What’s new over the past year?

A little bit of the Old and the New… Hand-painted Wall Murals and Digital Monopoles…

In Los Angeles, we’ve been leaning into the resurgence of hand-painted wall murals, blending artistry with advertising. The WINDWARD in Venice Beach is our crown jewel: a dynamic Wallscape located directly under the world-famous Venice Sign. Advertisers love Earned Media, and this location delivers. Campaigns often generate enough buzz to pay for themselves within days.

This unique location allows us to tap into our creative side with campaigns that combine hand-painted murals by day and laser projection elements by night. Behind the mural, The WINDWARD offers a fully customizable 4,000sf space for Pop-Up / Brand Activations—transforming OOH visibility into immersive, on-site engagement. We hosted DIAGEO for a BAILEYS IRISH CREAM Pop-Up, where customers could try their new products framed under the massive 500sf Wall Mural.

In Texas, we recently installed a dual-sided Digital Billboard in Joshua, TX (just south of Fort Worth). We’re testing a new sales approach with a dedicated self-serve website that lets local businesses buy ad time, upload creative, and access proof-of-play—just like the big DOOH networks, but built for our local market. The goal: bring modern media tools and a familiar e-commerce experience to local advertisers.

What are some of your objectives for the coming year?
I’m focused on leveraging AI to streamline the planning and deployment of new digital billboard locations.
I’m also gearing up for the 2026 World Cup, with plans to transform The WINDWARD into a high-energy hub for brand activations during the Los Angeles matches. With street-level events, immersive pop-ups, and high-impact OOH, we’re creating a World Cup experience that lives at the intersection of culture, community, and creativity. Fun times ahead!
