Intersection’s pitch: let the ads pay for the city
The company behind LinkNYC advertising turns sidewalks, stations and bike docks into media. Its history shows both the appeal and the hard limits of getting brands to fund public conveniences.
HYPERVSN Put a Screen on a Bicycle. Then It Made the Screen Disappear.
The London company turned a rejected bicycle-wheel ad into spinning LED displays used by Nike, Coca-Cola and the Sphere. Its real product is not a hologram so much as a carefully engineered interruption.
PATTISON Outdoor Put Canada on the Map. Now It Wants to Turn Every Commute Into Data.
The billboard incumbent is pairing a century-old physical network with 20 billion data points, 3D previews and its first U.S. airport. The clever part is not the screen - it is making outdoor media easier to plan, buy and defend in a spreadsheet.
The Bus Shelter That Became a Global Media Machine
JCDecaux turned a piece of civic furniture into a 60-year business model. Now its hardest trick is making a million physical advertising panels behave like software without making cities feel like websites.
StackAdapt
StackAdapt spent a decade turning the demand-side platform into something closer to a marketing control room. Its bet is that the next advantage in advertising will come from connecting the channels marketers already use - and making the machinery easier to operate.
Perion Network
The Israeli adtech company spent a decade buying its way across every screen. Now, after Microsoft pulled the rug on its search business, Perion is betting the whole company on one AI platform - and on the screens Google can't own.
OUTFRONT Media
The billboard business used to sell rectangles by the roadside. OUTFRONT is turning those rectangles - and thousands of screens below the street - into a measurable, programmable media network built for the real world.
