Since 1996

In 1996, Alive launched South Africa's first digital billboard, on the Smit Street off-ramp in Braamfontein, Johannesburg.

Alive has been a reliable ally for brands, media agencies and advertisers of all scales, helping them reach audiences across South Africa.

What we do

  • At the red light

    Our screens stand at high-volume traffic intersections, so you can reach people while they wait at the intersection.

  • Time on screen

    Drivers who wait there give you a captured audience for not less than 45 to 70 seconds.

  • Change it fast

    Change messaging in just seconds

  • Right time, right place

    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.

Where you will find us

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

Who trusts us
