An alternative
to outdoor advertising
Digital advertising in public spaces that complements billboards and moves the point of contact from the street into the space itself.

The cost of outdoor advertising rises every year. Flexibility is limited — changing the creative takes time and money. Targeting is difficult — you pay for the entire flow, not just your audience.
There is no precise analytics — you don't know how many people actually saw your billboard. This is not a criticism of the format, but the logic of how the advertising market is evolving.
Contact inside a public space
Outdoor advertising works with the flow on the street. Digital advertising in venues works with an audience that is already in an environment where it spends time. Compare the formats.
When to choose the alternative format
Local businesses
Cafés, salons, clinics — advertising right where your customers are
Neighborhood campaigns
Cover a specific area through a network of venues
Targeted launches
Launch a campaign quickly without lengthy approvals
Limited budget
Start with minimal spend and scale as needed
Need for flexibility
Change the creative, schedule, and locations in real time
Combined approach
Complement outdoor advertising with contact inside spaces
Often the best solution is a combination of outdoor advertising and digital screens in public spaces. You expand the market rather than fight it.
How to launch the alternative advertising format
You choose specific locations on the interactive HostAd map. You see the venue type, its traffic, and location. You place ads flexibly — change the creative, schedule, and budget at any moment.
Full transparency — you see impression statistics for every location in real time.
Digital advertising in public spaces is a modern extension of outdoor advertising, allowing businesses to work not only with street traffic but also with the audience inside spaces.
The cost of real contact
Outdoor advertising is measured in OTS (opportunity to see). But an opportunity does not mean an actual view. Most people simply walk past without noticing the billboard.
Digital advertising in venues works with guaranteed contact: a person is in an enclosed space and sees the screen throughout the entire visit. This changes the economics of every impression.
