Bulletins, posters, digital faces, mobile billboard trucks, transit, street furniture, wallscapes, and place-based media across the Tampa–St. Petersburg–Sarasota DMA: 3.2M people, the 13th-largest market in the U.S.
St. Pete supports every major OOH format, with several categories (beach-corridor wallscapes, mobile billboards, and digital) that have grown significantly since the city's 2018 digital modernization plan.
The St. Pete core inventory. Concentrated along I-275 (Howard Frankland approach, downtown St. Pete, and the Sunshine Skyway approach), I-375 and I-175 (downtown spurs), US-19, 4th Street North, 34th Street North/South, 49th Street, Central Avenue, and Gandy Boulevard. Standard sizes: 14' x 48' bulletins for primary I-275 highway inventory and 11' x 23' posters (30-sheet) for secondary roads and neighborhood corridors. Typical St. Petersburg pricing: $1,800–$6,500 per month, premium I-275 up to $11,000.
Significantly expanded since St. Pete's 2018 Digital Plan, concentrated along I-275, I-375, US-19, and major arterials. Faces rotate every 6–8 seconds with dayparting, weather-triggered, and geo-targeted creative. Faster turnaround than static and creative swaps are free. Typical St. Petersburg pricing: $2,800–$11,500 per month for share of voice on premium corridors; $1,800–$6,500 on US-19 and local arterials.
St. Pete is one of Florida's strongest mobile-OOH markets. LED truck routes along Central Avenue, Beach Drive, the EDGE District, Tropicana Field on Rays game days, and the beach corridors (Gulf Boulevard). Hand-painted and printed wallscapes in downtown St. Petersburg, the Warehouse Arts District, the EDGE District, the Grand Central District, and Central Avenue. Typical St. Petersburg pricing: mobile billboard trucks $4,000–$18,000 per flight; wallscapes $4,000–$15,000 per month.
Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) city buses and the SunRunner bus rapid transit (St. Pete Beach ↔ downtown St. Pete): bus kings, queens, tails, interior cards, and transit hub media. Bus shelters, benches, and kiosks across downtown St. Pete, the EDGE District, Grand Central, the Old Northeast, and beach corridors. Place-based at Tropicana Field (Rays), Al Lang Stadium (Rowdies), Mahaffey Theater, the St. Pete Pier, gas station toppers, restaurant/bar networks, mall media (Tyrone Square, Sundial), and college venues at USFSP, Eckerd College, and St. Petersburg College.

Running a Tampa Bay campaign that extends across the bridges into Tampa, Brandon, Wesley Chapel, or south into Bradenton and Sarasota? AdQuick lets you build that as one PO with consolidated measurement.
You'll see "from $10/day" promos on aggregator sites. In St. Petersburg, that figure is real for entry-level poster panels on secondary roads, but it's not what you'll spend on a meaningful campaign. St. Pete is a mid-sized market with Tier-2 pricing on premium I-275 and Skyway inventory and Tier-3 pricing on most local inventory. Here's what real St. Pete campaigns actually cost.
| Format | Typical Monthly Cost (per unit) | Daily Equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| 30-sheet poster (11' x 23', secondary roads) | $400 – $1,300 | $13 – $43 |
| Static bulletin (14' x 48', highway) | $1,800 – $6,500 | $60 – $215 |
| Static bulletin (I-275, premium) | $4,500 – $11,000 | $150 – $365 |
| Digital billboard (share of voice, I-275 / I-375) | $2,800 – $11,500 | $93 – $385 |
| Digital billboard (US-19 / local arterials) | $1,800 – $6,500 | $60 – $215 |
| PSTA bus king | $450 – $1,100 | $15 – $37 |
| SunRunner BRT interior card | $400 – $900 | $13 – $30 |
| Bus shelter (downtown / corridor) | $700 – $1,800 | $23 – $60 |
| Wallscape (downtown / Central Ave) | $4,000 – $15,000 | $135 – $500 |
| Place-based (Tropicana Field, malls) | $1,200 – $5,500 | $40 – $185 |
| Mobile billboard truck (per flight) | $4,000 – $18,000 | Varies |
| Tampa Bay-wide campaign (10+ units) | $20,000 – $120,000/mo | Varies |
In 2018, the City of St. Petersburg passed a digital modernization plan for outdoor advertising: a multi-year agreement that allowed conversion of legacy static structures to digital billboards in exchange for significant reductions in total billboard count and structural commitments around brightness, dwell time, and placement.
This is genuinely useful context that almost no other St. Petersburg landing page covers, and it directly affects how you should plan a campaign here. AdQuick's St. Pete inventory reflects the post-2018 reality: digital-heavy on premium corridors, with static still strong in select neighborhoods and along less-converted arterials.
Outdoor advertising in St. Petersburg is governed by three overlapping authorities. Most are downstream of the 2018 Digital Plan above.
The City of St. Petersburg Code of Ordinances (Chapter 16, Land Development Regulations: Sign Standards) regulates on-premise and off-premise signs inside city limits, as updated by the 2018 Digital Plan agreement.
Pinellas County (unincorporated areas), Clearwater, Largo, Pinellas Park, St. Pete Beach, Treasure Island, Seminole, and Dunedin each have their own sign codes.
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) regulates billboards along interstate and federal-aid primary highways under Chapter 479, Florida Statutes.
Florida content restrictions apply across categories. AdQuick reviews creative against each market's standards before posting.
Because St. Pete's billboard count is capped under the digital plan, premium inventory is genuinely finite. Lock in I-275, Skyway-approach, downtown, and beach-corridor flights 60–90 days ahead for snowbird season, spring break, summer tourism, and Q4 retail. Secondary corridors and Tampa Bay-wide regional buys have more flexibility (21–45 days); programmatic DOOH in as little as 7.
AdQuick is media-owner-agnostic. We aggregate inventory from every major operator covering St. Petersburg and Tampa Bay so you can compare on one map.
Strong Tampa Bay digital network and a party to the 2018 St. Petersburg digital plan. Digital faces, bulletins, and wallscapes across the metro.

Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority bus advertising and SunRunner BRT (St. Pete Beach ↔ downtown) station and vehicle media via concessionaire. Best for downtown workers, beach commuters, and lower-income consumer audiences.
Pinellas and Tampa Bay have a meaningful long tail of small operators concentrated on neighborhood corridors and secondary roads. Often the best CPMs in market for hyper-local plans.
On AdQuick, you can filter by vendor, by format, or (usually smarter) by audience and corridor, and let the platform surface the best units across national owners, local Tampa Bay operators, mobile billboard networks, and transit concessions, with the same pricing format, same impression data, and same measurement.
AdQuick is the out-of-home advertising platform that lets you compare, plan, and buy across every St. Petersburg media owner (Clear Channel Outdoor, Lamar, OUTFRONT, The Ad Focus, DAT Media, American Mobile Ads, PSTA transit, and the Pinellas long tail of independents), plus every programmatic DSP buying Tampa Bay digital faces. Static bulletins, posters, digital boards, mobile billboard trucks, transit, street furniture, wallscapes, and place-based media in a single workflow. St. Pete-only or Tampa Bay-wide (Tampa, Clearwater, Brandon, Sarasota) in one PO with consolidated measurement.
There are two ways to buy a billboard in St. Petersburg: direct from each media owner (Clear Channel, Lamar, OUTFRONT, The Ad Focus, DAT, American Mobile Ads), which typically requires 5–8 separate sales conversations for a meaningful St. Pete or Tampa Bay buy, or through AdQuick, where you see inventory from every owner on one map with standardized pricing and impression data. One conversation, one PO, one measurement report.
