Raleigh DOOH · Glenwood South · Fayetteville St · North Hills · June 2026
A 1.56 million metro spread across the Triangle, from the State Capitol to Glenwood South to North Hills, bookable by the hour, priced per play, matched to how Raleigh actually moves.

Pedestrian-scale panels and citylights in high-footfall retail and downtown corridors.
Highway and arterial bulletins built for commuter frequency on the busiest routes.

Landmark and spectacular placements for brand statements in the city's signature locations.
Location insights
Raleigh spreads across the Triangle on the I-40 spine, with the I-440 Beltline ringing the core and NC-540 reaching the suburbs. Mornings push commuters toward Research Triangle Park; Fayetteville Street holds the civic and office daytime; Glenwood South and the Warehouse District own the nights. North Hills draws steady Midtown shopping, and NC State keeps Hillsborough Street busy in term. Hurricanes nights fill the arena district. Buy the RTP commute and the Glenwood South evenings, skip the dead midday hours.
Glenwood South 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.
Warehouse District and the city's malls hold heavy footfall from noon to evening, long windows where dwell and shopping intent, not rush, do the work.
Fayetteville Street shifts from daytime to social and tourism after dark. Different audience, same screens, swap the creative, not the location.
Location intelligence summary
Raleigh 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 | Fayetteville Street + Glenwood South | 6–11 PM |
| Commuter frequency | North Hills, Glenwood South | 7:30–10 AM · 5–8 PM |
| Retail foot traffic | Warehouse District, Fayetteville Street | 12–8 PM |
| B2B / decision-makers | NC State, Glenwood South | Weekdays 9 AM–6 PM |
| Tourism & events | Fayetteville Street, Village District | 10 AM–8 PM |
A month-long 24/7 rotation pays for 3 AM plays nobody sees. Hourly booking concentrates the same budget into Raleigh’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: finance and banking around Fayetteville Street, home to First Citizens Bank’s headquarters at 239 Fayetteville Street (see DOOH for fintech), enterprise tech from Red Hat, headquartered in downtown Raleigh and now part of IBM (see DOOH for SaaS), and life sciences and biotech feeding NC State’s research pipeline into Research Triangle Park, one of the country’s largest life-science clusters.

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 ~$0.29 per play | $100 buys hourly bursts on I-40 | drive-time commuter reach |
| Downtown digital bulletin | from ~$0.46 per play | Fayetteville Street and the Capital District | office and civic daytime |
| Glenwood South nightlife digital | from ~$0.42 per play | the Glenwood Avenue bar strip | dining and going-out audiences |
| North Hills retail digital | from ~$0.40 per play | the Midtown shopping district | affluent shopper reach |
| GoRaleigh transit screens | from ~$0.31 per play | the downtown bus network | walk-up urban commuters |
No minimums · no contracts · pay per verified play · hourly scheduling per screen
Four things move the price on any Raleigh screen: the format (pricing runs higher on goRaleigh transit screens than on roadside & freeway digital), the zone (Fayetteville Street & Capital District 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 the I-40 corridor toward Research Triangle Park.
Multi-zone Raleigh push
Fayetteville Street, Glenwood South and North Hills running together across peak dayparts.
Raleigh flagship
Full downtown and Midtown saturation timed to Hurricanes home stands and downtown events.
FAQ
No. Blindspot books time on screens that are already installed and permitted by their media-owner operators, Lamar Advertising, Adams Outdoor Advertising, Capital Outdoor 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 Raleigh 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 Glenwood South, the afternoon retail stretch around Warehouse District, or the evening social hours in Fayetteville Street & Capital District, 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 Raleigh 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 Fayetteville Street & Capital District through to Village District. The underlying screens are owned and run by media operators such as Lamar Advertising, Adams Outdoor Advertising and Capital Outdoor, 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 Raleigh typically funds a multi-day hourly presence on a high-traffic corridor such as Glenwood South, 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 $0.29 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 Raleigh campaign.
