New York is a national tier-1 CPM market — premium creative routinely clears among the highest rates in the United States. Programmatic clearing across the state's inventory typically ranges $8–$22 CPM, with the upper end reflecting prime-window prime-venue placements during weekday lunch (11 AM-2 PM) and the weekday-evening leisure window (5-9 PM).
The state-level venue-category distribution by active screen count: retail stores (254 screens), outdoor placements (125 screens), entertainment venues (50 screens), health & beauty stores (18 screens), mixed-format venues (12 screens). Buyers running creative against New York can mix-and-match these categories within a single flight, using IAB Audience Taxonomy 1.1 codes to compose audience archetypes that span the state's commercial-and-leisure footprint without re-bidding for each format.
Audience-archetype distributions in New York reflect the state's demographic mix and venue-category breakdown. Programmatic buyers using the IAB Audience Taxonomy 1.1 codes can compose multi-segment campaigns inside the state — for example, mixing morning retail stores placements (commuter-and-shopping audience) with evening leisure-venue placements (entertainment-and-bar audience) to reach distinct dayparts inside a single flight. Proof-of-play telemetry from every screen confirms each billable impression independently of the SDK quartile callbacks, giving advertisers a verifiable delivery record across all 83 cities served.
Seasonality across New York DOOH inventory follows predictable patterns: Q4 typically delivers the strongest CPM clearing prices as retail-and-consumer-brand advertisers ramp holiday spend, Q1 sees softer clearing as advertiser budgets reset, and Q2-Q3 produce steady mid-band clearing as travel, automotive, and back-to-school campaigns rotate through the inventory. Buyers planning year-long flights against New York should expect roughly 30-40% of the year's total impression delivery to clear during the October-December window.
