The Western Cape Government has realised the need to utilise an advertising medium that would ensure an effective reach to each person in every community throughout the city of Cape Town, West Coast and Overberg regions. To assist authorities in the quest to reach as many people in the province as possible, experts in outdoor media New Wave Outdoor Media have been tasked with this important communication printing and flighting over 9,500 posters with decisive messaging on safety protocols. It was determined that street pole posters would provide the best means to achieve this goal and reach the objective which is to put the sanctioned posters on all street poles that are legally allowed to be utilised in this manner.

This messaging includes the below aimed at keeping family and friends safe from the threat of Covid-19:

  • The importance of washing your hands
  • Keeping a safe distance from other people when out in public areas
  • If you feel unwell stay at home and isolate from other people
  • Do not socialise/visit family and friends especially ones that are most vulnerable including grandparents

New Wave Outdoor Media deemed it an honour to be able to contribute and provide this particular poster solution with its critical education to as much of the province’s population as possible.
