How do I get started with bus advertising in Geelong?

Great! First you will need to decide on what type of bus advert suits your requirements, how many you would like and the duration. We will then send an invoice for the deposit amount, which covers the cost of printing. Once the deposit is received, we will print your bus advertisement and book it in for installation on your requested date.

Does Big Bus Media offer payment plans?

Yes! You will be required to pay the deposit upfront, and the remainder will be billed monthly depending on the duration you have chosen.

Is there a minimum duration for bus advertising?

No — you can have your bus advertisement running for as little or as long as you wish. We do recommend a minimum of 6 weeks as it delivers better value for money and allows enough time for your audience to see and remember your message.

Can I combine different bus advertising formats?

Absolutely. Big Bus Media can create a custom bus advertising package if you would like a mixture of ad types such as a bus back, side panel, or bus wrap. If you have a specific budget in mind, we can tailor a package to suit. Please contact us directly for a custom quotation.

Where do the buses travel in Geelong?

Our buses operate on rotating routes 5–7 days a week, up to 10–14 hours per day, ensuring continuous exposure across Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula, and the Surf Coast. Unlike advertising in newspapers, magazines, or radio, bus advertising delivers high-impact, standalone messaging with unparalleled reach and value.

I don't have artwork — can Big Bus Media help with design?

No problem! If you don't have a design for your bus advertisement, our in-house team can create one for you. Design is charged at an hourly rate of $100 + GST, which is separate from the cost of your advert. Alternatively, we can provide an artwork template for you to work from.

How do I supply artwork for my bus advertisement?

Artwork must be supplied as a PDF with all fonts embedded or converted to outlines. Please note that all artwork is subject to approval by Big Bus Media. Any artwork containing political, sexually explicit, racial, or offensive material will not be accepted and your deposit will be refunded.

Can I terminate my bus advertising contract early?

Yes, you can terminate your bus advertising contract early if needed. A fee equivalent to 3 months of advertising space will apply and please note that deposits are non-refundable.

What happens when my bus advertising contract ends?

At the end of your contract you can choose to have your advert removed, or simply extend month-by-month to keep your brand on the move across Geelong and surrounding areas.

What happens if my bus advertisement is damaged?

In the unlikely event your bus advertisement is damaged, Big Bus Media will be notified by the bus operator and we will arrange a repair as soon as possible — keeping your brand looking its best on the road.
