Advertising should not feel like a bidding war.

With The IRL Network, pricing starts at $1 per screen per day with industry exclusivity.

No auction. No getting bumped by someone with a bigger budget.

Would predictable advertising make your life easier?

Hyper-local beats hyper-targeted when you know exactly where your customers already spend time.

The IRL Network puts local businesses on real screens inside real venues, in the neighborhoods they actually want to reach.

No guessing. Just real people in real places.

What neighborhood should we build in next?

New Venue Partner Alert!!

We’re excited to officially welcome Anthem Ale House to The IRL Network!

Ken Eng has been a staple restaurant owner in the western suburbs of Chicago for years, and Anthem is exactly the kind of business we want this network built around.

Ken has spent years creating a place people actually want to come back to. Great food, a great atmosphere, and the kind of local ownership that makes a restaurant feel like part of the community instead of just another place to grab a drink.

Businesses like Anthem are what make the western suburbs special, and we’re genuinely excited to invest in what Ken has built and have them as one of our venue partners.

They also just rolled out a new happy hour menu, so make sure you stop in and check it out!

Help us welcome Ken and Anthem Ale House to the network.

And if you know another locally owned restaurant we should be investing in, tag them below!

What if advertising was actually simple?

With The IRL Network, it starts at $1 per screen per day.

Flat fee. No auction. Industry exclusivity. Minimum 960 plays per screen day.

No waking up tomorrow and finding out your costs went up because someone else spent more.

Would predictable pricing make you more likely to try a new advertising channel?

Facebook and Google can work, but they were never built around the needs of local small businesses.

The IRL Network was built differently.

Real screens. Real venues. Real neighborhoods.

No algorithm guessing. No bidding war. No bigger company taking your spot because they spent more.

Small businesses deserve more options.

What frustrates you most about Facebook or Google advertising?

Had a great time speaking with Dr. Nicole Armstrong about her newest venture, TheiDrinkapp! We dug into small businesses, entrepreneurship, and why building real community around a business isn't optional anymore....it's a necessity.

Can't wait to attend her launch party next week! Link below if you're interested in joining: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/idrink-official-launch-party-entourage-naperville-tickets-1993920654352?aff=ebdsoporgprofile

Huge shout out to the Naperville Area Chamber of Commerce for making the connection, this is exactly the kind of local ecosystem building that makes a difference.
