About us

We put your event where nobody can scroll past it.

The Poster People is a national media company built on one simple belief: real-world visibility beats a feed. We help event organisers, brands and institutions get seen by the people who matter, on the routes they already travel every day.

We're the team that plans, arranges permits and executes the whole campaign, so our clients can focus on their event and/or brand getting out there instead of chasing logistics. Every campaign is treated as our own, from the first call to the final take-down.

Operating nationally, we've built our reputation on reliability, attention to detail, and campaigns that run exactly as promised — every time. Take a look at what we do below, or get in touch to talk about your event.

National event poster campaigns

Put your event on the routes your market already travels.

We manage the full campaign — printing, council approval and on-the-ground execution — so your posters go up on the right routes, on time, every time.

Why it works

Your events, on the street — not lost in a feed.

A poster on a route your audience already travels gets seen every single day of the campaign, by everyone who passes — no algorithm, no scroll, no skip.

How it works

Three steps, one team.

1. Print

High-quality A1 posters, built to last the full campaign.

2. Council Approval

We handle the permitting process on your behalf, securing the necessary approvals so your campaign runs entirely above board.

3. Campaign Execution

Our team rigs your posters on high-traffic routes in your chosen city, timed precisely to your event date.

Mobile format

Mobile Trailer Advertising

Monthly mobile billboard campaigns, with static trailer options, at rates built to make national activation simple. Our sub-contractors run their own large-format digital printing, keeping production costs down without compromising on print quality or execution.

Advertising that moves with your market.

Why mobile trailers

Break through the clutter.

  • Get noticed — break through the advertising clutter and reach more people
  • Go directly to where your customers — or your competitors' — already are
  • Reach areas where a static billboard would never get planning permission
  • A full-colour, two-sided unit dedicated entirely to your brand, at a cost other media can't match
What you get

One call, everything handled.

  • Board: 3m x 6m per side, two-sided, full-colour canvas
  • Campaign length: 7 days, 2 weeks or monthly
  • Included: tow vehicle, trailer, driver, fuel and insurance
  • Reporting: daily WhatsApp updates, route schedule and council permits

Same national footprint as our poster campaigns — Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town and Durban. Activating a small local campaign or a large multi-trailer national run is as easy as making one call.
