What Flairmedia does

Flairmedia (新云传媒), formally Shanghai Xinyun Media Co., Ltd. (上海新云传媒股份有限公司), is a privately held Shanghai-based out-of-home (OOH) media operator founded in 1997. The company runs an integrated six-format media portfolio: outdoor billboards and LED displays in prime commercial districts (Lujiazui, People's Square, Babaip, Xintiandi, Jing'an Temple); city bus wrap advertising across nearly 500 routes and 4,300+ vehicles; the largest double-decker sightseeing bus fleet in Shanghai; exclusive operating rights to the Nanjing Road Trolley (铛铛车); Shanghai's only city-wide metro entrance glass curtain wall network at nearly 1,000 locations; and Huangpu River cruise advertising across the Crystal Princess and HJ-1 through HJ-5 vessels. Combined daily reach is estimated at over 30 million impressions, with key inventory anchored at landmark buildings including IFC, Jin Mao Tower, Shanghai Tower, Raffles City, and Zhengda Plaza.

The company monetizes exclusively through direct enterprise advertising sales, with no public pricing disclosed and all business conducted via phone (021-50588282) and email ([email protected]). Its go-to-market is a direct B2B sales-led motion targeting enterprise brand advertisers and their agencies across automotive (e.g., Cadillac), financial services (Postal Savings Bank of China), luxury and premium goods (La Prairie, Lao Feng Xiang), and FMCG verticals (PepsiCo, Bright Dairy, Dettol, Move Free). Services extend beyond media space to include creative design, event planning, and market analysis, enabling coordinated multi-format campaign packaging across the six media channels. Pricing is consultation-based and not published, consistent with a high-touch, negotiated enterprise sales model.
