I-85 Billboards

Billboards increase brand awareness by meeting people where search can’t, on the commute, between classes, on game days, and during weekend shopping runs. Because billboards can’t be skipped or blocked, they’re a dependable way to put your name in front of locals, and visitors all day, every day.

Billboard Advertising on I-85, Georgia

I-85 is a major north–south artery in Georgia, entering from Alabama near West Point/LaGrange, cutting through the south metro toward the Downtown Connector (I-75/I-85), then running northeast through Doraville, Chamblee, Norcross, Duluth, Suwanee, Buford/Mall of Georgia, Braselton, Jefferson, Commerce, and Lavonia to the South Carolina line at Lake Hartwell. Billboards here capture commuters, shoppers, and regional travelers on the same predictable routes, building recognition that drives calls, visits, and branded search.

Why I-85 Billboards Perform

The corridor blends dense commuter flows (south and northeast metro), high retail density (Gwinnett/Buford), and regional destinations (outlets, arenas, lake communities). Interchanges with I-285, the Downtown Connector, and GA-316 amplify reach and frequency.

Daily repetition on fixed commute paths = faster ad recall
Coverage of suburban families, logistics/office workers, students, and visitors
Supports search, social, in-store traffic, and call volume

Use one clear idea, large high-contrast type, and “next exit/landmark” cues where relevant.
