Increase brand awareness: Why trade fairs and events need a strong advertising presence
International flagship trade fairs such as Gamescom Cologne, the Frankfurt Book Fair, Hannover Messe and ITB Berlin attract visitors from all over the world every year. Thousands of brands compete for visibility and reach.
Successful trade fair marketing therefore no longer focuses solely on being present directly at the event venue. Additional touchpoints before and after the actual event are becoming increasingly important, especially along the travel routes of international visitors.
Advertising contacts are particularly relevant:
before travelling to the trade fair
immediately before entering the event venue
during the return journey
after the actual event to create lasting brand awareness
Airport advertising as a strategic touchpoint in trade fair marketing
Airports are among the most effective advertising environments for trade fairs and events. They bring together international business travellers, trade visitors and decision-makers in a premium business environment with high levels of attention.
Together wird partner airports throughout Germany, Media Frankfurt creates targeted advertising opportunities around national and international trade fair and event locations. This makes it possible to reach relevant target groups before they even attend the trade fair and to reinforce advertising messages throughout the entire journey.

More than traditional outdoor advertising
In the context of trade fairs, airport advertising is much more than traditional outdoor advertising. It combines international reach with high-value business target groups and creates advertising contacts in a relevant decision-making environment.
One particularly effective advantage is the opportunity to reach trade fair visitors immediately before the event and direct them specifically to your own exhibition stand. This creates and additional nudge along the customer journey before visitors even enter the actual trade fair venue.
This is particularly beneficial for:
event organizers who want to generate awareness for their events at an early stage
sponsors who want to extend their brand presence beyond the trade fair grounds
exhibitors who want to reach visitors before the actual trade fair interaction
International marketing: International reach through airport advertising
In addition to trade fairs, major international events also offer attractive advertising opportunities. Sporting events such as the FIFA World Cup, Formula 1 and the tennis Grand Slams, as well as international concert tours by world-famous artists, attract millions of travellers every year.
As an international hub, Frankfurt Airport connects Germany with Europe and the rest of the world. Together with our partner airport network, you can reach event visitors and business travellers throughout their entire journey and place your brand message where their journey begins.

Advertising messages accompany business travellers throughout their entire journey, creating additional high-quality touchpoints before, during and after their trade fair visit.
