I’ve been working with Adway, a company that’s changing how out-of-home advertising works, and I think it’s an interesting topic for marketers and business owners.
Instead of relying solely on static billboards or increasingly expensive digital ads, Adway turns everyday rideshare and fleet vehicles into moving digital advertising platforms.
Some of the advantages:
Reach thousands of people every week as vehicles travel through targeted communities.
Campaigns can be launched quickly without long production timelines.
Businesses gain measurable reporting instead of simply hoping people saw the ad.
More affordable than many traditional outdoor advertising options, making it accessible for local businesses as well as larger brands.
What I find compelling isn’t that it’s “another advertising platform.” It’s that it brings together digital-style analytics with the real-world visibility of out-of-home media.
I’m helping expand this technology in Arizona, and I’m curious:
Do you think mobile digital billboards are the future of local advertising?
Would you allocate part of your marketing budget to a measurable mobile campaign?
What metrics would you need to see before considering it?
I’d be interested in hearing perspectives from marketers, agency owners, and business owners—both positive and critical.

For years, local businesses have had two primary choices for advertising:
Spend more every year on digital ads where competition continues to drive costs higher.
Buy traditional out-of-home advertising that can be difficult to measure.
It made me wonder: What if out-of-home advertising could be measured more like digital marketing?
I’ve been working with technology that uses connected fleet vehicles to deliver advertising while providing campaign reporting and audience analytics. The technology itself isn’t what interests me most—the shift in how local businesses can think about brand awareness is.
Some questions I’d love to hear opinions on:
Do you think local businesses spend too much chasing clicks instead of building awareness?
What metrics would make you trust an out-of-home campaign?
If you had the same budget, would you choose social media ads, billboards, or a measurable mobile advertising network—and why?
I’m interested in hearing what business owners and marketers think. Where do you see local advertising heading over the next five years?
