Large-format LED on highways, bridges and boulevards, motion, dayparting and dynamic triggers.
Pedestrian-scale panels and citylights in high-footfall retail and downtown corridors.
Highway and arterial bulletins built for commuter frequency on the busiest routes.
High-intent shoppers from midday to evening across the city's retail destinations.
the CATA bus network and its bus rapid transit along the Michigan and Grand River Avenue spine to Michigan State plus stations and place-based screens with captive dwell.
Landmark and spectacular placements for brand statements in the city's signature locations.
Location insights
Lansing runs on a government-and-campus clock across mid-Michigan. Weekday mornings fill the Capitol complex with tens of thousands of state workers, while the Michigan Avenue and Grand River corridor carries a constant flow east to Michigan State in East Lansing. Campus keeps that spine busy all day, and Spartan Stadium and the Breslin Center spike traffic on gamedays. The I-496 and US-127 interchange ties the metro together, retail concentrates at Frandor and Lansing Mall, and CATA bus rapid transit links downtown to campus. Screens near the Capitol, MSU and the Michigan Avenue corridor catch the steadiest repeat eyes.
Michigan State University 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.
Frandor / Lansing Mall Retail and the city's malls hold heavy footfall from noon to evening, long windows where dwell and shopping intent, not rush, do the work.
Capitol Complex / Downtown shifts from daytime to social and tourism after dark. Different audience, same screens, swap the creative, not the location.
Location intelligence summary
Lansing 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.
| Objective | Book these zones | Best hours |
|---|---|---|
| Brand launch | Capitol Complex / Downtown + Michigan State University | 6–11 PM |
| Commuter frequency | Michigan Ave / Grand River Corridor, Michigan State University | 7:30–10 AM · 5–8 PM |
| Retail foot traffic | Frandor / Lansing Mall Retail, Capitol Complex / Downtown | 12–8 PM |
| B2B / decision-makers | I-496 / US-127 Interchange, Michigan State University | Weekdays 9 AM–6 PM |
| Tourism & events | Capitol Complex / Downtown, I-96 Corridor / South Lansing | 10 AM–8 PM |
A month-long 24/7 rotation pays for 3 AM plays nobody sees. Hourly booking concentrates the same budget into Lansing’s proven peak windows, and typically saves 30%+ versus a flat four-week flight.
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.
Every play is logged. Blindspot campaigns report verified plays and attribution, measured against control groups, not estimated reach.
The zones above already draw a specific buyer: automotive manufacturing, GM's Lansing Grand River Assembly plant builds the Cadillac CT4 and CT5 a few blocks from the Capitol Complex, and higher education, Michigan State University enrolls roughly 50,000 students and is the region's largest employer in that zone.

Pricing · updated June 2026
Per-play prices, not CPM mysteries. Live per-screen pricing and real-time availability are on every card in the platform; the ranges below reflect typical Blindspot pricing as of June 2026.
| Format | Price per play | Typical presence | Why it works |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roadside & freeway digital | from ~$0.31 per play | $100 buys hourly bursts on I-496 and US-127 | drive-time commuter reach |
| Capitol district spectacular | from ~$0.50 per play | the downtown government core | state-worker and business dwell |
| Michigan State corridor digital | from ~$0.46 per play | the campus and Spartan Stadium edge | student and gameday audiences |
| Frandor retail digital | from ~$0.37 per play | the main shopping axis | regional shopper crowd |
| Transit & BRT screens | from ~$0.31 per play | the Michigan Avenue rapid-transit stops | walk-up and student commuters |
No minimums · no contracts · pay per verified play · hourly scheduling per screen
Four things move the price on any Lansing screen: the format (pricing runs higher on transit & BRT screens than on roadside & freeway digital), the zone (Capitol Complex / Downtown 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
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.
Commute test
A week of morning and evening bursts on I-496 into the Capitol district.
Multi-zone Lansing push
The Capitol, Michigan State and Frandor running together across peak dayparts.
Capital-and-campus flagship
Full Capitol and MSU saturation timed to the legislative session and Spartan gamedays.
FAQ
No. Blindspot books time on screens that are already installed and permitted by their media-owner operators, Adams Outdoor Advertising, OUTFRONT Media, Lamar Advertising among them, so you're leasing airtime on an existing structure, not erecting a new one.
Specs vary by screen: orientation, resolution and file format differ from one panel to the next. Every screen shows its exact requirements in the platform before you upload, so there's no separate spec sheet to track down before you book.
Yes. Every Lansing screen on Blindspot is bookable by the hour, with no minimum contract and no retainer. You pick the exact windows, so you can buy the morning commute on Michigan State University, the afternoon retail stretch around Frandor / Lansing Mall Retail, or the evening social hours in Capitol Complex / Downtown, and skip everything between. Because you pay per play instead of for a fixed four-week flight, the same budget concentrated into proven peak windows buys more useful frequency than the same money spread across every hour including the overnight ones nobody sees. Availability and the per-play price are visible before you commit, and you can start with one screen and one daypart.
Blindspot puts the bookable digital out-of-home screens across Lansing on a single map: roadside and boulevard LED, street-level panels and citylights, transit and station screens, mall and place-based displays, and landmark placements, all priced per play and bookable by the hour. That spans zones from Capitol Complex / Downtown through to I-96 Corridor / South Lansing. The underlying screens are owned and run by media operators such as Adams Outdoor Advertising, OUTFRONT Media and Lamar Advertising, and Blindspot books time on their existing, already-permitted structures rather than reselling a fixed package. You see each screen, its zone, its per-play price and its live availability before committing, so you are choosing specific screens and hours rather than buying an unspecified network bundle.
Often within hours: upload, pass creative pre-check, and digital screens need no printing or installation. Content approval typically averages around two business days across networks.
More than most people expect, because you are buying plays rather than weeks. A $500 budget in Lansing typically funds a multi-day hourly presence on a high-traffic corridor such as Michigan State University, a concentrated burst across the busiest retail and transit screens at peak hours only, or thousands of plays on central urban panels where the per-play price is lowest. At entry prices around $0.31 per play, the arithmetic is straightforward and visible before you commit. What it will not stretch to is 24/7 coverage of a landmark spectacular, and that is the point of hourly buying: concentrate a small budget where and when it is seen instead of thinning it across hours with no audience.
No. Blindspot has no minimums, retainers or platform fees; you can run a focused hourly burst on a single screen or a full multi-zone Lansing campaign.
