New York, NY– July 14, 2021 – Branded Cities, North America’s premier Out-of-Home and iconic media company, today announced the acquisition of an ultra-large format static spectacular, further increasing its footprint in the New York market.

At nearly 6,000 square feet and measuring 47’2” x 127’, the highly visible sign stands tall at one of midtown Manhattan’s busiest intersections, 42nd Street and 7th Avenue. The impactful display, which will be marketed as “42&7,” stands at the center point of the highly trafficked 42nd Street commuter corridor and will be a major focal point to all those entering and exiting Manhattan’s busiest subway station, Times Square – 42nd Street.

“With the addition of this iconic spectacular to our North American portfolio, Branded Cities now owns/exclusively operates over 37K square feet of premium static and digital in Times Square’s southern bow tie,” said Steven Ellman, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of Branded Cities. “With large-format static signage limited in the area, “42&7” will be highly sought-after by brands looking to make a maximum impact with their messaging.”
