About Clear Channel
Clear Channel UK is one of the world’s leading Out of Home media owners with more than 40,000 sites nationwide. You’ll find Clear Channel advertising from Inverness in Scotland to Truro in Cornwall and in every major urban area in between.


Who we are
From classic Adshel bus stops to premium digital, we help brands meet people throughout the UK. Our talented and dedicated team of more than 650 people work in 14 locations nationwide to create and post stunning advertising, as well as cleaning and maintaining street furniture, making the urban environment better for local communities.

We have long-term partnerships with advertisers, agencies, landlords and local authorities, helping advertisers reach people in public spaces on our classic and digital platforms across the country.


What we do
We work closely with advertisers to create beautiful, effective Out of Home advertising.

We continually invest in the highest quality sites, newest technologies and latest planning tools to connect brands with people at the right time, in the right place.

Our nationwide portfolio offers advertisers three key benefits: Reach, Activation and Fame.

Classic Adshel, our iconic traditional 6-sheet, delivers impressive Reach across the country. Our digital estate, which includes Adshel Live, Sainsbury’s live, Asda Live and Malls Live, delivers campaign Activation through flexibility, immediacy and context. Storm, our super premium brand, and Wrap, our digital billboard network, build brand Fame with impressive architectural design and state-of-the-art digital screens.

Our scale means we deliver campaigns that reach people throughout the UK. It also means we have the ability to reach local communities or groups of people with pinpoint precision.

We have also won awards for our Fleet Management and have been shortlisted for the Green Business Awards three years running.

We have implemented an Environmental Sustainability Policy and set ambitious targets every year. All Clear Channel’s offices and depots are ISO14001 accredited and 99.8% of our waste is sent away from landfill.

Corporate responsibility
Clear Channel has strong links with the communities in which we operate. We work hard to improve the infrastructure of local communities, develop partnerships with charities and sponsor local causes. We support dozens of charities every year.

Our partner charities are:

The Prince’s Trust – we have worked with the Trust for over ten years and are proud to be a Silver Patron.

Trees for Cities – are partnering with New World Payphones to create a lasting environmental legacy.

Inspire – develop and deliver programmes with the support of our employees, that enable young people to learn about work and gain practical experience of the skills and attributes they need for employment.

Media Trust – work with us and the wider media industry to empower charities and communities to have a voice and be heard.
Clear Channel UK also pledges to show significant support for one partner charity every Christmas, via their new initiative, “The Christmas Charity Partnership”, by donating a significant volume of relevant inventory, for a single festive campaign. London’s Air Ambulance is the first charity to benefit in 2017, with its “It wouldn’t be Christmas for us without London’s Air Ambulance” campaign.

We also donate free advertising to Missing People, a charity set up to help locate the 250,000 people that run away and go missing every year. Our relationship with the charity is coordinated through Outsmart, the trade body for Out of Home media owners.
