Essentially ad copy is everything.

Advertisers like Bulleit Bourbon did a really cool campaign where they paired up with different artists in the country and then they worked with those artists to create ad copy for BulleIt and posted that on their Wild Postings.

That was a really cool campaign, and then one really cool story is that one of my colleagues sent me a picture of her friend’s social media who had made a post of one of our Wild Postings and just the fact that a Wild Posting is at street level, someone who's walking by can very easily snap a photo and post it. I've been sent examples on social media of people taking pictures of our Wild Postings and that generally happens when it's really cool ad copy.
