most people. That rarity, combined with the sheer size of the screen or printed display, makes them naturally attention-grabbing.
Making an Impact at Live Events
Advertising vans are particularly strong in event settings. They’re ideal for capturing footfall before, during, and after the action. A van parked near a festival entrance becomes part of the experience. A DigiVan playing video outside a sports venue grabs attention as crowds arrive. A static AdTrailer near a retail park ensures visibility throughout the day.
Hiring an advertising van for an event gives you more than presence. It gives you freedom. You decide where the van goes, when it’s seen, and what message it delivers.
Supporting Pride Month on the Move
One of our most vibrant seasonal campaigns is during Pride Month. Every year, cities across the UK come alive with celebration, solidarity, and colour. Advertising van hire offers the perfect platform to be part of that energy.
At Gorilla Media, we’ve worked with clients to create Pride campaigns that roll through high streets, join parades, and deliver bold, inclusive messages to communities. When you choose advertising van hire for Pride, your campaign doesn’t sit in the background. It leads.
We’ve helped brands share messages of love, identity, and support through DigiVans lit up with colourful displays. Whether parked at key venues or travelling with the crowd, these vans create real presence and energy.
Pride campaigns need to be more than visible. They should be meaningful. That’s why we help with creative planning, route approvals and on-the-ground support to make sure the campaign reflects your values and speaks to the audience in the right way.
