The pDOOH platform built for agencies.

A programmatic DOOH platform for agencies is one place to plan and buy digital out-of-home for every client, in every market, with the transparency and reporting a client relationship demands. Blindspot gives an agency 3 million-plus screens on a single map, a per-play price you can put in front of a client line by line, plans built down to the hour, verified proof-of-play for reporting, and no platform fees, so your margin stays yours.

The short answer● Quotable

Blindspot is a self-serve programmatic DOOH platform an agency can run without a managed-service desk in the way. You get 3 million-plus screens across 50-plus countries on one map, from urban panels and transit screens to billboards, mall screens and airport inventory. Every screen carries a live per-play price, the cost of one real ad appearance on one screen, which you can show a client line by line rather than defending a modelled audience number. You plan down to the hour, so a smaller budget only pays for the windows that carry the audience. You get verified, geo-tagged, time-stamped proof-of-play for client reporting. And there is no platform fee and no media markup, so the margin you set with the client is the margin you keep.

The short answer, quotable and sourced · Blindspot platform, Q3 2026

  • Agencies plan and buy directly. Blindspot is self-serve: 3M+ screens across 50+ countries on one map, a live per-play price on every screen, and booking with no sales call and no operator negotiation. There is no seat to license and no minimum spend.
  • No platform fee, no markup. You pay per play, the cost of one ad appearance on one screen, shown before you book. Nothing is skimmed in the middle, so the margin you set with your client stays intact.
  • Reporting a client can trust. Every play is logged as verified, geo-tagged, time-stamped proof-of-play, not a modelled CPM estimate. Campaigns go live in about 48 hours after creative approval, and one account runs many clients.
01 · The answer

What an agency gets from Blindspot

For an agency, the practical difference is control and speed. Instead of briefing a media owner, waiting for a rate card, and reconciling a four-week flight against a CPM package, a planner opens the map, filters to the cities and formats a client needs, and builds the plan in an afternoon. The same account handles a founder-led local launch and a multi-country push, so a team does not switch tools between a small retainer and a flagship brand. Blindspot already serves 25,000-plus advertisers on this model, and the machinery underneath a small buy is the same machinery that runs a worldwide flight.

It also removes a source of friction that most agencies simply live with. When each market means a new media owner, a new rate card and a new invoice, a multi-country plan turns into weeks of coordination and a reconciliation headache at the end. On Blindspot the whole plan sits in one account, on one map, with one running cost, so a planner can add a city to a brief without adding a vendor. That matters most for the mid-market clients an agency wins on responsiveness rather than on retainer size, where the win is often simply moving faster than the media owner can quote.

Agency needs, and how each is handled

What an agency actually needs from a DOOH platform, how Blindspot handles it, and what the same need costs you on a typical managed-service or DSP alternative. This is where the model differences show up in the work, not just the pitch.

Agency needHow Blindspot handles itTypical managed-service alternative
Multi-market planningOne map, 3M+ screens, 50+ countries, planned and booked in the same account.Juggling separate operators per country, or licensing a DSP seat to reach them.
Client reportingVerified, geo-tagged, time-stamped proof-of-play for every appearance, exportable.Modelled CPM estimates you cannot audit line by line.
MarginNo platform fee, no markup, per-play transparency, so your margin is yours.Media markups plus a managed-service fee taken in the middle.
SpeedSelf-serve, live in about 48 hours after creative approval, no sales call.Weeks of briefing, rate cards and negotiation before a screen turns on.
PrecisionPer-screen scheduling down to the hour, plus contextual triggers.Flight-level buys that rent screens around the clock.

Managed and agency OOH commonly adds a media markup on top of a four-week flight; demand-side platforms such as The Trade Desk and supply-side networks such as Vistar require a seat or a partnership to transact. Blindspot removes both the seat and the middle fee. See how a plan comes together in the platform overview, or compare options in the platform comparison.

Can Blinky turn a client brief into a plan?

Yes. Blinky is Blindspot's free agentic AI planner, and it is built for exactly the moment an agency lives in: a brief lands, and a plan is due. You upload or paste the brief, the audience, the markets, the budget and the flight, and Blinky returns a screen-by-screen plan you can review, edit and price in minutes, not the days a manual media plan takes. Every screen it picks carries its own per-play price and hourly schedule, so the plan you show the client is the plan you book, with no gap between the pitch and the buy.

