Tap Into High-Growth Consumer Segments With Strategic Munich Advertising
Munich has long been a draw for brand advertisers looking to promote products, brands and services to a diverse audience. The city is both the capital of Bavaria, a hub for business, and home to global corporations ranging from Siemens to BMW, which has its head offices in Am Riesenfeld.
The vibrant business sector, coupled with the influx of tourists every year, makes the city a perfect location for advertising brands to varied target audiences. Visitors travel to enjoy the historical architecture, head to the German Alps for the winter sports season, or, of course, stay in Munich during the famous Oktoberfest celebrations.
Alongside hosting the largest beer festival in the world, Munich has a population of over 1.5 million making it an ideal location to enter or expand into the German market with OOH advertising. The population spikes in peak tourism periods, with more than 8.5 million travellers to the city every year, of whom 3.4 million are international.
Why Advertise in Munich?
Germany's third-largest city is a unique environment for advertising. Its eclectic blend of culture, history, tradition, and contemporary design, technology, and fashion creates an excellent setting for brands to engage with multicultural audiences.
The highly effective public transport system, which ranges from S-Bahn commuter trains to tram lines, city buses, and the U-Bahn underground, and Munich Airport—one of the busiest in Europe—provide varied locations for billboards, digital ad displays and eye-level advertising directly in front of commuters, businesspeople, and visitors.
Part of the draw for advertising in munich this unusual mixture of commercial and tourism markets, with the Munich industries largely based around engineering, automotive, technology, and biotech. This is why the localised economy is the strongest in Germany, with an incredibly low unemployment rate, resulting in higher levels of consumer affluence and interest in new brand offers.

Frequently Asked Questions.
-
Munich's population makes it the third-largest German city. Still, its position as the capital of Bavaria and a modern, vibrant and tourist-friendly city often means it is the most desirable marketing destination, with lower advertising costs than Berlin and more engaged audiences than Hamburg.
The wider metropolitan area stretches far beyond the city centre, with the highest population density within Germany and over 6.2 million residents within the outer city limits.
The two research universities within Munich and the global tourism market mean that the city has gradually expanded every year since the millennium, in contrast to declines nationwide in population. This provides a backdrop of growth, prosperity, and investment across sectors and markets.
-
Much may depend on the nature and focus of your campaigns. Although many brands opt to showcase promotions during Oktoberfest, a highlight in the events calendar when almost 7 million people travel to the city, there are also various other opportunities to reach large audiences.
The festive season, with countless tourists arriving to attend the Munich Christmas Market, Munich Opera Festival, football and sporting events hosted at the Allianz Arena, and the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität summer festival, all welcome large visitor numbers.
Brands are welcome to contact the One Day team to discuss their campaign objectives and plans, and we’ll be happy to run through the varied timings, media buying opportunities, advertising placements and billboard formats available in Munich that tie into your overarching targets and advertising goals.
