Location insights

Where Eugene moves

Eugene sits where the Willamette River meets the southern end of the valley, and it moves around the University of Oregon. The campus, Autzen Stadium and Hayward Field drive huge game-day and meet-day surges that swell the city far beyond its size. Franklin Boulevard and the EmX rapid line link campus to downtown, where the 5th Street Market, breweries and the Hult Center pull evening crowds. I-5 and the Beltline carry the drive-time and regional traffic, while a dense network of riverside bike paths threads the whole city. Screens near campus, downtown and along I-5 catch the most repeat and visitor eyes.

Commuter tide, twice a day

Downtown / 5th Street Market and the main arteries surge 7:30–10 AM and 5–8 PM. Book exactly those hours and your frequency climbs for the same budget.

Retail plateau, all afternoon

Beltline / Valley River and the city's malls hold heavy footfall from noon to evening, long windows where dwell and shopping intent, not rush, do the work.

Evenings change the audience

University of Oregon / Hayward Field shifts from daytime to social and tourism after dark. Different audience, same screens, swap the creative, not the location.

Location intelligence summary

One city, several audiences a day

Eugene doesn't have one rush hour; it has rotating audiences sharing the same streets. The only buying model that matches that is hourly: pay for the windows when your audience owns the city, skip the ones when it doesn't.

Match the tide, not the calendar

A month-long 24/7 rotation pays for 3 AM plays nobody sees. Hourly booking concentrates the same budget into Eugene’s proven peak windows, and typically saves 30%+ versus a flat four-week flight.

Creative by daypart

Morning commuters read in 2 seconds; evening crowds dwell for minutes. Run different creative by hour on the same screens, even trigger swaps on weather or live data.

Proof, not vibes

Every play is logged. Blindspot campaigns report verified plays and attribution, measured against control groups, not estimated reach.

No minimums · no contracts · pay per verified play · hourly scheduling per screen

Four things move the price on any Eugene screen: the format (pricing runs higher on transit & campus screens than on roadside & interstate digital), the zone (University of Oregon / Hayward Field carries the highest footfall premium), the daypart (peak commute and evening hours price above the overnight lull), and how far in advance you book, since the busiest zones and formats sell out first.

What a campaign costs

Eugene budgets, three ways

Because you pay per play and schedule by the hour, your budget buys the exposure you actually need, not filler plays, so it works as hard on a big campaign as on a small one, with no minimum. Here's what budgets realistically buy. Live numbers per screen are in the platform.

$500-$1,500

A week of hourly bursts around the University of Oregon and downtown.
