Targeted and hyper-local, HotSpots are perfect for reaching Chicago’s neighborhoods. It’s a format that’s highly visible, but can be woven into the fabric of the neighborhoods… close to bars, restaurants and shopping.
With more than 200 HotSpots, across 40 distinct Chicago neighborhoods, we have Chicago covered. Check out a few of our favorites…

Milwaukee Ave. and Attrill St. in Logan Square
Segura Viudas Cava Sparkling Wine was smart in choosing their advertising locations as this spot is on the south facing wall of Logan Square’s Innjoy. After a long night at this local bar, a Segura Viudas Cava Sparkling Wine mimosa is the “hair of the dog” that sounds and tastes best to us!
