About Alive · FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Plain answers for advertisers. If yours is not here, send us a brief.

How long is my advert on screen?

We play 8–15 second spots in rotation.

Our screens stand at high-volume traffic intersections, so you can reach people while they wait at the intersection. Drivers who wait there give you a captured audience for not less than 45 to 70 seconds.

How long can a campaign run?

You can book spots from one day to one year.

Can I change my advert during a campaign?

Yes. Our screens are digital, so you can change messaging in just seconds.

Can I show different adverts at different times or on different screens?

Yes. You can rotate locations, and choose the time, day or month your adverts flight. A restaurant can flight a breakfast, lunch and supper special by time of day.

You can also show different branch details on each screen location.

Who designs my advert?

Adverts can be supplied or designed by our in-house team of designers.

Our design guidelines come down to four words: Simple. Bold. Legible. Brief.

Alive's design guidelines advise against white backgrounds: on LED, white or very light colours may repel the eye.

What reports do I get?

We provide proof of flighting reports, campaign achievement reports and Broadsign programmatic reporting.

Where are your billboards?

From rural to urban we reach them all. From LSM 1-10 we are seen by all.

Find a screen on the map in the Gauteng finder, or see the Rural & Township sites. Both are built from Alive's national site list (August 2021) and OMC inventory (July 2026).

Who advertises with Alive?

8 out of 10 of South Africa's most valuable brands advertise with Alive Advertising.

Betway used the network across a national footprint, with creative flexibility. Dial-a-Bed showed the branch closest to each sign, driving people to the store. Ster-Kinekor and KFC ran high-quality video creative.

What does it cost, and how do I book?

It depends on the sites, the dates and how often your advert plays. Send us a brief and we will come back with a plan.
