Advertising on the Adelaide Tram network offers unmatched opportunities to elevate your brand in this growing and vibrant market. Not only is Adelaide the gateway to some of Australia’s best wine regions, but it is also the arts and leisure capital of Australia, providing the community with a lively hub of creativity and entertainment. With a population of almost 1.4 million1 and drawing in over 8 million2 domestic and international visitors a year, Adelaide is the ideal market to reach a broad audience and connect with potential customers.

WHY TRANSIT MEDIA?

In an ever-evolving media landscape, choosing the right medium is essential for success. TorchMedia’s Adelaide assets offer a blend of high visibility and targeted reach that will elevate your brand’s advertising campaign.

Offering impactful placements on the Adelaide Trams, advertisers can choose from an extensive range of Wraps, Megasides, Portraits, and Interior Landscapes to demand attention from a premium audience. The Adelaide Tram network operates across three lines from the Entertainment Centre to Botanic Gardens, Festival Plaza, and Glenelg to the CBD for unparalleled exposure.

Frequently combined with on-vehicle advertising, the Adelaide Tram Digital network provides brands the opportunity to generate greater campaign impressions. Strategically located at 13 Adelaide Tram stations in the CBD, advertising on the Digital Portraits allows brands to effectively engage with audiences and create a lasting, top-of-mind presence.

ADELAIDE IS ON BOARD

The Adelaide Tram network services an impressive 9.4 million commuter journeys each year3, offering advertisers a unique opportunity to reach a diverse audience. With an average dwell time of 22 minutes on board and 10 minutes4 on platform, advertisers have ample time to communicate their campaign message.

The Adelaide Tram network, including both on-vehicle and on-platform assets, provides extensive visibility not only to commuters but also to drivers and pedestrians. Increasing the positive impact of public transport for the community, a ‘free travel zone’ in the city’s centre further encourages commuters to utilise the Adelaide Trams. Both locals and tourists are able to take advantage of this initiative to access key attractions, business precincts, universities and more, at no cost. Advertisers are able to capitalise on this increased reach and frequency, maximising their exposure to effectively connect with audiences on the go.
