Planning a campaign

What are the best billboard locations in Dhaka?

The strongest sites are the ones with the slowest traffic, not the most: Gulshan Circle-1 and Circle-2, Mohakhali, Karwan Bazar, Panthapath, Science Lab, Bijoy Sarani and Mirpur-10. Dhaka carries 38 of the 58 screens in our network.

Everyone asks for "the busiest road". It is the wrong metric, and chasing it is how advertisers end up paying a premium for a site nobody can read.

What you actually want is slow traffic with a clean approach angle. A motorway with 80,000 vehicles doing sixty gives you a fraction of a second. A signalled junction with a fraction of that volume gives you ninety seconds of a captive, stationary audience. Dhaka, for all its frustrations, is extraordinarily good at producing the second kind.

Three questions that beat "which is best"

  1. Which direction is my customer travelling? A screen facing the morning commute into the city is a different product from the one facing the evening commute out of it — even at the same junction.
  2. What is my catchment radius? A single clinic in Dhanmondi does not need Mohakhali. A national FMCG launch does.
  3. What is the competitor doing? Sharing a junction with your direct rival is sometimes exactly right and sometimes a waste. Worth deciding deliberately rather than by accident.
