Self-Serve Billboard Advertising
Pick your screens, design and pay online. From £5 for an hour, or £10-£15 a day per screen. No agency, no sales call, no minimum spend.
Get StartedWhy It Works
Traditional outdoor advertising means a sales call, an insertion order, an agency taking its cut and weeks of lead time. You email a stranger a brief, wait for a quote, and hope the campaign lands before the moment you needed it for. For most people it was never even an option.
FameCake is fully self-serve. You browse real digital screens across the UK, pick the ones you want, design your ad or let our AI do it, and pay, all online in minutes. Post a text message for an hour from £5, or run your own creative for a day at £10-£15 per screen. No agency, no sales call, no minimum spend. You do it yourself, start to finish.

Success Stories
“I did the whole thing on my phone one evening. Picked the screen down the road, wrote the ad, paid, done. No way I was ringing an agency for that.”
“I'd braced myself for a sales call and a quote. There wasn't one. I just picked a couple of screens and paid, like buying anything else online.”
Frequently Asked Questions
What is self-serve billboard advertising?
It means you run the whole thing yourself, online. You browse real digital screens, pick the ones you want, design your ad, pay, and go live. No insertion order, no sales call, no agency doing it for you and adding a markup.
Can I book a billboard online myself?
Yes. That's the whole idea. Pick a screen, design your ad or use our AI designer, pay, and it's live in minutes. A one-hour text post starts from £5, and you do every step yourself from your phone or laptop.
Do I need to speak to a sales team or agency?
No. There's no form to fill in and no one to email. You never wait for a quote or a callback. You pick your screens and pay online, the same as booking anything else.
How is this different from traditional billboard advertising?
Traditional outdoor advertising runs through an agency: a sales call, an insertion order, a minimum spend and weeks of lead time. Here you deal with nobody and post directly to the screen. Same real billboards, none of the middlemen.
Is there a minimum spend?
No. There's no minimum spend and no contract. You pay per post from a few pounds, run one screen or many, and stop whenever you like.
How much does self-serve billboard advertising cost?
A text-only post runs for one hour from just £5. A full day with your own creative costs £10-£15 per screen depending on screen size. No minimum spend, no agency markup.
Why is it cheaper than the agency route?
The old way put an agency between you and the screen, and you paid for it. Posting directly cuts that out, so you buy a day (£10-£15 per screen) or an hour (from £5) at the actual price, with nobody taking a cut in the middle.
How fast can I go live?
Most posts go live within minutes of paying. There's no approval queue to sit in and no schedule to negotiate. You can also set it to start on a specific day in advance, right up to a year out.