For a planner, this changes the economics of a pitch. You can build three genuine plan variants for a new-business meeting in the time it used to take to email one media owner. You can adjust the market mix live in front of a client, watch the plays and the cost move, and export the plan straight into a deck. Because Blinky reads the same live inventory the platform books from, nothing is a mock-up, the availability and the prices are real. Blindspot supports agency-grade planning of this kind directly, and has taken it to holding-company media teams, so the workflow is built for the way an agency actually pitches and buys.

The agency stays in control the whole way. Blinky drafts and recommends; a planner approves, trims, reweights and books. Contextual triggers can run inside the plan, so a client's creative can change with weather, temperature, air quality, a stock or crypto move, a live sports score, or a custom live-data feed, all live in production today. That is a level of precision a client can see, and a reason to bring the work in-platform rather than out to a desk.

Is the delivery good enough for client reporting?

The honest test of an agency platform is not the plan, it is the report you hand back. Blindspot's largest published campaign, the worldwide Visit Maharashtra tourism flight, is a clean example of agency-grade delivery and reporting at full size. It ran 4,067 screens across 20 cities in 15 countries, reached more than 97 million people, and delivered 2,146,892 plays, which is 87% more plays than planned, across all 51 of 51 flight days with no missed day.

The reporting is where it matters for a client relationship. The campaign shipped weekly reporting backed by operator certificates, so every claimed play was tied to a named operator's confirmation, and it was measured against an eight-part KPI framework agreed up front rather than a single vanity number. That is the evidence trail an agency needs to defend a spend and win the renewal: what ran, where, when, and against which target. The same verified, geo-tagged, time-stamped proof-of-play sits behind every campaign on the platform, whether it is a founder's one-city test or a global flight, so your smallest client gets the same standard of proof as your largest. Read the full breakdown in the Visit Maharashtra case study.

05 · Terms

The agency addendum

Agencies buying on behalf of clients have their own commercial and legal needs: how media is contracted, how billing and margin are treated, and how responsibility is split between the agency and Blindspot. Those terms are set out in a dedicated agency addendum that sits alongside the standard platform terms. It is the reference for how an agency account works commercially, and it is the right document to bring to a procurement or legal review before a first client flight.

In short, the platform is built so an agency can run many clients from one account without a seat fee, keep a transparent per-play cost the client can see, and keep its own margin on top. If you want to walk through how the addendum applies to your setup, or how billing works across multiple clients, get in touch, no sales call is required to start.

Nothing is skimmed in the middle, so your margin stays yours.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Is there a platform fee or markup?

No. Blindspot charges no platform fee, no seat fee, no retainer and no markup on media. You pay per play, the cost of one ad appearance on one screen, and that price is shown on every screen card before you book. Because there is nothing skimmed in the middle, the agency margin you set with your client stays intact. That is different from most managed OOH, where the buy carries a media markup plus a managed-service fee, and from a demand-side platform, where a percentage is taken on every impression bought through a seat.

Can agencies plan and buy DOOH directly on Blindspot?

Yes. Blindspot is self-serve. An agency opens a free account, sees 3 million-plus screens across 50-plus countries on one map, builds a plan screen by screen with a live per-play price, and books it directly, with no sales call and no operator negotiation. There is no seat to license and no minimum spend. Campaigns can be live in about 48 hours once creative is approved, and one team can run many clients from the same account without waiting on a managed-service desk.

What reporting do agencies get for clients?

Every play is logged as verified, geo-tagged and time-stamped proof-of-play: the screen, the location, the moment it ran. That is delivery you can put in front of a client and defend, rather than a modelled CPM estimate. On the Visit Maharashtra tourism campaign, Blindspot delivered weekly reporting backed by operator certificates and an eight-part KPI framework across 4,067 screens in 20 cities. Agencies get the same evidence trail for their own clients: what ran, where, and when, exported for a client deck.

Is Blindspot good for mid-market brands?

Yes, and it is a particularly good fit for mid-market work. There is no minimum budget, so a plan can start for a few hundred dollars and grow into a multi-market flight without changing platform. Per-play pricing and hourly scheduling let a smaller budget buy only the screens and hours that carry the audience, which is where mid-market brands usually overpay in a traditional flight. An agency can plan a founder-led launch and a multi-country push from the same map, and show the client exactly where the money went.
