What Would The World Miss if YOU Didn’t Exist?The Promo Drone Story


A Moment That Sparked a Movement

It all started with a real estate drone shoot. A simple aerial flyover—until something unexpected happened. Neighbors came outside, phones in hand, asking questions, recording footage.

The drone wasn’t broadcasting anything. It was just there. But it grabbed attention instantly.


That was the spark.


In a world overloaded with screens, static signage, and noise, I realized something powerful: people still look up.

So I thought:Screw it—we’re building this. We weren’t just going to build another drone—we were going to build an attention-capturing platform that unlocks value in the real world.


Promo Drone is built to reduce friction—at scale.

  • Friction in capturing attention

  • Friction in generating revenue

  • Friction in activating real-world excitement

We help event organizers drive ROI with unforgettable sponsor moments.We give drone operators a path to six-figure income.We give brands and public agencies a visual messaging tool that actually cuts through the noise.

We’re not just flying drones—we’re launching a new communication layer for the world.


Solving Real-World Friction

The world would still rely on outdated, inefficient methods to grab public attention—banners, bullhorns, billboards, and jumbotrons that are expensive, static, or easily ignored. There would be no scalable, airborne solution to deliver real-time, high-visibility messaging where it matters most—during live events, in emergency situations, or at high-traffic gatherings.


What They Might Tease Us For

They’d probably say:"Jamar never stops. He’s always inventing, always imagining, always trying to show the world how cool and valuable this tech really is." They’d call me endlessly optimistic—convinced that if we can envision it, we can engineer it. And they’re not wrong.That same mindset is what pushed us to build not just a drone—but a scalable ecosystem for aerial messaging, training, lead generation, and operator success.


The Crisis That Nearly Shut Us Down

When COVID hit, it felt like the floor dropped out from under us. Our entire business model was built around live events—festivals, sports, outdoor gatherings. Practically overnight, everything shut down.


No events. No crowds. No flights.We weren’t just paused—we were in jeopardy.


But then something unexpected happened. Word started spreading—globally. Organizations, cities, and businesses began reaching out, looking for ways to communicate better during crisis situations. They saw the potential in airborne messaging for public safety, reopening campaigns, and post-pandemic revenue recovery.

That interest gave us space to breathe—and then came the lightbulb moment:What if we didn’t just operate the drones—what if we sold the platform? That was the pivot.We expanded into hardware sales, operator training, and infrastructure support, giving clients the ability to deploy our technology themselves. That shift not only saved the company—it set us on a path to scale globally, far beyond what our original model ever envisioned.


Turning Skepticism into Repeat Business

Some clients have dismissed it as a gimmick—or said it couldn’t work in crowded venues due to safety concerns or regulatory restrictions.


But here’s the reality: It works. It’s legal. And it drives real revenue.


We’re FAA Part 107 compliant, and we work closely with event organizers to operate within approved flight zones. Our flights are integrated directly into the event experience, not around it—giving us visibility without compromising safety.

And the results speak for themselves. We’ve been booked at major sporting events, each paying $4,500+ for just three sponsored flights—10 to 15 minutes each. That’s not theoretical—that’s cash in, eyes up, and sponsors thrilled.

We’ve turned “this can’t work” into “how soon can we book you again?”


Battle-Tested in Harsh Environments

We flew in 12°F weather, with gusting winds and falling snow, over a waterway in Toronto to test live comms in front of a pedestrian bridge. Despite the brutal cold and challenging environment, the Starling X.2 held position, displayed crisp messaging, and exceeded our expectations. That flight proved this isn’t just a warm-weather promo tool—it’s a rugged, real-world system ready for global deployment.


The Tech Detail That Took Months And Just Works

The LED screen. It had to be lightweight, ultra-bright (5000 nits), power-efficient, and balanced for stable flight.

We went through dozens of iterations—testing in daylight, tuning for visibility, optimizing for weight. Now it just works.No tweaking, no drama—just beautiful, clear messaging that owns the sky.


Our Inside Joke

Whenever someone says, “This will be easy,” the team just laughs and says, “Jamar probably already has three versions of it in his head.” It’s become our inside joke—because I’m always creating, always building, always thinking about how to push the boundaries of what’s possible. It’s our way of embracing the creative chaos and having fun while we innovate.


Unlocking Unexpected Profit

It’s not just about saving money—it’s about unlocking new profit.


When clients see how much they can generate by integrating Promo Drone into their event strategy, it stops them in their tracks. Our platform turns one drone flight into a rotating billboard in the sky, giving event managers the ability to aggregate multiple sponsors into a single, high-visibility activation.

That means lower sponsor entry points, more inventory to sell, and higher margins across the board.

One client literally said,“I can make how much? That’s incredible. I’ll take it!”

With minimal overhead and major crowd impact, Promo Drone makes it easy for event organizers to turn attention into revenue—and for sponsors to get in on the action.


Everyone wins: the event, the advertisers, the drone operator, and the audience.


Reframing the Drone Narrative

That drones are gimmicks or novelties.


Promo Drone proves drones are smart, scalable infrastructure for communication—whether for safety, marketing, or community engagement. This isn’t a toy. It’s a new channel of influence.


What the World Would Truly Miss

The ability to instantly grab mass attention from the sky—and convert it into real-world value.

No friction. No clutter.Just clarity, visibility, and economic opportunity at scale.
