Regarded as the pinnacle of modern outdoor advertising, Giantboard Advertisements are the ultimate vehicle for brands seeking to reach massive audiences, leave a lasting impression, and project their corporate prestige at the highest level. The term Giantboard literally means "Giant Panel" and refers to colossal advertising spaces created by combining multiple standard billboards into much larger formats, strategically positioned on the city's main arteries, highway sides, and critical junctions.
At HF media, leveraging the expertise of Dülger Group, we position the Giantboard Advertising category as the most powerful investment medium for corporate clients during launch periods, image campaigns, or for those aiming to assert their market leadership. Our Giantboard rental services go beyond merely providing a surface; they offer a strategic communication platform that instantly broadcasts your brand's scale and ambitious stance to thousands of people.
Giantboard advertisements are the most striking and high-impact format in outdoor advertising, created by combining several standard billboards either horizontally or vertically.
Monumental Dimensions: While standard billboards average 3x6 m., Giantboard panels typically start at 4x12 m. and can reach colossal sizes up to 8x16 m. or more. This immense size ensures the brand's message is noticed from kilometers away.
Long-Distance Visibility: Positioned specifically along motorways, main arteries with long sight lines, and city entrance/exit points, these giant advertising panels maximize the exposure time (dwell time) for high-speed drivers and passengers, extending the period of message absorption.
Visual Impact: The large surface area provides brands with boundless opportunities for creative designs. Utilizing three-dimensional objects, eye-catching models, or gigantic product visuals dramatically multiplies brand memorability.
Maximum Attention Capture: By virtue of their size, they instantly stand out from all other surrounding advertising media and street furniture. They are of a magnitude that the human eye cannot ignore.
Prestige and Image Building: Advertising on a gigantic scale demonstrates the brand's power, financial stability, and ambitious presence in the sector. This directly enhances brand prestige and credibility among consumers.
Mass Audience Reach: Because they are located at the city's most crowded points with the highest traffic density, Giantboard advertisements ensure uninterrupted access (OTS – Opportunity To See) to tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of people daily.
The key to success in Giantboard advertising is not just the size, but where this giant panel is situated. HF media uses scientific traffic data and consumer mobility analyses when determining its Giantboard inventory.
Giantboard panels must be positioned where traffic intensity is highest and the line of sight is longest:
Highway Sides and Connecting Roads: Ideal for reaching regular commuters and intercity travelers on major motorways in Turkey, such as the TEM and D-100 in Istanbul. Exposure time in these spots can be extended due to traffic congestion.
Major Junctions and Traffic Control Points: At points where drivers are forced to stop or slow down, sufficient time is created for the advertising message to be fully absorbed.
Airport Routes and Surroundings: Critical for brands targeting high-level business travelers, tourists, and high-income groups, with panels strategically placed on airport access and departure routes.
Giantboards are typically used to broadcast a single, powerful message with a single visual over a long period. However, strategic use varies according to the brand's objective:
Launch Campaigns: Used to generate maximum noise and awareness when a new product or service enters the market. The colossal visibility underscores the importance of the launch.
Image and Reinforcement: Used to powerfully convey the brand's corporate values, slogan, or new vision to the target audience, establishing a lasting perception in their minds.
Target Audience Demographics: Thanks to location analysis, focus can be placed on the correct audience (e.g., A/B socio-economic classes) by considering the socio-economic structure and population density of the panel's surrounding area.
Design for giant advertising panels requires a completely different discipline than for standard media. A small mistake is magnified exponentially across a huge surface.
Minimalism and Clarity: A Giantboard is passed in 5-7 seconds while driving. Therefore, the slogan should not exceed 5 words, and the visual must have a single, clear focal point.
Readability and Contrast: Fonts must be bold, simple, and very large to be easily legible even at high speed or long distances. High contrast between colors (e.g., light text on a dark background) is vital.
Large Format Optimization: The design must be meticulously optimized to ensure it does not pixelate or suffer detail loss when scaled up to the monumental size. HF media's expert teams carefully check this optimization before printing.
Giantboards are typically produced using high-resolution UV printing onto a single piece of vinyl.
Material Durability: The vinyl banners must be highly resistant to wind, sunlight, and temperature changes, ensuring they are long-lasting and resistant to color fading.
Lighting Systems: Many Giantboards are equipped with powerful external LED or halogen lighting systems to ensure 24/7 visibility at night. This ensures the ad remains effective around the clock.
Printing and Installation Expertise: Large-format printing and stretching the vinyl onto the panel are operations that require specialized expertise. HF media guarantees flawless surface tension and installation.
Renting a Giantboard advertisement is a significant investment that must be managed correctly. HF media provides comprehensive support in campaign planning, execution, and legal processes.
Giantboard advertisement prices are significantly higher than standard billboards, but the impact they create is also exponentially greater. The key factors influencing pricing are:
Location Prestige: The most central, high-traffic, and longest sight-line locations in cities like Istanbul are the most expensive.
Rental Duration: Campaigns are generally rented on a monthly (4-week) basis. Longer-term rentals (3 months or more) can provide significant advantages on a unit price basis.
Additional Costs: In addition to the rental fee, operational costs for high-quality Giantboard printing and professional installation/de-installation must be included in the budget.
At HF media, we shield our clients from complex bureaucratic processes.
Legal Permit Management: Monumental panels like Giantboards are subject to local and Metropolitan Municipality Advertisement Regulations. All necessary permits, licensing, and advertisement tax payments are completed by our firm prior to the campaign launch.

A Giantboard is fundamentally a combination of multiple standard billboard units, resulting in monumental sizes (4x12 m. minimum) that guarantee visibility from much greater distances, especially on major Turkish motorways like TEM and D-100. Our management includes rigorous legal compliance and strategic placement targeting the longest possible viewing time for high-speed traffic.
Due to the significant investment in high-resolution printing, specialized installation, and legal permitting, Giantboard campaigns are typically structured for a minimum of 4 weeks (one month). We strongly recommend flights of 3 months or longer to ensure the message achieves high frequency and a lasting, iconic image impact.
We strictly adhere to the 5-to-7-second rule for Giantboards. Our creative consultation focuses on reducing text to a maximum of 5 words, utilizing simple, bold fonts, and maximizing color contrast between text and background to ensure instantaneous comprehension by drivers traveling at high speeds.
We manage the entire legal and bureaucratic process in-house. This includes obtaining all necessary permits from the relevant Metropolitan and District Municipalities, managing structural approvals, and ensuring all required advertisement taxes are paid on time. This approach removes the bureaucratic burden from the international client.
We use high-quality, weather-resistant UV-printed vinyl for the main graphic, ensuring color longevity and resistance to sun fading and rain. For nighttime visibility, Giantboards are illuminated by powerful external LED or halogen spot lighting systems that guarantee the image is bright and effective 24 hours a day.
