What happened

Instead of treating each screen as a separate placement, the execution stitched together dozens of units along a single corridor to create the feeling of a continuous takeover—more like dominance than typical multi-site buying.

The key move: turn one route into one repeating brand “scene,” not fifty separate impressions.

Why this format is powerful

A roadblock isn’t just reach. It’s perception engineering:

  • Repeated exposure in minutes (frequency compresses fast on a commute)
  • A visible sense the brand is everywhere on that route
  • Higher memorability because the pattern is unmistakable

The result is a psychological shift: the audience doesn’t experience a “campaign across screens.” They experience a corridor that feels branded end-to-end.

The planning lesson

When a brand wants share of attention (not just impressions), roadblocks can outperform scattered placements—especially on routes with heavy daily repetition. The strongest use case is simple: pick a corridor where your audience repeats behavior, then make your presence impossible to miss.

A practical roadblock checklist

  • Choose one corridor with high repeat travel (commute routes win)
  • Own continuity (cluster screens so the takeover feels “unbroken”)
  • Standardize creative cues (same palette / icon / headline structure)
  • Measure beyond delivery (brand lift, recall, search lift by corridor markets when possible)
Takeaway: Roadblocks work when the audience notices the pattern. Make the pattern obvious.
