What is Local Loop?

A Local Advertising Network Built Around Real Communities

Most advertising platforms ask businesses to choose between going extremely broad or trying to find a local audience inside a platform built for the entire world.

Local Loop takes a different approach.

Our network is organized around the individual communities that make up the Upper Cumberland. Participating businesses and hospitality properties host Local Loop screens indoors, while advertisers choose the markets where they want their businesses to be seen.

Local Loop manages the screens, network, scheduling and advertising creative.

The result is a simple idea:

Local places provide the audience. Local businesses provide the message. Local Loop connects the two.

Why We Built It

The Upper Cumberland Isn’t One Market.

Cookeville isn’t Crossville. Sparta isn’t McMinnville. The communities around Dale Hollow have a different rhythm than the communities surrounding Center Hill. And a business serving one town doesn’t necessarily need the same advertising footprint as a company serving the entire region.

Local Loop was designed around that reality.

Instead of treating the Upper Cumberland as one oversized advertising zone, we created interconnected Market Loops that allow businesses to focus locally, expand into neighboring markets, or build a presence across the entire region.

Local when you need local. Regional when you need regional.

How the Loop Works

1. LOCAL BUSINESSES HOST THE SCREENS

Local Loop screens are placed indoors at participating businesses, professional offices, restaurants, community spaces, hospitality properties and other qualified locations.

2. ADVERTISERS CHOOSE WHERE THEY WANT TO BE SEEN

Businesses select the Market Loop or combination of markets that best matches the customers they want to reach.

3. LOCAL LOOP MANAGES THE NETWORK

We handle the equipment, installation, scheduling, maintenance and professional ad creative that keeps the network running. Professional ad creative is included as part of your Local Loop campaign.

Two Ways to Reach the Community

Local Loop is designed around two audiences that move through the Upper Cumberland differently.

Community Loop

Reach the People Who Are Already Here.

Community Loop screens appear inside local businesses and community locations where residents spend time during their everyday routines.

The goal is simple: help local businesses become more familiar to the people who live, work and shop nearby.

Visitor Loop

Reach People While They’re Exploring.

Visitor Loop screens are placed within lodging and hospitality locations where travelers are deciding where to eat, shop, visit and explore next.

It gives local businesses a way to become part of the visitor experience while those decisions are actually being made.

WHAT MAKES LOCAL LOOP DIFFERENT?

We’re Building a Network, Not Selling a Screen.

The value of Local Loop isn’t any single television hanging on a wall. It’s what happens when those screens work together.

Instead of selling individual screen locations one at a time, Local Loop allows advertisers to build visibility across an entire local market. That means the network becomes more useful as it grows.

MARKET-BASED ADVERTISING

Businesses choose the communities that matter to them rather than purchasing individual screens.

PROFESSIONAL CREATIVE INCLUDED

Advertisers don’t need to arrive with finished digital-screen artwork. We help create the advertising that runs on the network.

MANAGED TECHNOLOGY

Local Loop handles the hardware, scheduling and network operation.

HOST
PARTNERSHIPS

Our hosts are part of the network, not simply places where we found an empty wall.

The Bigger idea

Keep More Discovery Local.

There are incredible businesses throughout the Upper Cumberland that people drive past every day without knowing they exist. Visitors leave our communities without discovering places they would have loved. Local companies spend advertising dollars trying to reach nearby customers through platforms designed to reach everyone, everywhere.

We think there should be another option. One built around the places people already go. One that helps businesses become more visible in the communities they actually serve. One that helps residents discover more of what’s around them and helps visitors experience more of the Upper Cumberland while they’re here.

That’s what we’re building with Local Loop.
