Advertisers

How much does it cost?
Packages start at $249 a month for one zone (about 8 screens in 4 to 6 neighboring businesses). Ad design, tracked QR codes and a monthly report are included. More zones cost less per zone, and annual prepay gets 2 months free. We quote your package with your free mockup.
Is there a contract?
Start with a 2-month trial at the normal price, then it continues month to month. Cancel any time after the trial with 30 days notice.
What is the founding offer?
The first 30 advertisers get 25% off for 12 months in exchange for a testimonial and a short case study with their results. It ends when 30 spots are taken or on March 31, 2027, and the trial still applies.
How often does my ad play?
Each zone runs an 8-minute loop of 15-second spots, so your ad plays about 7 times an hour on every screen in your zones, every open hour. A regular who waits 30 minutes sees it several times.
How do I know if it works?
Each ad has its own QR code per zone, so we count scans by neighborhood and hour. Proof of play logs every time it runs. Add an offer code and we count redemptions at your register. You get it all in a one-page report each month.
Who designs the ad?
We do, free, from your website, logo and offer: one new version each quarter, or monthly with Creative Refresh. You approve every version before it runs.
Will my competitors be on the same screens?
We cap each zone at 2 advertisers per category, and venues can block competitors of their own. Citywide Partners are exclusive in their category.
What can't I advertise?
No political ads in our first year, and extra rules apply to alcohol, legal, health and financial ads. See the content policy.
How fast can I start?
Usually within a week of approving your mockup. Ads go live once your first payment clears and venues have had their review window.
How do I pay?
Card or ACH through Stripe, billed monthly. You can update your card or plan from a link in any billing email.

Venue partners

What does it cost to host a screen?
Nothing. We provide, install and maintain the TV, player, mount and cord cover. You provide the wall, an outlet and Wi-Fi.
How much will I earn?
15% of the subscription ad revenue from your screens and 25% of event ads, split by actual plays and paid monthly. Once a zone is full that's about $65 a month per screen before event weeks; early months are smaller while the zone fills.
Do I control what plays?
Yes. Block categories at sign-up, then approve or decline each new ad by email. Silence for 48 hours counts as approval, or switch on auto-approve. Pull any ad later and it comes off within 24 hours.
Can I show my own content?
A quarter of every loop is for venue and community content: your specials, events and local art.
Is there sound?
No. Screens are silent.
What if it breaks or goes offline?
We monitor every screen. Most problems are fixed remotely; otherwise we come out. Ads play from memory, so a Wi-Fi blip doesn't blank the screen.
How long is the agreement?
12 months, and either side can end it with 30 days notice. We remove the hardware within 14 days.

Events

What is an Event Spotlight?
A 3, 7 or 14 day flight that plays first in the loop, twice as often as regular ads, with a live countdown to your date and a QR to register or buy tickets. From $229.
How fast can an event go live?
Usually a few days. Rush service publishes within 48 or 24 hours for a fee. Book 30 or more days ahead and save 10%.
Do event ads bump regular advertisers?
No. Event spots ride on top of the loop, which stretches by about 30 seconds while a flight runs.
