How it Works:

• Geo Targeting – A geo-targeting technology is used to trigger when a mobile phone enters a designated location. Once this happens an application that resides on their phone is contacted by us to retrieve the mobile phone’s Advertising ID.
• Collecting Advertising ID’s – Each time someone enters the geo-targeted area, we have a technology that can get the Advertising ID from mobile phones. This includes both iPhones and Android phones.  This is special because Advertising ID’s can only be obtained by having an application installed on their mobile phone.  An agreement with 180,000+ applications on both the Android Play Store and the Apple App Store allow us to get these Advertising ID’s using their apps.  Apps like Google Maps and other major application are some of these included in this agreement.
• Cross Device Retargeting – Advertising ID’s are then collected, tracked, cataloged and sent to a demand side platform where we can then retarget those were in the geo targeted areas. A special process using 3rd party services allow us to know which computers are connected to the home and work computers that they use.   This is done through processes such as logging into a bank account.  If a person has a banking application on their phone and logs in with their username and password the bank can tell it was from their mobile app.  Later if that same person logs in with their username / password on their home or work computer the bank also knows this and ties the mobile login information with the computer information.  This ties the mobile phone with the other computers the user uses.  They then let us use this information to place your ads on their mobile phones, work, and home computers.
