WHY ADVERTISE

Why advertise at Myrtle Beach International Airport?

Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR) is the primary gateway to Myrtle Beach, the Grand Strand, and the Hammock Coast, one of the fastest-growing leisure and relocation markets in the United States. Many advertisers pair MYR with Charleston, SC billboards or Hilton Head OOH to extend reach across coastal South Carolina.

For advertisers, that means a captive, high-intent audience in a relaxed, decision-ready mindset.

MYR by the numbers

3,837,052 arriving and departing passengers in 2024: a record year and a ~14% increase over 2023.
Served by 10+ carriers, including Allegiant, American, Avelo, Breeze, Delta, Frontier, Porter, Southwest, Sun Country, and United.
Newly renovated terminals and an ongoing terminal expansion, creating modern, high-visibility ad environments.
Strong seasonal peaks spring through fall, with a meaningful shoulder-season and snowbird audience in winter.

Who you're reaching at MYR

Leisure travelers and vacationers planning where to golf, dine, shop, and stay.
Real estate prospects and relocators: South Carolina has topped national in-migration indices, and many MYR arrivals are scouting second homes or retirement properties.
Affluent retirees and "snowbirds" with discretionary income and time to engage with messaging.
Repeat visitors who treat the Grand Strand as an annual destination, ideal for brand-building over multiple seasons.

Airport advertising captures this audience in a way few channels can: long dwell times, no ad-blocking, no channel-surfing, and a screen-free attention window at the gate, in the concourse, and at baggage claim.

FORMATS & PLACEMENTS

MYR Airport Advertising Formats & Inventory

MYR offers a full range of out-of-home (OOH) ad formats. The right mix depends on your goal: broad awareness, a single dominant takeover, or precise placement near a relevant touchpoint.

Digital Displays & Video Walls Digital

High-impact digital out-of-home screens and video walls placed along concourses, near security, and in baggage claim.

Best for: Animated creative, multi-advertiser flexibility, and campaigns that need to launch or update quickly

Baggage Claim Advertising High Dwell

Backlit displays, wall wraps, and digital screens in the baggage claim hall, one of the highest dwell-time zones in any airport. Travelers wait several minutes here with little to distract them, making it premium real estate for brand recall.

Best for: High-dwell brand recall and immediate trip-decision influence

Static Dioramas & Backlit Displays Always-On

Illuminated, professionally lit static units throughout the terminal.

Best for: A cost-efficient way to maintain a consistent brand presence across the passenger journey

Concourse & Gate Signage Captive Wait

Interior signage and banners near gates and walkways, reaching travelers during extended wait windows before boarding.

Best for: Reaching seated, waiting travelers

Large-Format & Spectaculars Takeover

Wall wraps, hanging banners, and feature walls that dominate a high-traffic zone.

Best for: A single-brand takeover or a launch moment

Wraps, Clings & Experiential Engagement

Floor and window clings, column wraps, and interactive or branded experiences for place-based campaigns that want to stand out and drive engagement.

Best for: Standing out and driving deeper traveler engagement

COMPLIANCE

MYR Advertising Regulations & Approval Checklist

Airport advertising involves a few approval steps beyond standard OOH. Knowing them up front keeps your launch on schedule.

Creative approval

All ad creative must be reviewed and approved by the airport's advertising operator and, where required, the airport authority before production.

Content standards

Creative must meet airport content guidelines. Tobacco, certain regulated products, and political or controversial content may be restricted.

Format specifications

Each unit has exact dimensions, file formats, resolution, and bleed requirements. Build creative to spec to avoid reprints and delays.

Production lead time

Allow time for printing and installation; large-format and custom units take longer.
