Sinkside Billboards: Capturing the World’s Most Endangered Resource—Attention
The Company and the Idea
In today’s fragmented media landscape, consumer attention has become the scarcest and most valuable resource in advertising. The average person is exposed to thousands of ads every day across phones, computers, televisions, and connected devices, making it increasingly difficult for brands to capture real engagement.
Sinkside Billboards was created to solve this problem.
We have developed a new high-impact advertising channel that operates in one of the last remaining phone-free environments: the restroom sink.
Think about it: where else can you show someone a 15-second video advertisement and be confident they cannot scroll away?
Sinkside Billboards installs elegant 7-inch HD digital screens at restroom sinks in premium, high-traffic venues. While someone washes their hands, they naturally look up at the mirror—placing our screen directly in their line of sight.
This creates 30–40 seconds of focused, unavoidable attention in a distraction-free environment.
In fact, our screen placement is up to 15 times larger in a viewer’s field of vision than a traditional billboard or airport TV advertisement, making it one of the most dominant ad placements available in the physical world.
Unlike nearly every other advertising channel, this is one of the only places where a person is guaranteed not to have their phone in their hand.
That moment of presence—when someone is standing still, looking forward, and engaged with their surroundings—creates a uniquely powerful opportunity for brands to connect.
Entrepreneur and original Shark Tank investor Kevin Harrington described the concept this way:
"Sinkside Billboards offers unparalleled engagement in a captive environment… there’s nothing else like it."
Our goal is not simply to place screens. It is to create a new communication environment where brands can connect with consumers during a moment of reflection, free from digital noise.
Our Business Model
Sinkside Billboards creates value for both advertisers and venue partners through a simple and scalable model.
For Advertisers
Brands and agencies purchase advertising placements across our growing network of restroom sink screens.
Campaigns can include video or static ads and incorporate QR codes that allow viewers to immediately engage with the brand using their phones after washing their hands.
Advertisers benefit from:
• Guaranteed attention in a distraction-free environment
• Screen dominance within the viewer’s field of vision
• High ad recall rates (70–92%)
• Measurable engagement through QR code interactions
• Detailed campaign analytics and reporting
This creates one of the most memorable and measurable forms of digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising available today.
Complementing Existing Advertising Channels
Sinkside Billboards does not compete with traditional advertising channels — we complete them.
Billboards, airport screens, television, and digital ads reach consumers while they are distracted, walking, driving, or scrolling on their phones. Sinkside Billboards reaches consumers during a rare moment when they are standing still, looking forward, and fully present.
Because of this, Sinkside campaigns work exceptionally well alongside traditional advertising. A consumer may see a brand on a highway billboard, hear it on the radio, or pass it on an airport screen — but the sinkside moment is often where the message is actually absorbed and remembered.
Rather than replacing existing media, Sinkside Billboards amplifies it, providing the final moment of focused attention that reinforces a brand’s message and drives engagement through QR codes and mobile interaction.
In other words:
We don’t compete for attention — we capture it.
For Venue Partners
We partner with high-traffic venues and install our screens at no cost to the location.
Venue partners receive:
• A new passive revenue stream through shared advertising revenue
• A free advertising slot on the network to promote their own business, events, or promotions
• The ability to highlight or sponsor nonprofit organizations and community causes
• Modern digital enhancements that elevate restroom spaces
• A fully managed system including installation, maintenance, and content management
This creates a win-win partnership where venues monetize their foot traffic while also gaining their own promotional channel inside their facility.
