Digital Sign advertising across Genesee County

Businesses that host a My City In Motion screen receive:

✅ FREE ads for your business on 5 other screens in our network

✅ More attention in your space (great for waiting areas, checkout lines, lounges, bars, lobbies)

✅ A modern, “premium” look that upgrades your environment

✅ No competitor ads will run at your establishment (Example: We do not run restaurant ads inside another restaurant)

Hosting a screen turns your wall space into expanded marketing reach. You can promote your own business, specials, events, and sales directly inside your location while also gaining exposure throughout the network.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is it?

My City In Motion is a growing network of vertically mounted TV screens designed to resemble a TikTok or Reels-style video feed.

Approximately 40–50% of the content is advertising, and 50–60% is viral or engaging content.

The viral content keeps customers watching, which increases ad visibility and engagement.

Advertising on the screens is sold in bundled packages with My City Magazine print advertising.

What happens if a screen goes down?
