Premium Tower: $200K Annual Revenue from Elevator Screens
How an office building turned elevator downtime into a profitable advertising channel, generating $200,000 in annual revenue.

The Opportunity
Premium Tower, a 40-story office building in downtown, had a captive audience problem—or rather, an opportunity. With 8 elevators serving 12,000 daily visitors, thousands of people spent 2-3 minutes per day staring at blank walls. The building management saw potential for a new revenue stream while providing value to tenants.
