proximity marketing

The use of mobile proximity targeting for retail customer acquisition grows in scale and sophistication each year. Techniques span from standard geofencing to complex campaigns that combine multiple location signals, such as lat/long, wifi, and beacons, as well as layering real-time and retargeting engagements.
Submitter's Company: 
Reveal Mobile
Member Mention: 
The digital sales team team at WRAL was already well versed in sophisticated advertising techniques and audience segmentation. However, they lacked specific tools to build location-based audiences on their mobile apps. With over fifty percent of their digital traffic coming via mobile, they partnered with Reveal Mobile to deliver a creative location-based targeting solution to their sales team and to their advertisers.
