Tramcar Body Advertising
香港電車車身廣告
Turn an entire double-decker tram into a giant mobile 3D billboard, gliding through the busiest commercial districts with 100% visual dominance over its own exterior — the ultimate dream medium for brands chasing city-wide impact, and for fan clubs building a giant moving photo spot for their idol.

Two Campaign Ecosystems
Commercial
A Moving Artwork That Tells a Story
Designers use the double-decker's windows and body lines to turn the tram into a "giant moving fish tank" or a "time machine," prompting passers-by to reach for their phones to take a photo.
Brands can display an approachable, everyday-product message on the pavement-facing side and a premium brand image on the road-facing side — one tram, two audiences.
Fan Club Tribute
A City-Touring Tribute Tram
Fan clubs wrap the entire double-decker in ultra-high-resolution close-ups of their idol, stage photos, and birthday tribute messages spanning the full length of the tram.
Fan clubs lock in the tribute tram's licence plate number ahead of time and share "tram-chasing guides" on social media, drawing crowds to Causeway Bay footbridges or tram stops to catch the tram as it passes.
Hidden Notes / Placement Tips
- A tram body has many moving parts and fixed obstructions (door handles, window frames, ventilation grilles) — artwork must be checked strictly against the agency's die-line template to avoid key visuals landing on window gaps or vents.
- Quotes are usually split into "media rental" and "production and installation" — since the body's large surface area is exposed to weather long-term, production cost is calculated separately.
- There are only just over 100 trams in all of Hong Kong, so commercial slots are extremely limited — we recommend reserving a slot and submitting artwork for approval 1–2 months ahead.
