Mural Agency (Tier 2/3 Cities)

Establish a mural agency in underserved Tier 2 or 3 cities to arbitrage advertising space on blank walls. The agency would secure wall placements from building owners, manage artists for mural creation, and sell these placements to advertisers seeking hyper-local or creative out-of-home advertising, leveraging the viral potential of murals over traditional billboards.

Why now

Traditional billboards are ignored; murals generate organic social impressions and earned media due to their artistic process and shareability. Opportunity in Tier 2/3 cities where no one is doing it.

Market gap

Lack of creative out-of-home advertising options in Tier 2/3 cities; untapped 'remnant inventory' of blank walls not used by traditional billboard companies.
