Your next growth channel, live in days

Paid social and search get more expensive every quarter. Out of home gives venture-backed startups a fast, measurable channel that does not bid against itself. You do not need OOH experience: a dedicated AdQuick team plans, books, and measures the whole campaign for you, and gets you live in days.

The growth channel behind Plaid, Deel, Dave, Engine, Carta, and Athletic Brewing.

Startups scaling with AdQuick

Deel Athletic Brewing Plaid Dave Engine Carta

Built for building, not busywork

When CAC keeps climbing, the answer is not more budget in the same auction. It is a channel your competitors cannot copy-paste.

Acquisition

Beat rising CAC with net-new reach

When Meta and Google hit diminishing returns, OOH opens an audience the auctions cannot. Dave.com broke past digital saturation at sub-$3 CPMs and tracked first-time cash advances directly. AdQuick ties exposure to the conversions you already track, from sign-ups to first orders, with attribution built into the campaign.

Credibility

Punch above your weight

A placement in the right market makes a Series A startup look like the category leader. OOH cannot be skipped, blocked, or scrolled past, so it builds the trust that closes customers, wins recruits, and gets investors leaning in. Shopify used a single OOH campaign to shift enterprise perception, landing in the top 5% of all campaigns for consideration and intent.

FAQ

Do we need out of home experience to run a campaign?

No. AdQuick runs as a managed service. A dedicated team plans, negotiates, books, and measures every placement for you, so your team can stay focused on the product. It matters most when you are new to OOH.

How fast can a startup campaign go live?

Programmatic DOOH can go live within 24 hours, and traditional placements that normally take weeks can be expedited. Campaigns that used to take 140 hours of RFPs and email now go live in days.

Can we start small and scale later?

Yes. There are no minimums. Start with one market to prove the channel, then expand across 1.6M+ pieces of OOH inventory in 38 countries once it works.

How do you measure whether OOH actually drove conversions?

We tie exposure to the conversions you already track, from sign-ups to first orders, with web, app, and footfall attribution plus brand lift and causal lift studies that isolate OOH from your other channels. Dave.com measured incremental first-time cash advances against control markets at sub-$3 CPMs.
