ADVERTISING BEGAN OUTDOORS
Outdoor advertising is one of the oldest and purest forms of communication. From the earliest painted Roman and Egyptian walls to the latest video walls and laser projections in Times Square and Piccadilly Circus: It is a dynamic, exciting exterior medium.
“Maximum meaning, minimum means” captures the essence and the penetration of Outdoor Advertising.
The earliest forms of Outdoor Advertising is perhaps between 15th and 17th century when the Church and the State would affix posters on doors of churches to make announcements and proclamations.
According to historian Frank Presbrey the first hoarding for commercial advertising appeared around 1740 when a London based textile merchant secured permission from the city council to position his shop’s advertisement bill next to the official decrees at a fee- which was the first established fee for making proclamations. Later, in 1791 France permitted individuals to put up posters, on colored paper as black & white was the exclusive prerogative of the Government.
Other forms of advertising media have always resorted to outdoor to promote themselves. Press, Theatre, Cinema, Television do not regard outdoor as a competitor: even if they are over-whelmed by the inherent advantage of outdoor advertising and use it to reach a mass transit populace. Outdoor advertising grew significantly with the growth of cars and improvements of roads.
Outdoor is old yet new, it is the oldest medium yet as we are into the new millennium arguably the most dynamic. It is primitive and yet sophisticated.
