Looking to give your brand a bold boost? Aerial advertising is one of the most creative and high-impact ways to capture attention. Whether it’s a sky-high banner trailing a plane or a typed message written across the sky by a formation of aircraft, nothing turns heads quite like a message in the clouds. But timing and location are everything. Wondering where your campaign should take flight? Here’s a breakdown of the best places and events for aerial advertising that will give your brand the attention it deserves.
Big-Time Sports Events
Massive games like the Super Bowl, World Cup, or even Formula 1 races offer prime exposure. While we can’t fly during the game itself (airspace restrictions are real!), we can fly during the lead-up festivities, fan tailgates, and days before the main event. That’s when people are energized, hyped, and looking to soak in the experience—and your brand can be part of that.
Music Festivals and Outdoor Concerts
Festivals like Lollapalooza, Ultra, and Coachella attract huge, camera-happy crowds. Aerial messages flying above the stages make for epic photo ops, and with the right message or hashtag, you might just start trending.
Tourist Hotspots
Flying banners above high-traffic tourist destinations like the beaches of Miami, the Hamptons, or Los Angeles piers means your brand gets seen by visitors from all over the globe. These areas are ideal during peak seasons when crowds are thick and looking up.

- Downtowns and Busy Cities
Major metros like Chicago, NYC, and LA are perfect for weekday flyovers. Whether it’s rush hour traffic or a weekend festival, urban areas provide non-stop foot traffic and high visibility. - Tailgates and Fan Zones
Not everyone gets into the stadium, but thousands gather outside. NFL fan zones, college football tailgates, and public viewing areas are ideal for aerial advertising. It’s a great way to surprise and engage fans when their eyes are already on the sky. - Convention Centers
Big business events happen year-round in places like Orlando, Las Vegas, and Anaheim. Aerial advertising nearby is a clever way to catch the eye of decision-makers during downtime or lunch breaks. - Parades and Local Festivals
Community events like Pride parades, Mardi Gras, and city street fairs are full of energy—and people. A well-timed flyover can feel like an unofficial sponsor moment, sparking conversation and photos.
- Downtowns and Busy Cities
- Industry Trade Shows
Trade show attendees are always looking for the next big thing. Flying your brand above Comic-Con or CES can guide people to your booth or product launch—especially with a bold skywriting message. - Holidays and Long Weekends
Think Memorial Day, Labor Day, July 4th—long weekends are packed with outdoor fun, and your brand can soar right into the action. With a catchy deal or promo, you can turn heads and drive real-time action. - Fairs and Celebrations
State fairs, food festivals, and cultural celebrations draw crowds in the millions. Whether you’re promoting a product or just building awareness, aerial ads in these settings stand out and spark buzz.
