About All Points Media

We start with people,not placements.

Most advertising reaches people mid-scroll, mid-commute, or mid-skip. All Points Media places brands inside the environments where audiences are already present — gyms, medical waiting rooms, golf courses, restaurants, community centers — during the moments that matter, when people are present, relaxed, and ready to engage.

Our Story

Build a network, don't buy one.

Real-world, place-based audience environments
Audience-first activation

Darrell McSmith launched All Points Media in 1995 on a simple idea: location is the message. Powerful campaigns don't interrupt people — they meet them. Rather than highway billboards or skippable screens, APM went after the moments when people are unhurried and receptive.

Thirty years on, that idea operates at national scale: a network of 100,000+ leased venue locations across all 50 states and 210 media markets, spanning 50+ venue categories. Not fixed inventory sold off a rate card, but custom networks built around a client's audience.

The company grew by building what it needed. McSmith invented the AdVan mobile billboard in 2001. APM PrintWorks launched in 2009 to bring production in house. AP Installations followed for field deployment, and APM Digital added the Atlantic City Smart Boardwalk — 50 LED structures reaching 130M+ annual visitors.

Mission & Values

Help clients reach, engage, and activate real-world audiences — solving marketing challenges through audience-first strategy, custom networks, creativity, relationships, innovation, and measurable execution.

  • Audience First

    We start with who you need to reach and what will move them — before any location, venue, or placement.

  • Build, Don't Buy

    We design custom networks around your objectives, geography, timing, and budget — never a predefined package.

  • Accountable Execution

    Strategy, production, installation, and reporting work together so campaigns deploy reliably and prove results.

  • Human + Practical Intelligence

    People provide judgment, creativity, and field knowledge; technology accelerates research, planning, and reporting.
