As the designer at Blip, you'll own the end-to-end design process for our marketplace platform, which enables anyone to advertise on thousands of billboards across the country. This is a rare opportunity to have immediate, visible impact while defining the future of outdoor advertising.
Who is Blip?
Blip is a two-sided marketplace for accessing billboards on-demand. (Think: AirBnB for digital signs!) Advertisers can use our platform to upload and send digital ads to digital signs all across the country, including Times Square.
With this marketplace we serve two customers:
Advertisers - we have democratized access to billboards so that for the first time in history, a startup shoe company can occupy the same ad space as Nike does. May the best ideas and products win, regardless of who has the largest marketing budget.
Media Owners - this novel source of advertising demand (our Marketplace) creates new revenue streams for sign owners that they don't have to pay to acquire, allowing these small business owners to put more cash in their pockets for their mortgage, family vacations, and kids' college tuition.
Blip Culture:
We put customers first
We focus on experience before revenue
We take ownership
We dive deep
We work well together
We set clear expectations, and we inspect them
We deliver results
