Urban advertising
Urban advertising. Right on the street.
Brands want to reach people where they walk, shop, work, travel, eat and socialise. Shutter advertising transforms otherwise unused closed-shop frontage into visible urban advertising space.
The street is the media space.

The opportunity
Closed shutter → advertising space → brand exposure
When many retail premises close, the shutter becomes one of the largest visible surfaces on the frontage. Shutter advertising uses that surface as part of an urban advertising campaign.
The shutter remains a working part of the premises. Suitability, access, artwork and installation are assessed for each proposed location.

Shutter advertising FAQs
What is shutter advertising?
Shutter advertising uses the large visible surface of a closed roller shutter as street-level advertising space. Campaign artwork is produced as graphics and fitted to the shutter.
What is urban shutter advertising?
Urban shutter advertising places brand campaigns on roller shutters in the streets, neighbourhoods and retail areas where people walk, shop, work, travel, eat and socialise.
Can you advertise on roller shutters?
Yes. A suitable roller shutter can carry printed graphics while continuing to open and close. Each proposed site must be checked before artwork and production are confirmed.
Where is shutter advertising available in the UK?
Shutter Media discusses opportunities across the UK, including major towns and cities. Availability varies by campaign area and date, so every location request is checked rather than assumed.
Can I target shutter advertising by postcode?
Yes. A brief can specify cities, postcodes, neighbourhoods or streets. Shutter Media then identifies suitable shutter advertising opportunities in the requested area.
Can I request a particular street?
Yes. Include the street or area in the campaign brief. A request does not guarantee availability, but it gives the location team a precise area to investigate.
Can shutter advertising be used for national campaigns?
Potentially. Multiple available locations can be combined for local, city-wide, multi-city or national activity. The final plan depends on the brief and confirmed site availability.
Does Shutter Media print and install the campaign?
Yes. Shutter Media can discuss locations, prepare artwork, produce the graphics and arrange professional installation as one coordinated campaign service.
How does roller shutter advertising work?
The advertiser supplies a brief and target area. Shutter Media identifies suitable shutters, agrees the sites, prepares campaign artwork, prints the graphics and installs them on the shutter.
Where can I advertise on shop shutters?
Shop shutter advertising suits high streets, shopping areas, city centres, retail parades, pedestrian routes and night-time economy areas. Each proposed frontage is checked for suitability before it is offered.
How are advertising graphics installed on roller shutters?
Printed vinyl graphics are applied to the closed shutter by an installation team, usually outside trading hours. The shutter continues to open and close as normal afterwards.
How long can a shutter advertising campaign run?
Campaign length is agreed per site. Graphics can be produced for a short burst or for a longer period, and can be removed or replaced at the end of the agreed term.
Is shutter advertising suitable for major brands?
Yes. The Shutter Media archive includes large-format shutter installations carrying artwork for well-known brands, produced and installed to a commercial standard.
