Firefly

In-car and taxi advertising with geofencing

Overview

Firefly operates in the out-of-home (OOH) advertising market, focusing on car-based advertising solutions. Its offerings include advertising on taxi and rideshare top screens, in-car displays, holograms, and car wraps. Campaigns are delivered through a network of smart vehicle screens and enhanced by geofencing, dynamic content serving, and real-time data triggers that tailor ads based on factors like weather, location, time, and sports scores. Firefly measures campaign effectiveness with metrics such as foot traffic, brand recall, and web/app conversions and charges clients for ad placements and campaign management. The company has expanded its reach by acquiring assets such as Taxi Ads Las Vegas to strengthen its market presence. The goal is to help brands reach mobile audiences with highly targeted, measurable car-based advertising and optimize campaigns through data-driven insights.

Simplify's take

What believers are saying

  • August 2026 Colombia launch opens Bogotá and Medellín for regional advertisers immediately.
  • March 2026 FDNY partnership validates citywide reach and public-sector credibility in New York.
  • February 2026 Vegas Miracle and October 2025 Glow Wraps expand premium, high-margin offerings.

What critics are saying

  • Uber and Lyft inventory dependence compresses supply if driver economics deteriorate in 2027.
  • Programmatic access via VIOOH commoditizes Firefly against JCDecaux, Lamar, and Clear Channel.
  • If city permits or rideshare policies tighten, mobility media sales collapse market by market.

What makes Firefly unique

  • Firefly spans 60,000 screens across seven countries, with 10 billion monthly impressions.
  • April 2026 VIOOH integration puts moving taxi inventory into programmatic DOOH workflows.
  • Glow Wraps and Vegas Miracle package mobility, landmark DOOH, and experiential activations.

Firefly wins two Gold and one Silver at the 2026 OBIE Awards.

Firefly wins two Gold and one Silver at the 2026 OBIE Awards. October 22, 2026 Firefly is thrilled and grateful to be recognized as a Gold and Silver winner at the 2026 OBIE Awards across three categories, for two New York City campaigns running on its digital taxi tops. Verified Closer Than You Think United Airlines | 72andSunny | Dentsu * Gold, Contextual Brilliance * Gold, Programmatic & Real-Time OOH Firefly's digital tops turned NYC taxis into live travel advisors for United Airlines. Using real-time GPS and traffic data, each screen showed the drive time to Newark (EWR) and JFK from the cab's exact location, challenging New Yorkers' habit of defaulting to JFK. The creative was generated by the city itself, so the proof appeared at the very moment travelers were deciding. Give Us the Finger ŌURA | nice&frank | Rapport * Silver, Industry Sectors: Healthcare OOH Firefly's digital and static tops took "Give Us the Finger" to the streets of New York City for ŌURA, reframing aging as something to look forward to rather than fear. The line reads as a provocation at first, then pays off once you realize the index finger is where the Oura Ring is worn. On the move, the idea met New Yorkers right where life happens. A Night To Celebrate at MoMA Great campaigns are built together. A big thank you to its clients, agency partners, and every Firefly team member who helped bring these award-winning campaigns to life.

Firefly expands Latin American presence with launch in Colombia.

Firefly expands Latin American presence with launch in Colombia. ACCESS Newswire 25 Aug 2026, 20:33 GMT+10 New operations in Bogotá and Medellín connect brands with audiences across two of Colombia's most influential urban markets NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / August 25, 2026 / Firefly, the global leader in mobility media, has expanded its international operations into Colombia, establishing a presence in Bogotá and Medellín. The move builds on Firefly's entry into Mexico and marks the next stage in the development of a scaled media network across Latin America. Firefly's arrival in Colombia strengthens a global network already active across the United States, Mexico, Canada, England, Scotland, and Ireland. Adding Bogotá and Medellín brings Firefly's street-level advertising capabilities to another major Latin American market, giving brands greater flexibility to activate locally while coordinating campaigns across regions. Through moving media, Firefly will give global, regional, and local advertisers a new way to build visibility across the neighborhoods, commercial centers, business districts, and cultural destinations that shape daily life in Colombia. Bogotá, Colombia's capital and largest city, offers access to audiences across the country's leading center for business, commerce, and culture. Medellín brings a distinct opportunity as a growing destination for technology, creativity, tourism, and entrepreneurship. Together, the two cities establish a strong foundation for Firefly's continued growth in Colombia. Built for the Way Colombia Moves Colombia's major cities are defined by movement, with consumers navigating busy urban environments throughout the day. Firefly's model allows campaigns to travel alongside those audiences, extending brand presence across multiple neighborhoods, routes, and moments rather than relying on a single fixed location. Firefly brings the same advanced campaign measurement and reporting capabilities available in its U.S. markets to Colombia. Advertisers receive heatmaps, verified proof-of-delivery, and detailed campaign performance and uptime reporting, providing clear visibility into where, when, and how consistently campaigns run. These capabilities give brands greater accountability and the ability to plan and measure coordinated activations across Colombia and Firefly's broader international network. 'Colombia is a natural next step for Firefly as we continue to expand our mobility network internationally,' said Jeff Weiss, VP of National Sales and Regional Growth at Firefly. 'Bogotá and Medellín give brands access to two incredibly important markets, and for our clients, it means they can work with one partner to build coordinated mobility campaigns across North America, Latin America, and Europe while still having the local expertise needed in each market.' The addition of Colombia marks another step in Firefly's international growth, extending its ability to help brands connect with audiences across markets, cultures, and everyday journeys. About Firefly Firefly is the global leader in moving out-of-home advertising, with a network of more than 60,000 screens across all major U.S. markets and operations in 7 countries, delivering over 10 billion impressions each month. Firefly transforms traditional static environments into dynamic engagement platforms through car top displays and branded wraps on taxi and rideshare vehicles, along with experiential activations. Leveraging its digital car top network and moving fleet, Firefly provides geo-targeted reach and contextual targeting, enabling brands to deliver relevant messages in real time. Firefly is headquartered in New York City, with offices in Los Angeles, Chicago, Las Vegas, London, and Istanbul. For media inquiries, contact:
