Advertise on a Billboard for a Day. Or an Hour.
Run a single day from £10-£15 per screen, or an hour from £5. No contracts, no minimum spend, no agency.
Get StartedWhy It Works
The old way to book a billboard was to buy it by the fortnight. You called an agency, committed to weeks you didn't need, met a minimum spend you couldn't justify, and waited. A one-day run wasn't an option, because the whole system was built around long campaigns and big budgets.
FameCake handed the screens straight to you. Post to a real digital billboard for a single day at £10-£15 per screen, or run a one-hour text message from £5. No contract, no minimum spend, no agency. Go live in minutes, run for exactly as long as you need, and stop.
How It Works
Pick Your Day
Choose a screen and the exact day or hour you want to run. Today, this Saturday, or the day of your event.
Upload or Create
Upload your own ad or let our AI design one in seconds. A text post needs nothing but your message.
Run and Stop
Your ad goes live and comes down on its own when the day or hour ends. No cancelling, no rolling spend.
Short-run billboards vs the old way
| Feature | FameCake, by the day | The old agency booking |
|---|---|---|
| Shortest run | One hour, from £5 | Two weeks, often longer |
| Minimum spend | None, pay per run | Thousands before you start |
| Lead time | Live in minutes | Three weeks and a phone call |
| Commitment | One day and you're done | Locked into the whole campaign |
| Running a single Saturday | Pick the date, that's it | Not offered |
| Who you deal with | Nobody, you post it yourself | An agency and a PDF |
Success Stories
“We had a one-day sale and put it on the screen up the road that morning. Sorted in five minutes, gone by closing. Exactly what I needed.”
“I only needed the evening of the gig. Ran a couple of hours on the nearest screen and that was it. No way I was signing up for a fortnight.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I advertise on a billboard for just one day?
Yes. Pick a screen, pick a single day, and that's all you pay for. No week-long packages, no contracts, no minimum spend. When the day's done, it's done.
Can I advertise for just one hour?
Yes. A text-only post runs for one hour from just £5. It's the quickest way to put something on a real billboard: write your message, pay, and it's live in minutes.
Is there a minimum run length?
No. One hour is the shortest run, one day is a common one, and there's no minimum spend on top. You pay for the time you actually run and nothing else.
Can I run it only on a specific day, like a Saturday?
Yes. Schedule your ad for any single day you choose, including a specific Saturday, a market day, or the day of your event. It runs that day and stops on its own.
How far ahead can I schedule a single day?
You can go live in minutes or schedule a day in advance, right up to a year out. Set the date and forget it: your ad appears on the day and comes down after.
How much does one day of billboard advertising cost?
A full day with your own creative costs £10-£15 per screen depending on screen size. A one-hour text post starts from £5. No minimum spend, no contracts.
Why is a single day so much cheaper than traditional billboards?
Traditional billboards sold weeks at a time through an agency, so a day wasn't even on the menu. These are digital screens you post to directly, so you can buy a day (£10-£15 per screen) or an hour (from £5) with no agency in the middle.
Can I stop whenever I want?
Yes. There's no contract and no rolling spend. Your run ends when the day or hour you paid for ends, and you only come back when you want to.
