Capture high-intent travelers at Oakland (OAK). Plan and buy airport OOH across digital and static formats through AdQuick.
Oakland International Airport is one of the San Francisco Bay Area's busiest commercial airports, serving a diverse mix of business travelers, tech professionals, and Bay Area commuters. OAK provides advertisers with concentrated dwell time, a captive audience, and premium visibility that's hard to replicate in any other out-of-home environment.
Key audience stats for OAK advertisers:
Whether you're a national brand launching a Bay Area campaign or a local business targeting Oakland travelers, airport advertising at OAK puts your message in front of an engaged, affluent audience with nowhere else to look.
OAK offers a full range of advertising formats across Terminal 1, Terminal 2, baggage claim, and curbside areas. Here's a breakdown of every Oakland airport ad format available through AdQuick:
High-resolution LED and LCD screens placed in high-traffic terminal corridors, gate areas, and baggage claim halls. Digital formats allow for dynamic creative, dayparting, and real-time messaging updates — ideal for time-sensitive promotions and multi-creative rotations.
Large-format backlit transparencies (duratrans) and traditional banners positioned along terminal hallways, near security checkpoints, and in concourse walkways. These placements deliver sustained visibility with 24/7 exposure to every traveler passing through.
Oversized, dominating ad placements in premium high-visibility locations such as terminal entryways and connector corridors. Spectaculars at OAK are ideal for brand launches, awareness campaigns, and making an unmissable impression on arriving and departing passengers.
Rotating three-sided panels that cycle between multiple advertisers, positioned in key terminal sightlines. Tri-visions combine the impact of a large static display with the attention-grabbing motion of rotating creative.
Illuminated scrolling poster units that rotate through multiple ad panels in a single high-traffic location. Scrollers are a cost-effective way to maintain presence in premium terminal areas alongside other brands.
Capture travelers at the moment they arrive. Baggage claim carousels, curbside columns, and ground transportation areas offer valuable last-impression placements — perfect for rideshare, hospitality, rental car, and local service advertisers.
Extend your reach beyond the terminal. Digital billboards along I-880 near Oakland International Airport target the 200,000+ daily vehicles passing through the airport corridor, reinforcing your in-terminal campaign or running standalone highway-visible creative.
