In modern cities, immersed in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it is difficult to stand out.

This is why in particular and sometimes uncommon but still very effective communication methods, such as information and advertising, totems come into play: they are the true pillars of urban communication and stand proudly along the streets, capturing the attention of passers-by and communicating messages of various kinds.

But what exactly are these totems and what is their communicative impact? Let us look at them together.

What are advertising totems for?

Information or advertising totems are vertical structures usually placed near bus shelters, along streets or in city squares. They are designed to be visible from afar and to offer an elite advertising or communication space for companies and institutions wishing to promote their products, services or messages.

But their function goes far beyond mere advertising.

Imagine being in an unfamiliar city, in the pouring rain, waiting for your bus. The bus shelter becomes a refuge, a place where you can shelter from the weather, consult bus timetables and, thanks to the advertising totems, stay informed about events, special offers or important messages about the city.

Bus shelters are not just a stopping point, but become an essential element of urban design, enhancing and improving citizens’ quality of life.
