About

The future of
OOH advertising.

We are a Lagos-born advertising-technology company making the sky the most exciting place for brands to tell their story.

01 Our story

Billboards compete with traffic, screens and a thousand other messages. The sky does not. When hundreds of synchronised drones draw a brand above a city, everyone looks up at the same time.

StareNow launched in 2023 to bring that moment to African brands. Our drone light shows and LED drone screens create visual displays in the sky that capture attention and imagination, from concerts and sporting events to city centres and remote landscapes.

What makes it advertising — not just a spectacle — is measurement. We use artificial intelligence to analyse every campaign: reach, engagement, return on ad spend and conversions, so brands can plan the sky alongside the rest of their media.

02 What we believe

Advertising people want to look at.

Mission

Earn attention

Give brands a medium that earns attention instead of interrupting it — and prove its value with data.

Vision

A skyline near you

LED drones, screens and shows wherever African audiences gather, from Lagos to Accra, Nairobi and Johannesburg.

Responsibility

Clean and safe

Reusable, low-noise, smoke-free shows, flown under licence and to strict safety standards.

03 Why the sky

The billboard nobody can scroll past.
