Pharmaceutical Billboard Advertising

At Clear Channel Outdoor (CCO), we’ve combined our nationwide network of billboards and our proprietary data solutions to develop scalable opportunities for pharmaceutical companies to use out-of-home (OOH) media to advertise their products and deliver measurable results.

Get Started

CCO’s RADAR data solutions can help measure your pharmaceutical brand’s impact

As a pharmaceutical advertiser, our CCO RADAR data platform can help you effectively plan, amplify, and measure the impact of your OOH advertising. For healthcare marketers, we work with industry-leading data partners to onboard their audience data and provide custom media plans that can effectively and efficiently reach desired consumer segments. Through numerous campaigns, we’ve delivered statistically significant results and provided measurable impact on pharmaceutical advertisers’ business performance. Our data-driven approach allows you to use billboards to reach your desired audiences in the same way you do with video, digital and social channels, with the scale and creative impact that only OOH can deliver.

CCO’s pharmaceutical advertising solutions deliver measurable, full-funnel results

While working with CCO, pharmaceutical advertisers have seen statistically significant, data-driven impact on business performance, from upper-funnel awareness to lower-funnel conversion*. Through collaboration with leading data and analytics partners, like IQVIA, Kantar, LiveRamp, and Veeva Crossix, CCO's full-funnel approach can help provide an understanding of how a billboard campaign impacts consumer awareness and intent to speak with a medical professional. Additionally, it can measure how the campaign helped to influence volume of prescriptions written and filled by those exposed to the billboard campaign. What's more, the analysis may be able to provide insights into healthcare professionals reached by the campaign.

*Specific measurement solutions are subject to feasibility assessment and conditional upon certain campaign requirements and scale.

Go beyond billboard advertising to effectively amplify messaging

For pharmaceutical brands, our mobile retargeting solutions help drive further impact and reach your brand's target audience segment after they're exposed to the billboard ads. This unique strategy of using the scale of billboard advertising to initially reach the target, and then following with ads delivered on mobile devices, not only delivers reminder messaging and Important Safety Information (ISI), but has also been seen to deliver up to a 40% increase in click through rates (CTR) on mobile ads*.
