Strategy
How to choose your district.
- Follow your customer. Financial product → Central. Retail launch → Causeway Bay. Youth brand → Mong Kok. Tourist/luxury → Tsim Sha Tsui. Your audience's daily routine determines your district.
- Multi-district for coverage. Most effective campaigns cover 2-3 districts. Central + Causeway Bay covers HK Island professionals and shoppers. Mong Kok + Tsim Sha Tsui covers Kowloon mass-market and tourists. All four for city-wide impact.
- Combine transit + street. MTR station ads capture commuters inside the system. Bus and billboard capture pedestrians outside. Combining both in the same district doubles frequency and recall.
