Out of Hand are proud to support up and coming and emerging performers at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Marketing is vital to the success of a show at the Fringe, and with over 3,000 different shows taking place daily over the three weeks of the Fringe, it is hard to stand out from the crowd.
Out of Hand offer a range of Fringe specific marketing channels for participants to choose from to help promote their show - whatever their budget. Services offered range from design and print of flyers and posters, to distribution and street teams. Alongside this, Out of Hand offer outdoor posters which are an essential element of any Fringe performers marketing campaign to support their Edinburgh shows.
Working in partnership with local independent stakeholders, these outdoor poster advertising sites are highly visible, centrally located throughout Edinburgh city centre and available exclusively for Fringe promoters and venues to promote their shows. All sites are in prime central locations and ideally positioned for maximum visibility around the Fringe performance areas with sites outside the main venues, busy pedestrian walkways and main traffic routes and transport hubs.

- Design support for your flyer / poster / outdoor advertising
- Print of 5,000 A6 flyers / 100 A3 full colour posters
