4-Week Impressions (est.)

Lexington is a mid-size Kentucky market with a concentrated moviegoing audience across 2 theaters and 32 screens. Those venues generate an estimated 64,000 monthly impressions, making cinema a practical channel for brands that want consistent, local reach without the waste of broad digital or broadcast buys.

Nationally, the cinema audience skews young (median age 30), runs 60% cord-cutters, and delivers attention levels 2 to 6 times higher than live sports. For Lexington advertisers, that means a measurable, captive audience in a distraction-free environment that digital formats don't replicate.

Attention scores for cinema run 2 to 6 times higher than live sports and 6 to 16 times higher than social or digital placements, including CTV and YouTube.

How does cinema advertising compare to streaming or local TV in Lexington?

Local TV and streaming reach audiences who are multitasking, skipping ads, or watching on small screens. Cinema delivers a guaranteed, full-screen, sound-on impression with no skip option. With 60% of moviegoers being cord-cutters or cord-nevers, cinema also reaches a segment that local TV and traditional digital buys consistently miss.
