Valentine’s Day Advertisements That Get Noticed

Love is in the air, and consumers LOVE Valentine’s Day advertisements. Holidays change how people move, shop, and feel, and that’s exactly why seasonal out-of-home (OOH) advertising works. When audiences are already out in the world and emotionally engaged, billboard advertising becomes one of the most powerful ways for brands to connect in real time. It works precisely because it shows up at the right moment, in the right place, when audiences are most receptive.

Seasonal billboard advertising meets people where they are in the real world, aligning brand messaging with real-life behaviors and emotions. As brand marketing becomes an increasingly important part of holiday strategies, OOH advertising continues to rise as one of the most effective channels for building awareness. During holidays and seasonal events, people are more likely to travel, shop, dine out, and attend events—driving higher foot traffic, vehicle traffic, and overall public engagement. That increased movement translates directly into greater visibility and impact for out-of-home campaigns.

Beyond visibility, emotion plays a powerful role in effectiveness. Seasonal moments naturally heighten emotional connection, making ads more memorable and meaningful. With Valentine’s Day approaching, feelings of love, humor, and connection create the perfect opportunity for brands to stand out through creative Valentine’s Day advertisements. This Valentine’s Day, we’re taking a look back at some of our favorite Adams Outdoor Advertising Valentine’s Day campaigns from years past—creative executions that stopped us in our tracks and reminded us why seasonal out-of-home advertising works so well.

Adams Outdoor Advertising Charlotte Billboard Acquisition

Adams Outdoor Advertising acquisition announcement featuring Parkway Advertising Corporation, highlighting 15 new billboard assets expanding Charlotte airport corridor coverage.

📢 Read the full press release on Business Wire

Adams Outdoor Advertising is excited to announce that it has completed a Charlotte billboard acquisition of select assets from Parkway Outdoor, further strengthening its leadership position in the Charlotte, North Carolina out-of-home advertising market.

As part of this transaction, the transaction includes 15 billboard assets, comprised of 14 static faces and one digital display.

Strengthening a Dominant Charlotte Billboard Footprint

With this strategic tuck-in acquisition, Adams Outdoor enhances its already dominant presence in the Charlotte out-of-home advertising market. Specifically, the addition brings highly desirable billboard inventory along key transportation corridors most heavily used by travelers heading to and from Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT).

Notably, several of the newly acquired assets are located along major arteries such as I-77, a primary route for daily commuters, airport traffic, and regional travel. As a result, these corridors deliver consistent, high-volume exposure, making them especially valuable for advertisers seeking reliable reach and visibility.

Capitalizing on CLT Airport Growth and High-Traffic Corridors

Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) continues to demonstrate sustained, long-term growth, now serving nearly 60 million passengers annually and thereby ranking among the busiest airports in the United States.

Importantly, a significant portion of this passenger volume consists of local origin-and-destination travelers who access the airport via Charlotte’s primary highway corridors—many of which, notably, are directly served by Adams Outdoors’s newly acquired billboard assets. As CLT continues to expand capacity to meet rising demand, these high-traffic access routes, in turn, represent durable, high-value exposure that not only strengthens asset quality but also drives advertiser demand and reinforces long-term market fundamentals.

CEO Perspective:
A Must-Have Market for Advertisers

“Charlotte is a must-have market for advertisers, and market ownership here continues to be a key strategic priority for Adams Outdoor. This acquisition further solidifies our position as the dominant out-of-home provider in Charlotte and strengthens our ability to deliver unmatched reach along the market’s most important travel corridors.”

Kevin Jones, CEO of Adams Outdoor Advertising

Meet Adams Corporate Leadership

With this acquisition, the Charlotte DMA now includes 68 Adams Outdoor digital billboards, a milestone that not only highlights our commitment to innovation and strategic growth but also reinforces our ability to create standout advertising opportunities across the Carolinas.

Looking Ahead

As Charlotte continues to grow and traffic along key commuter and airport corridors increases, these new billboard assets create fresh opportunities for advertisers to reach a larger, more diverse, and rapidly expanding audience.

Adams Capture: Connecting Billboards to the Digital World

In today’s digital world, audiences no longer live in one channel. While it’s true that the world is becoming increasingly desensitized to digital advertisements, digital is still one of the greatest ways to connect with specific demographics and encourage them to take direct action.

Out-of-home advertising boldly meets audiences right where they are in the real world, despite whatever digital echo chamber they may be subscribed to. But now, we’re able to enhance its reach with the power of digital integration. When we combine the unique strengths of both mediums through cross-channel marketing, we can successfully connect OOH exposure with measurable digital impact.

That’s where Adams Capture comes in. Adams Capture bridges that gap, combining billboard visibility with data-driven digital retargeting.


What Is Adams Capture?

To put it simply, Adams Capture allows brands that partner with Adams Outdoor Advertising to follow and reconnect with audiences who have seen their billboard message.

We’re able to retarget those audiences through non-outdoor digital channels, including:

Through billboard retargeting and digital attribution, we can turn a single billboard impression into a full-funnel digital marketing opportunity.


Turning OOH Exposure into Digital Action

Here’s how it all comes together:

The Power of Unified Messaging

Adams Capture amplifies a campaign by reintroducing a brand’s message, over and over again, in the target audience’s digital realm through repetitive, multi-screen experiences. A single, consistent message across OOH and digital channels increases brand recall and response rates.

Studies have consistently shown that repetition strengthens recall and positive brand perception. According to a meta-analysis by Schmidt and Eisend (2015), consumer attitudes toward a brand peak around ten ad exposures, while recall continues to rise even beyond eight exposures — clear evidence that repetition helps messages stick in the mind.


Why Choose Adams Capture?
