Vehicle advertising in Swansea

City & County of Swansea Environment & Transport Fleet Mobile marketing vehicles

Make your advert a moving billboard with this new, unique and eye catching way of creating brand awareness in our community.

Mobile marketing vehicles The City & County of Swansea Council has been promoting its own events, safety and recycling messages on the side of its vehicles for a number of years, and we would now like to expand this opportunity to other businesses and organisations.

We have over 300 vehicles with 50 recycling and 24 refuse collection vehicles in the fleet alone, which between them pass every household in the city.

Advertising on vehicles creates a moving canvas to promote your business to residents and the local community, as the vehicles never leave local roads.

This is a perfect way for national, regional and local businesses to promote their services and products to the community.

Our clear and consistently branded vehicles mean residents are able to recognise council vehicles immediately wherever they are and will raise profile of the council services and commercial messages.

The most appropriate style of livery depends on the vehicle itself, the service and how the vehicle will be used will determine the size of advertisement.
