Car tops, wraps, LED trucks, swarms. What each format does, what the market charges, and what campaigns actually measured afterwards. Sourced, or not published.
One campaign, four markets, measured against control
What a mobile OOH campaign moved
A cosmetics brand ran digital tops across Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, and Miami. LoopMe surveyed exposed and control audiences afterwards. Every figure below links to the published study.

Four ways a vehicle carries an ad
The format decides the campaign
They are not interchangeable. A wrap and a digital top reach the same street and answer completely different briefs.

Digital car tops
Dual-sided LED screens on the roof. Creative rotates by daypart or GPS zone, so one campaign can run three messages across three neighbourhoods on the same night.

Vehicle wraps and 360 wraps
Vinyl across the body of the car. No screen, no power draw, maximum surface. The format brands reach for when the vehicle itself should read as the ad.

LED trucks
A full-size digital billboard that drives. Sized for event perimeters, stadium approaches, and launches where a static board would sit in the wrong place.

Swarms
A coordinated fleet running the same creative through one market at once. Frequency built out of repetition across a city rather than one heavily trafficked corner.
A billboard reaches whoever passes one intersection. A vehicle fleet runs the corridors, neighbourhoods, and venues you name, and moves when the campaign moves.
02
Proof the campaign ran where you paid for it
GPS logs every mile and dwell point. You get route data and impression modelling built on department of transportation traffic counts, not an estimate written before the campaign started.
03
Creative you can change mid-flight
Digital formats swap creative remotely, by daypart or by zone. A printed billboard takes weeks to change. This takes minutes.
04
A measurable lift, not a vibe
Brand lift studies compare exposed and control audiences in your campaign geography. The numbers above came out of exactly that kind of study.
