HostAd

HostAd is Ukraine's first self-serve digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising platform that transforms how businesses connect with local audiences. Imagine bypassing traditional advertising agencies, endless contracts, and weeks of waiting. Instead, you open a map, select high-traffic venues like cafes, salons, barbershops, and coworking spaces, and launch your campaign on their screens in minutes. You pay by the second, no paperwork, no hidden fees, and no minimum commitments. This platform is built for two distinct groups: advertisers who want fast, affordable, and trackable local reach, and venue owners who want to turn their idle screen space into a passive income stream. For advertisers, HostAd eliminates the complexity of outdoor advertising. You gain real-time analytics, transparent pricing, and the power to turn offline impressions into trackable clicks using integrated QR codes. For venue owners, the value is equally compelling. You host a free screen, and HostAd pays you for the airtime your customers see. The entire ecosystem is online, from selection and payment to monitoring and reporting. HostAd empowers you to take control of your advertising strategy, making every hryvnia count and every impression measurable. It is a revolution in local marketing, designed for a modern, fast-paced world where agility and data drive success.

Interactive Map-Based Venue Selection

Choose your advertising locations visually on an interactive map. You can browse cafes, salons, barbershops, coworkings, and other venues, viewing their characteristics, estimated traffic, and pricing instantly. This eliminates the guesswork and allows you to target specific neighborhoods or high-traffic areas with surgical precision.

Pay-Per-Second Billing with No Contracts

Forget about fixed monthly fees or minimum spends. HostAd charges you by the second your ad is displayed. There are no agency fees, no long-term contracts, and no paper documents to sign. You have complete control over your budget, launching campaigns for as little as a few hundred hryvnias and scaling up as you see results.

Real-Time Analytics and QR Code Tracking

Turn offline impressions into measurable digital actions. Every ad displayed on a HostAd screen includes a unique QR code. Viewers can scan it with their phone, and you can track these clicks in real time through your dashboard. You also receive detailed metrics on impressions, engagement, and campaign performance, providing complete transparency.

Unified Campaign Management Dashboard

Manage all your campaigns from a single, intuitive online cabinet. You can monitor statuses, view photo reports, access digital contracts and invoices, and review your order history. The platform is accessible from any device, including smartphones and tablets, giving you the freedom to launch, pause, or adjust campaigns on the go.

Local Business Promotion

A new coffee shop in Kyiv wants to attract foot traffic from nearby offices. Using HostAd, they select five coworking spaces and three barbershops within a one-kilometer radius. They launch a campaign with a special discount QR code, paying only for the seconds their ad plays. Within hours, they see scans and new customers walking through their door.

Event and Flash Sale Announcements

A fitness studio is running a weekend-only membership sale. They need immediate visibility without a long planning cycle. They use HostAd to target high-traffic cafes and salons in their district. The campaign goes live in minutes, the QR code drives direct sign-ups, and they track conversions in real time, adjusting the ad creative on the fly.

Brand Awareness for National Chains

A national cosmetics brand wants to test a new product launch in specific Ukrainian cities. They use HostAd to run targeted campaigns in salons and beauty studios across Lviv and Odesa. The platform's analytics show which venues generate the most engagement, allowing the brand to optimize spend and scale successful locations instantly.

Passive Income for Venue Owners

A busy barbershop in Kharkiv has a large TV screen in the waiting area. The owner signs up as a HostAd partner, installs the free screen, and earns passive income from the airtime sold to advertisers. The screen displays relevant local ads while customers wait, creating a valuable service and a new revenue stream with zero upfront investment.

Can I browse available screens without registering?

Yes. HostAd offers a guest mode where you can explore the entire map of available venues, view their characteristics, and see estimated pricing. However, to book a screen, launch a campaign, or access detailed analytics, you will need to create a free account.

What payment methods are accepted on the platform?

HostAd supports various online payment options for your convenience. You can pay directly through the platform using major credit cards or local Ukrainian payment systems. All transactions are processed securely, and you receive an electronic receipt immediately.

How quickly can I get my campaign approved and running?

The process is designed for speed. After you select your venues, upload your creative, and complete payment, your campaign is typically approved and goes live within minutes. There are no manual approvals or waiting periods, allowing you to react to market trends instantly.

Can I cancel or modify a campaign after it has started?

Yes, you have full control over your active campaigns. Through your online cabinet, you can pause, modify, or cancel a campaign at any time. Any unused airtime is credited back to your account balance, ensuring you only pay for what you actually use.
