Amsterdam Campaign FAQ

How does walking billboard advertising work in Amsterdam's cycling culture?
Amsterdam's pedestrian zones are actually excellent for walking billboards precisely because they're separated from cycling lanes. Shopping streets like Kalverstraat, market areas like Albert Cuyp, and museum districts are pedestrian-only zones with dense foot traffic. Our ambassadors operate in these designated walking areas where foot traffic concentration is highest.
Do I need a permit for advertising in Amsterdam?
Walking billboard advertising with personal wearable displays does not require a traditional vergunning (permit) from the municipality of Amsterdam. Unlike fixed outdoor advertising which requires gemeente approval, worn backpack displays are classified as personal items. We ensure all creative content complies with Dutch advertising code (Reclame Code Commissie) standards.
Can I run campaigns during Amsterdam events like King's Day or ADE?
Absolutely. Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), King's Day, Gay Pride Canal Parade, SAIL Amsterdam, and IBC are our peak campaign periods. During King's Day alone, 1 million+ visitors flood the city center. We offer event surge packages with 5-15 ambassadors strategically positioned along event routes and gathering points.
What languages should my campaign creative use?
Amsterdam is one of Europe's most international cities with 180+ nationalities. 95% of the population speaks English, so English-only creatives perform well. For maximum local impact, we recommend bilingual Dutch/English rotation. Our LCD screens can dynamically switch between language versions throughout the day.
