When Turbo Plumbing first reached out, the brief was clear: the business was expanding quickly across the Moreton Bay region and needed to lift its local profile while staying front-of-mind when plumbing issues strike. We sat down with the team over coffee to map out what growth looked like on the ground – where the phones ring most, which suburbs to continue advertising, and which corridors could unlock new demand.
From those conversations, we built an out-of-home (OOH) plan that paired three digital billboards and a strategic classic site, positioned across high-frequency Moreton Bay corridors. The strategy was simple: use digital screens to drive frequency and variety, then support brand recall with a constant static presence in a prime location. That media mix allowed us to dominate the busiest commuter and retail flows while expanding Turbo Plumbing’s footprint into target roads and catchments that matter for service calls.

Billboard creative is key
Creative was the other half of the equation. Rather than a single message repeated en masse, we developed a suite of ten witty one-liners that played with the everyday realities of plumbing. Each line was designed to earn a smile, build approachability and cue efficiency, then rotate in sequence across the digital network so locals encountered fresh variations throughout the week. The static billboard reinforcing the theme gave the campaign a familiar “always there” feel, which is important when a cold shower or a blocked drain turns a casual impression into an immediate action.
“Having our billboards up with Bishopp has really lifted our local profile,” the Turbo Plumbing team told us afterwards. “People mention they’ve seen our vans and then point out they also spotted our billboard – it’s helped us stay front of mind when plumbing issues pop up.”
That line “stay front of mind” is exactly what billboard advertising in a region like Moreton Bay can do. Repetition on school runs, retail trips and commuter flows creates the right kind of mental availability so that when a pipe bursts at 6am, the next step is obvious.
The campaign’s tone was just as intentional as its placement. Trades are built on trust and responsiveness, so each headline balanced humour with credibility: quick fixes without shortcuts, friendly service without fluff, and real human energy behind the brand. It worked. “We’ve had new customers call us after spotting the billboard, which is great,” the team said, “but the funny one is other plumbers in the area have commented on it too – so we know it’s catching attention!” Positive chatter among competitors is a pretty good proxy for cut-through.

Billboard recognition, recall and glowing references
Behind the scenes, we made sure the process was as smooth as the finished product. “The process was easy and stress-free,” Turbo Plumbing shared. “Bishopp actually listened to what we wanted and gave us options that suited our business rather than pushing a cookie-cutter approach.” From planning and creative to flighting and optimisation, our team kept the communication practical and no-nonsense.
“The Bishopp team were super professional but also approachable. It never felt too corporate – more like working with people who genuinely wanted us to succeed.”
That spirit is important to us. Turbo Plumbing got the true Bishopp experience from start to finish: a plan that reflects the realities of local growth, creative that people actually notice, and a delivery team that cares about outcomes. The result is more recognition, more recall, and more of the right calls at the right time – something we heard directly from the client as those new enquiries started referencing “the billboard.”

Where to start with your out-of-home campaign
For service businesses in fast-growing regions like Moreton Bay, the playbook is straightforward. Start with the map: your busiest suburbs, your feeder roads, and the corridors that turn everyday trips into decision moments. Pair agile digital placements with an enduring static anchor so your brand shows up often and sticks. Keep the creative human, short and memorable. Then close the loop by asking every caller where they heard about you and tagging “billboard” in your CRM. That’s how you turn impressions into intelligence and intelligence into scale.
