Live, Local, and In the Moment: Rethinking Media Inside Concert Venues
Manage episode 487257935 series 2884455
What if the best place to run your next ad isn’t online — but inside a packed concert venue, right before the lights go down?
In this episode of Fireside, Chris Marine and David Gogel sit down with Jared McCarthy, Co-Founder of Venue Ad Network, to explore how screens inside live music venues are becoming a powerful tool for both brands and communities.
They unpack the origin of VAN, the role independent venues play in local culture, and why media rooted in real-world moments might just be the future. From rideshare partnerships to creative storytelling between sets, this conversation hits on strategy, purpose, and possibility - all while staying grounded in the music.
Whether you're a marketer, a venue owner, or someone who just misses the feeling of a bass line in your chest, this episode is for you.
