Yep, we know what it means, but what's a good "in" term in both of these sentences, especially the second one? From my background research, we don't seem to use "large poster" or similar in English.

Any thoughts?
But what then for "Riesenposter" in the second one?

Can be used to mean other advertising as well. So I can see your "large-scale billboard advertising"
