How Pauze Works — two sides, one marketplace

Pauze connects two Lagos businesses: the screen owner who owns the display, and the local advertiser who wants to reach the people watching it. Sign up is free for both sides; revenue only flows when an ad actually goes live on a screen.

The two flows

Screen Owners

If you own a vertical display — in a salon, restaurant, gym, or any waiting room — you can turn it into monthly ad revenue in four steps.

Why both sides win

Self-serve end to end

No agency, no middleman. Screen owners and advertisers each run their side of the marketplace on their own — sign up, pick, publish, get paid.

Vertical-first creative

Every screen, template, and ad slot is built for the portrait orientation real displays actually run — no awkward 16:9 letterboxing.

Built for Lagos SMBs

Local-first targeting by neighbourhood and industry. Pricing in naira. Templates that match the businesses your customers actually walk past.
