Background

 

Blindspot is the performance layer for DOOH. It enables marketers to plan, buy, and optimize out‑of‑home campaigns with precision—down to the hour and the individual screen—using real‑world signals (traffic, weather, events, store hours, and more). The platform is focused on micro‑buying (hourly scheduling) and pay‑per‑play, letting brands run contextually relevant creative only when it matters. In 2025, Blindspot introduced Blinky, an agentic AI media planner & buyer that turns a plain‑English brief into a ready‑to‑launch DOOH plan in minutes.

 

Core services

 

– AI Planning & Buying (Blinky): Enter objectives, ICP, locations, and constraints; Blinky proposes screens, hourly schedules, budgets, and creative triggers.

– Micro‑Buying by the Hour: Book only the hours you actually need per screen/location.

– Pay‑per‑Play: Transparent pricing on actual ad plays, not impressions.

– Dynamic Creative & Triggers: Rotate creatives based on 70+ signals (weather, events, time of day, store hours, congestion, game nights, concert windows, etc.).

– POI Targeting: Target around stores, competitors, venues, transit hubs, and events.

– Attribution & Measurement: Foot‑traffic uplift, web‑lift, sales/proxy conversions; exposed‑vs‑control cohorts; lookback windows.

– Live Analytics: Real‑time play logs, pacing, performance dashboards, and exportable reports.

– Programmatic: Plan and activate through partners and direct publisher connections inside the Blindspot platform without worrying about the technicalities.

 

Screen supply & coverage

 

– 2.5M+ connected screens worldwide (indoor, outdoor, place‑based, transit, retail, C‑store, gyms, airports, malls, rideshare, point‑of‑care, etc.).

– Formats: Large‑format roadside, urban panels, transit shelters, place‑based networks, in‑mall and in‑store, elevators, office lobbies, college campuses, nightlife, and 85+ other types of formats.

• Partners: Works with leading DOOH SSPs and publishers (e.g., Vistar, Broadsign, New Tradition, and others) to ensure breadth and reliability.

Note: Specific screen availability varies by market and dates.

 

Clients & case studies (examples)

 

– Enterprise & High‑Growth: Brands such as Pepsi, Bitdefender, Intimissimi, UiPath, and others have executed performance‑oriented DOOH via Blindspot.

– Use Cases: Retail launches, app installs, events (conferences, festivals), local blitzes, always‑on brand support, competitive conquesting near POIs.

– Measurement: Campaigns routinely quantify foot‑traffic uplift, website session lift, and sales impact via exposed‑vs‑control methodologies for larger campaigns.

 

Platform & methods

 

– Workflow: Map‑based screen selection → hourly scheduling → creative upload (multiple variants) → trigger rules → Review → launch.

– Speed: Plans and schedules can be generated in minutes; activation needs 48 hours maximum for review from the publishers.

– Granularity: Each location gets its own time‑boxed schedule tuned to local audience rhythms.

– Creative Intelligence: Contextual rotations ensure the right message runs at the right hour.
