DOOH Marketing Platform: Plan, Buy & Measure Digital Out-of-Home Campaigns
Mesa gets treated as a Phoenix suburb on most media plans, but it runs its own school district, its own hospital system, and a helicopter factory — this is digital out-of-home built for the city on its own terms, not a slice of a Valley-wide radius. Screens at the gas pump, the grocery checkout, the gym, and the sports bar reach people while they're already out living their day in a format nobody can skip, mute, or scroll past.
Goldfish Ads makes it easy: plan, buy, and measure DOOH across 100+ US markets and 35+ venue types, and launch in under 24 hours instead of the weeks traditional out-of-home takes. Run it yourself in the self-serve platform or hand it to our team to plan and manage for you — either way you get fast, precise activation across every market, publisher, and inventory source, with built-in measurement so you can prove what your spend delivered.
Plan
Search real inventory by market, venue type, and audience, then build a media plan in seconds.
Buy
Activate programmatically across every screen — run it yourself or let our team manage it, with no insertion-order back-and-forth.
Measure
Foot-traffic attribution, website lift, and brand studies close the loop on every campaign.
This page zooms that platform into one market — here's exactly what's bookable in Mesa right now.
Why Mesa Matters
Mesa is Arizona's third-most populous city and the largest in the East Valley of the Phoenix metro, home to 511,764 residents across 138.8 square miles[4][3]. It borders the Phoenix metro, but it isn't overflow retail — it carries its own tax base, its own hospital system, and a defense manufacturer most Valley suburbs don't have.
Mesa Public Schools is the city's largest employer at 7,726 staff, followed by Banner Health at 6,826 and The Boeing Company at 3,945 — Boeing builds the AH-64 Apache attack helicopter at a plant adjoining Falcon Field[3]. That mix of public payroll, healthcare, and precision manufacturing supports office-lobby, point-of-care, and residential inventory well beyond what a typical suburb this size would carry.
The city's southeast corner is where the growth is: Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport carried a record 2,036,218 passengers in 2025[12], and Eastmark — a 3,200-acre master-planned community built on a former GM vehicle-testing site — has grown to roughly 7,000 homes and 26 million square feet of industrial space, including Apple and Meta facilities, in its first decade[6]. None of that existed twenty years ago.
Day to day this is still a driving market — 65.8% of workers commute alone by car with a mean trip of 24.7 minutes[4] — and the calendar adds two real spikes: the Arizona Celebration of Freedom draws crowds upwards of 50,000 downtown every Fourth of July[7], and Cactus League spring training packs Sloan Park and Hohokam Stadium with regional traffic every February and March[9][10].

Mesa Billboard Sizes & Creative Formats
These are the actual screen sizes running in the live Mesa plan[1]. You don't build a file per screen — you build one creative per aspect ratio and export it to each resolution. The market is overwhelmingly 16:9 landscape, with a real block of 9:16 portrait for gas-pump, elevator, and lobby screens.
| Resolution (px) | Aspect | Orientation | Screens |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1920×1080 | 16:9 | Landscape | 1,879 |
| 1080×1920 | 9:16 | Portrait | 317 |
| 1400×400 | 7:2 | Landscape (spectacular) | 81 |
| 1280×720 | 16:9 | Landscape | 20 |
| 728×90 | 364:45 | Landscape (banner strip) | 14 |
| 720×1280 | 9:16 | Portrait | 7 |

How Much Does DOOH Cost in Mesa?
You don't need a rate card or a six-figure budget to run out-of-home in Mesa. Campaigns start for as little as $50 a day with no long-term commitment — launch, pause, and adjust whenever you want.
Every screen in the plan is sold at one flat, transparent CPM (cost per thousand impressions) — the same rate whether your message runs on a casual-dining screen, a gas-pump display, a gym TV, or a bar screen. You're never charged extra for "better" inventory; a bigger budget simply earns more impressions across the East Valley. Scale up or down, market by market, anytime.

Target Screens Along Any Route, Not Just a Radius
Most out-of-home tools stop at a radius or a market boundary. Goldfish plans along the actual roads people drive. Hand us a route — a daily commute, a highway, a store-to-store delivery corridor — and we trace it with the Mapbox routing engine[13], then geofence every bookable screen within reach of that path: the billboards, gas-pump screens, grocery stores, bars, casual-dining spots, and gyms a driver actually passes end to end.
Here are three of the East Valley's major arteries running through Mesa. Pick one to see the screens hugging it and the venue mix along the whole corridor — every dot is a live, bookable screen from the same 12-mile plan[1].

Frequently Asked Questions About Mesa DOOH
What is DOOH advertising?
Digital out-of-home (DOOH) is advertising on the digital screens you pass in the real world — highway billboards, gas-pump screens, gyms, grocery aisles, bars, and doctor's offices. It is a format viewers cannot skip, block, or mute, and it reaches people while they are out living their day.
How much does DOOH advertising cost in Mesa?
Mesa DOOH campaigns start for as little as $50 a day with no long-term commitment. Every screen is sold at one flat, transparent CPM (cost per thousand impressions) — the same rate across every venue type — so a larger budget simply earns more impressions across the East Valley rather than access to different inventory.
What types of screens can I book in Mesa?
The live 12-mile Mesa plan carries 2,549 active digital screens across venue types including casual dining, grocery, doctor's offices, bars, gas stations, apartment lobbies, sports venues, and gyms.
How many people can a Mesa DOOH campaign reach?
The current Mesa plan delivers roughly 697.7 million monthly impressions across the East Valley, which sits in the shared Phoenix-Prescott Nielsen DMA #12 with 2,198,200 TV homes.
How fast can a Mesa DOOH campaign launch?
Campaigns launch in under 24 hours — plan, buy, and go live the same day, instead of the weeks that traditional out-of-home buying takes. Run it yourself in the Goldfish Ads platform, or have our team plan and manage it for you.
