Why not project movies on the moon? Won’t work every night, but will get a lot of viewers.

(*slam is a violent political movement that escapes scrutiny by hiding behind the facade of religion.)
I recall a science fiction story from the 1950s in which a space traveller smuggled an explosive device that spread carbon in a pattern all over the moon's Earth facing surface to replicate the Coca Cola Logo... which became a permanent advertising fixture in the night sky. . . much to everyone's horror.
This Billboard was part of a hoax several years ago:
These guys apparently are serious.

Better not plant any racist trees.

Unless the advertising is directed to astronomers or residents of a moonbase, it’s completely ridiculous.
You wouldn’t be able to read it unless the billboard was bigger than the moon itself.

I am surprised they got an initial round of funding since they didn’t detail how eyeballs would be cmapped and tracked to each viewer ...

Hey! That was MY idea! The moon is so reflective that you could light up the dark portion (during waning and new moons) with a raster-based laser image from a satellite in Earth-Moon Lagrange orbit. During full moons the sunlight would swamp out any laser image.

Next on the moon: A strip mall.
Not long before the moon becomes a visual sewer like just about every urban area in the U.S.
