KEVANI

What KEVANI does

KEVANI is a privately held out-of-home (OOH) advertising media company founded in 2016 by Kevin Bartanian and headquartered in Los Angeles. The company operates a curated portfolio of approximately 25 premium outdoor advertising destinations — predominantly digital billboards and spectaculars, with a smaller mix of vinyl and hand-painted murals — concentrated in Southern California (Los Angeles, Carson, Inglewood, West Hollywood, Ontario, Lynwood, Costa Mesa, Hollywood, Gardena) and extended to New York City (Squareview at 711 Seventh Avenue in Times Square and the SoHo Spectacle) and Baltimore (Baltimore Duo at CFG Bank Arena). Approximately 95% of the inventory is digital, and individual flagship assets generate between 35 million and 291 million audited or estimated monthly impressions.

The product stack layers three technology components over the physical media estate: KEVANI Intelligent Web Connect™, a proprietary real-time context-aware creative trigger engine that powers weather-responsive, event-triggered, and time/location-based dynamic content; KEVANI.AI (KEVANI Advertising Intelligence), launched May 2026 as an AI-powered advertising intelligence platform adding hyperlocal targeting, generative dynamic creative, and computer-vision-based audience detection; and KEVANI+, a self-serve campaign management platform at kevaniplus.com. Squareview's 6mm pitch resolution is among the sharpest in Times Square, while The Towers' 10mm pitch upgrade (completed early 2025) is described as the highest-resolution freeway display in Downtown Los Angeles.

KEVANI's revenue model is the rental of premium OOH advertising space to enterprise brands and advertising agencies, with quote-based pricing tied to location, display type, duration, and expected impressions under multi-year contracts. The company runs a sales-led go-to-market motion targeting both national and local brands and agencies, supplemented by direct client relationships and a self-serve channel via KEVANI+. Marquee customers include Hermès, Apple, Google, Nike, Chanel, American Express, Pepsi, Spotify, and Samsung; additional logos concentrate around the Baltimore arena (Apple Music, Anheuser-Busch, Adidas, FanDuel, New Balance, Ray-Ban, Svedka, Deep Eddy Vodka). KEVANI has never disclosed an external funding round and remains founder-controlled, with the company recognized on the Inc. 5000 list at rank #348 in 2023.
