- The World's First Kite Banner Media Company
Elevate Your Brand
Above The Coast
KiteBanners is a coastal media platform that puts your brand in full view of the millions of people who spend their days on the beach where the sun, the sky and the shoreline do half the work for you.
- The Opportunity
Millions of beachgoers.Millions of potential clients.
Every year, coastal destinations draw some of the largest outdoor audiences in the country. People arrive relaxed, stay for hours, and give their attention freely to whatever is around them.
Yet for all that attention, the media formats available on the beach stay surprisingly limited a handful of planes, the occasional banner boat. That gap is the opportunity. KiteBanners is how brands finally reach it.

What is KiteBanners?
KiteBanners is the world’s first coastal kite banner media company. We fly large, custom-branded kites over high-traffic beaches and waterfronts, putting your brand in full view of the audiences who gather there.
Can you measure the ROI or impact of a coastal media campaign?
No format in coastal or water-based out-of-home advertising has a reliable, third-party way to measure downstream impact, brand lift, or sales attribution — this is a category limitation, not specific to us. What we give you is verifiable proof of the activation: GPS-tracked flight paths, timestamps, and photo and video of every pass.
Where does KiteBanners operate?
We currently operate across South Florida, the California coast, and the New Jersey Shore. We select locations based on where your audience gathers, the season, and your specific market.
Can campaigns run across multiple markets or regions?
How long does a campaign last?
Campaigns range from a single-day activation to multi-week or multi-month deployments, shaped around your objectives and budget.
What happens if the weather doesn't cooperate?
Do you handle permits and logistics?
Do you provide photos and footage from the campaign?
How large are the kites?
Our kites range from 10 to 18 square meters and stay visible from over a mile away.
Is this an environmentally friendly format?

- The Origin Story
How a RE/MAX kite became the world's first kite banner company.
A couple of years ago, while looking for fresh ways to promote my real estate business, I had a spark of inspiration. RE/MAX is a recognized brand, and I thought: why not fly a branded kite above the local beaches as a memorable way to connect?
It wasn't just about visibility it was about sparking conversations in a fun, approachable way. Immediately, people noticed. They'd come up to me on the beach, ask about the kite, and we'd chat. Those conversations turned into meaningful connections, and before I knew it, we were closing deals directly tied to those interactions.
That's when it hit me: beaches attract millions of people, yet brands have very few ways to reach them. What began as a creative RE/MAX stunt became the seed for KiteBanners an entirely new way for brands to connect with coastal audiences, and the first dedicated kite banner media company in the world.
