Welcome to the Location Data Blog!

Out-of-Home (OOH) advertising or outdoor media is integral to the multi-pronged marketing strategies adopted by consumer-facing businesses. Research has found that OOH drives more online activity per ad dollar spent than any other media. It is 382 percent more effective than TV, 200 percent more effective than print, and 63 percent more effective than radio ads in driving customers to an online platform. Outdoor media is instrumental for businesses to increase awareness of products and services - both online and offline. The market size is expected to reach US$ 33 Billion by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 13.41% during 2022-2027. 

POI data acts as the fundamental building block for digital mapping and navigation platforms. One of our clients – a prominent European mapping and navigation company – wanted to enrich their platforms by procuring a high-quality POI dataset covering several regions in Brunei. To help them achieve this objective, we launched a POI collection campaign in the city (without an already established presence) and successfully produced a dataset of 1500 verified POIs, all with photos. We reached a completeness level of 99.3%, far exceeding the industry standard.  

Footfall analysis is a powerful form of business intelligence that allows brands to understand the visitation patterns around various POIs (Points-of-Interest). For retail stores, restaurants, and other POSs, footfall analysis can highlight important patterns such as the busiest time of day, competitor traffic analysis, and more. Whereas for government and public agencies, footfall analysis can highlight the consumption and demand of public services for the betterment of citizens’ lives.

Whether you are an agency or a business with an established in-house marketing team, your goal is maximising ROI on your marketing and advertising spending.  

Mobile location data can help achieve your KPIs, especially in offline marketing. Using area-based insights you can make profitable marketing investments to improve brand visibility, gain new customers, or increase visits to a physical store. 

Experts forecast that Out-of-home (OOH) advertising will be a $33 billion industry by 2021. Despite the increasing popularity of digital advertising, OOH ads remain the most effective method of context-based advertising that improves brand visibility, drives customers to your business' location, and effectively delivers relevant messages in public interest.

Once considered overtaken by internet-based advertising and social media, OOH advertising has made a comeback in the past few years. This comeback has been made possible by the analysis of location data - collected from personal devices that are literally everywhere! Mobile location data provides actionable insight into where people are, and OOH media providers can harness this data to deliver relevant messages to their customers at the right time.

Their location intelligence platform Moving Audiences helps advertisers with advanced data capabilities that address OOH's unique characteristics and various formats.
