Digital Billboards for OOH Operators
Watchfire builds digital billboards trusted by out-of-home operators to maximize uptime, minimize maintenance, and keep ad revenue flowing, while delivering stunning visuals and reliable performance on high-traffic roadways. More than 600 independent operators trust Watchfire for their signage needs, and 90% of our electronic billboards remain in operation after a decade, demonstrating our long-term quality and reliability.
What is a Digital Billboard?
A digital billboard is an LED display used for out-of-home advertising, typically installed along a highway or arterial road and sold as rotating ad inventory. Unlike a static billboard, which carries one printed vinyl at a time, a digital billboard rotates between multiple advertisers on a fixed schedule, so one structure can generate revenue from several accounts at once. Digital billboards are also different from on-premise electronic message centers: a billboard sells third-party advertising, while a message center promotes the business it sits in front of. Watchfire manufactures both. Digital billboards typically use a pixel pitch between 6mm and 19mm, depending on how far away drivers see the display.
