Captivate

What is Captivate?

Captivate makes billboards, signs, and digital displays that are available in multiple cities and markets.

How does Activate integrate with Captivate?

Content created in VTS Activate can be sent to Captivate for display in their digital displays. When the integration is made available in a Channel, a checkbox appears that sends the information to Captivate for distribution in the buildings and displays in your agreement with Captivate.

How do I select where to distribute my material?

Activate customers should have an agreement in place with Captivate that determines which buildings and digital billboards will show their material. The Activate platform is used to create the information used in the advertisement. An optional QR code works as a link that takes the user to the content in Activate.
