Extend your reach with outdoor advertising and MTA transit ads across all five boroughs.
Airport advertising has historically lacked the attribution precision of digital channels. That's changing. Here are the measurement approaches available for LGA campaigns:
Impression counts are modeled using a combination of TSA throughput data, terminal-specific foot traffic sensors, and Port Authority passenger statistics. AdQuick provides estimated impressions and reach for every placement in your media plan.
For campaigns above a minimum spend threshold, AdQuick can facilitate brand lift studies using mobile survey panels. These measure aided/unaided recall, favorability, and purchase intent among exposed vs. control audiences.
Mobile device data can track whether travelers exposed to your LGA ads subsequently visit your retail location, dealership, or event venue. This is especially powerful for NYC-based businesses advertising to arriving passengers.
For direct-response campaigns, incorporate QR codes or campaign-specific landing page URLs into your creative. Digital placements at LGA support dynamic QR codes that can be updated mid-flight.
AdQuick's platform provides a centralized dashboard with proof-of-posting photos, flight dates, impression delivery, and any available attribution data — all in one place.

Plan to book 4–8 weeks in advance for standard digital placements and 6–12 weeks for static, vinyl, or custom installations. Peak travel seasons (November–January, June–August) sell out earlier, so booking 8–12 weeks ahead is recommended for premium placements during those periods.
