More screens aren’t always the answer
Vistar Media helps you 'size the opportunity', not just the hardware footprint.
We believe more screens aren’t always the answer, because unmanaged screen expansion can result in wasted media spend, reduced value and a cluttered shopper experience.
We optimize for:
- Strategic screen placement
- Seamless shopper experiences
- Efficient operations
- Revenue growth
Supporting your needs, no matter the size.
We are built to accommodate campaigns of any size and budget, through a combination of white-glove service, hands-on keyboard activation or preferred platform partners.
Sit back and relax. Sign an insertion order with Vistar, and our team takes care of 100% of the campaign execution in Vistar’s DSP.
Take the reins. You gain direct access to our DSP; we'll provide the training to turn you into a planning, activation, and reporting powerhouse.
Sometimes, you just want both. We’ll partner with you to run campaign planning, activation, and reporting while still giving you hands-on keyboard access.
Choose your path. Vistar's SSP integrates seamlessly with leading omnichannel DSPs, so you can purchase DOOH from the DSP of your choice.
