Start your local advertising business

The opportunity

Local businesses want to advertise where their customers are — on digital screens in their neighborhoods. But fragmented inventory makes it hard. You can be the trusted partner who solves that in your market.

Here's why AdSpace makes it possible:

  • Deploy screens fast. The hardware and tech are ready to go. You focus on placement and sales.
  • Access inventory immediately. Don't wait to fill your screens — sell ads on the network of partner screens while you grow your own.
  • Keep the relationship. You control advertiser relationships and pricing. We provide the network; you keep the business growing.

You don't start cold

AdSpace brings the network, the platform, and the guidance other operators have leaned on to get going:

  • Hardware guidance. Which screen models work, how to mount them, and how to set up a venue — so you skip the trial-and-error.
  • Sales guidance. How other operators pitch and win local advertisers — adapt their approach to your market.
  • Operations, handled. Ad approval workflows, scheduling, creative QA, and billing run on the platform — the back-office work, structured.
  • Founder community. Connect with other AdSpace entrepreneurs running screens across markets. Share what works.

Growing from a few screens into a local network

Grow from a few screens into a real local network.

What the first year can look like

01 · Plant your first screens — Identify 3–5 high-traffic venues, sign placement agreements, deploy hardware, and go live.

02 · Land your first advertisers — Use the sales guidance to close local advertisers and start showing real results.

03 · Expand the network — Add venues, open a second neighborhood or vertical, and begin reselling on partner screens.

04 · Run a real business — A diversified screen portfolio, repeat advertisers, and a pipeline that compounds month over month.

Every market is different — we help you plan the version of year one that fits your venues, your sales rhythm, and how fast you want to grow.
