Randburg lies north-west of the Johannesburg CBD and next to Sandton, within the City of Johannesburg. It is a mixed commercial and residential area, with a town centre, shopping nodes and arterial roads that carry daily commuter traffic.
Billboards Africa works here from our nearby Sandton office, and the area suits advertisers who want local suburban exposure rather than freeway scale.
Roads and local nodes
Republic Road, Malibongwe Drive, Bram Fischer Drive and Beyers Naude Drive link Randburg with Sandton, Roodepoort and the northern suburbs. These roads suit roadside billboards and wall sites seen by commuters and local shoppers. Retail and office frontages around the Randburg town centre and the surrounding Ferndale, Cresta and Northcliff areas offer wall and rooftop positions.
Because many Randburg roads are slow and busy at peak times, faces are viewed for longer than at freeway speed, which allows more detailed artwork. Our artwork requirements guide explains how to prepare files.
Urban Rotation in Randburg
Smaller 6 m x 3 m suburban sites suit rotation campaigns, where the same creative moves between sites at set intervals. Our Urban Rotation package is built for this, with production included only where stated on your quotation.
Installation and upkeep
Randburg's older commercial buildings often need a structural check before a rooftop or wall billboard goes up. We arrange engineering design and sign-off as the structure requires, then handle fabrication, fixing and flighting.
For existing signs we replace skins, repair steelwork and service lighting. Where a facade is hard to reach, rope access avoids heavy scaffolding.
Digital and rentals
Digital screens suit the retail frontages and intersections of Randburg, with approval conditions on brightness, hours and content. Rentals on available sites are confirmed at enquiry.
Retail, schools and local services
Randburg's local economy of shops, restaurants, medical practices, schools and service businesses suits advertisers whose customers live within a few suburbs. Faces here are usually smaller than freeway structures, so a message can include a location, a short offer and a website address.
Estate agents, car dealers and food outlets tend to favour suburban rotation, because a message repeated across several sites in one catchment builds recognition. For a short campaign, flighting on rented space avoids building your own structure, and we can advise how many sites a catchment needs once we know your goal.
Because Randburg roads are shared with pedestrians in many places, installation is planned with barricading and safe working zones around the base of the structure and the area above it. Work follows the applicable health and safety requirements, and lifting is arranged as the site requires.
Approvals
Randburg applications go to the City of Johannesburg, and to the provincial roads department or SANRAL where the site is near their roads. Landowner or body corporate consent is also needed. We assist, but approval rests with the authority.
