<p>ADstruc is a New York-based platform for buying and selling outdoor advertising, kind of like an AdWords for the meatspace. Betabeat named the company one of its <a href="http://betabeat.com/2011/03/10-disruptive-new-york-start-ups/">10 Disruptive New York Startups</a> back in early 2011, but we haven't heard much of the company (aside from an <a href="http://betabeat.com/2011/09/rumors-acquisitions-friday-sept-15/">unfounded fundraising rumor</a>) in recent months.<!--more--></p>
<p>However, ADstruc has been busy. The company was behind this <a href="https://www.crowdtilt.com/campaigns/dont-mess-with-the-internet-billboard-in-lamar-smiths-home-district">crowdfunded billboard</a> in the home district of SOPA sponsor Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas), which was coordinated by Reddit cofounder Alexis Ohanian's company Breadpig. ADstruc also hooked up the infamous Pebble, the highest-grossing Kickstarter project ever, with a big billboard on the 101 in Silicon Valley.</p>
<p>The company has also ventured further into interactive display advertising with projects like this <a href="http://www.dailydooh.com/archives/69779">billboard for Bleacher Report</a>, which streamed news about specific sports teams based on tweets from locals.</p>

<p>"Things couldn't be better - we've hit our stride in our industry and are working on some major agency/tech integrations," CEO and cofounder John Laramie told Betabeat in an email. "We are now working with over 800 companies and have national coverage."</p>
<p>ADstruc, headquartered in Soho, is up to 12 employees and is hiring designers.</p>
