Now live in Ann Arbor, MI — home of the University of Michigan

Your brand, on the screen
college students are already staring at.

AdVen turns bars, live events, and campus hotspots into advertising real estate. We put your brand in front of students where they already show up — not scrolling past an ad on their phone.

What We Do

Ads on screens, in bars, where students already are.

We turn idle TV screens and signage inside partner venues into real advertising inventory — then run and measure the campaign end to end.

TV Screen Advertising

Rotating shared display or a full-night dedicated screen — your ad, front and center on the bar's TVs.

Event Shoutouts & Signage

Brand mentions and physical signage tied to specific nights and events at partner venues.

Graphic Design

No creative ready? We design the ad for you, sized and formatted correctly for in-venue displays.

Performance Tracking

Real data on how your placement performed — trackable QR codes and more, not just a promise of impressions.

How It Works

From first conversation to real data, in five steps.

01

Connect

AdVen finds a business that resonates with students — or the business comes to us.

02

Pick a placement

Shared or dedicated TV, single night or a full week — whatever fits the campaign.

03

Build the creative

We build it, or you send it — sized and formatted for the venue's screens.

04

It runs

Your ad goes live at the venue on peak nights, in front of a real crowd. We handle the logistics — scheduling and getting it onto the screens — so nothing lands on you or the bar.

05

Get the data

You get real performance data on how the placement did — not just a promise.

Ad Gallery

Not mockups. Real screens, real bars.

AdVen placements running on a real night out — packed rooms, screens above the crowd, ads in the rotation. More venues as new campaigns go live.

Customer Story

One ad. One week. Real numbers.

What happened when a local bagel shop put a single ad into the shared rotation.

Bo's Bagels ad: 'Tomorrow morning, handled. Free bagel when you download the app.'

app downloads in one week

Bo's had a brand-new app and needed students to install it. One ad — a free bagel for downloading — ran in the shared rotation on the screens at Rick's. A week later: 50+ downloads from a crowd that had never heard of the app.

Who We Serve

A fit for any brand trying to reach college students in person.

Especially the kind of businesses students already talk about at the bar — and it's not just businesses. We work with college clubs and student organizations too: rush, events, fundraisers, anything that needs the whole campus to hear about it.
