Cinema puts your message in front of an in-seat audience that can't change the channel or scroll past your ad.

Yes. Alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, firearms, and political advertising are not accepted in cinema placements. These restrictions apply across the network regardless of market size. Most local businesses are eligible without issue, including healthcare, food service, home services, education, and retail.

Running two or three consecutive blocks builds stronger frequency across Kinston's moviegoing audience. With 11,200 monthly impressions available through one theater, sustained presence builds recognition faster in a community this size than it would in a larger market.
