Use case — Event directories
Monetize your event directory or calendar
Event directories and community calendars reach people at the moment they are deciding where to go. DirectoryAdServer lets organizers, venues, and sponsors pay to feature events and run banners — with date-windowed scheduling and a self-serve portal — while you keep all the revenue.
Why it fits
Inventory built around the calendar
Featured & promoted events
Let organizers pay to feature their event at the top of your calendar or category — native placements that read as part of the listings.
Sponsor & vendor banners
Sell banner zones to venues, caterers, ticket sellers, and sponsors who want to reach an audience actively planning to attend.
Date-window scheduling
Run campaigns with start and end dates so a promoted event automatically goes live and retires around the event itself.
Self-serve for organizers
Give every organizer a portal to upload creatives, manage their campaigns, and watch the impressions and clicks roll in.
