Mobile has become the first screen for consumers—the device the majority of the world’s consumers prioritize above all other platforms in terms of internet time spent. Hyperlocal location data is unique to mobile and provides a lot of new, valuable information about consumers.
Nowadays, people have their phones with them at all times. Thus, location data is a good indicator of who you are, and what your interests and affinities are.
To better understand consumers’ real-world behavior by overlaying movement data with accurate and fresh point-of-interests’ data, adsquare integrated HERE Places and 2D Footprints global data sets.
Using 2D Footprints from HERE Technologies, adsquare was able to accurately define polygons of buildings instead of simply applying a radius to a latitude/longitude information. The adsquare team enabled their clients to run more contextually relevant and effective mobile advertising campaigns.
In compliance with existing privacy regulations, the adsquare team took raw location data of an anonymous user, data which is qualified and in real time. Then, they added local context to that data by overlaying it with data points such as POIs. This enabled them to see what places people visit, when, how often, etc.
Having such information over time, enabled adsquare to analyze user’s historic mobility patterns and build accurate audience segments. For example, if the adsquare team saw that a user visits a gym three times per week (and regularly visits sports goods stores), they then could assign him/her to a segment of “Sports Enthusiasts.”
Recently, adsquare worked for a global fast-food chain in France. The goal of this campaign was to reach a precise target group at scale, engage with them, and, finally, drive foot traffic to the defined restaurants.
