Why Local Brands Still Win With Billboard Advertising

Welcoming GHM Funerals to Our Mt Cotton Road Billboard

At Big Sign Company, we’re strong believers that great billboard advertising isn’t about shouting louder — it’s about showing up consistently, in the right place, with the right message.

That’s why we’re proud to welcome George Hartnett Metropolitan Funerals (GHM Funerals) to our Mt Cotton Road billboard.

This campaign is a perfect example of how local brands can use outdoor advertising to build trust, credibility, and long-term awareness within their community.

The Power of Local Visibility

Billboards work best when they’re:

  • Seen every day
  • Positioned on commuter routes
  • Reinforcing a message that feels relevant and familiar

Mt Cotton Road is a key arterial route connecting the Redlands to Brisbane, carrying thousands of vehicles daily. That repeated exposure means drivers don’t just see a brand once — they begin to recognise and remember it.

For service-based businesses like funeral providers, where trust and reputation matter deeply, that familiarity is invaluable.

Why Mt Cotton Road Works

Our Mt Cotton Road billboard locations are designed for high-frequency, high-impact exposure:

  • Strong weekday commuter traffic
  • Long dwell times due to traffic flow
  • Excellent reach into established residential suburbs
  • Clear sightlines for simple, effective messaging

This makes it an ideal location for brands that want to stay top of mind rather than rely on short-term, disposable advertising.

Less Is More With Billboards

One of the biggest mistakes businesses make with outdoor advertising is trying to say too much.

The GHM Funerals campaign is a great example of doing it right:

  • A clear message
  • A strong local connection
  • Clean, professional branding
  • Easy-to-remember contact details

Drivers only have a few seconds — and this billboard uses those seconds well.

A Welcome Addition to the Road

We’re delighted to have GHM Funerals live on Mt Cotton Road and supporting the local community through a strong, respectful, and well-executed outdoor campaign.

This is exactly how billboard advertising should be used:
✔️ Local
✔️ Consistent
✔️ Credible
