What an ad can look like on a vehicle like yours
It’s not just one door magnet. Campaigns can include doors, quarter panels, perforated rear glass, and rear branding — see the zones before you accept an offer.
Sample zone maps (YOUR AD HERE placeholders) — not client campaigns or live GPS impressions. Each campaign offer shows which zones apply.
For advertisers
What you get when your campaign is live

Install photos
When materials go on, we capture visual proof of placement on the assigned vehicle.
Weekly check-ins
Drivers submit periodic proofs while the campaign is active.
