Bay Area Shop Owner’s Highway 101 Billboards Seeking a Husband Go Viral

A self-funded local ad buy paired with TikTok has driven thousands to MarryLisa.com.

Overview

  • Lisa Catalano, 42, built MarryLisa.com and is promoting it on multiple digital billboards along Highway 101 between San Francisco and Santa Clara.
  • The effort has drawn thousands of visits and multiple applications, boosted by TikTok visibility and widespread news coverage.
  • Catalano is screening messages for safety, has optimized eight-second billboard rotations for commute hours, and treats the campaign like a part-time job.
  • She also bought San Francisco taxi-top ads and is keeping the campaign active without a set end date as she prepares to schedule dates.
  • The ads are self-funded with undisclosed costs and dynamic pricing, and her stated non‑negotiables include alignment on religion and politics, a healthy lifestyle, monogamy, and no criminal record.
