What is Location Intelligence for Media & Advertising?
Location Intelligence is an analytical approach that leverages geospatial data to generate actionable insights for businesses. This data is visualized in the form of interactive maps, making patterns and trends easier to identify and understand. In the media and advertising industry, this approach answers questions that conventional data cannot, such as: Where does the target audience most frequently congregate? When are they there? Which locations generate the greatest advertising impact? And so on. With Location Intelligence, businesses can determine ad placement locations based on audience data, understand target audience movement patterns, and even measure whether ad exposure actually drives visits to their business locations.Types of Location Intelligence Data for Media & Advertising
There are three main types of data used in Location Intelligence for media and advertising purposes:Demographic Data
Demographic data includes information on population characteristics in an area, such as age, gender, income level, education level, and population density. This data helps businesses understand who lives or operates near an advertising location, allowing campaign messages to be tailored to relevant audience profiles.People Traffic Data
The next type is people traffic data. This data captures the movement and density of people at a location over a specific time period. It is generally sourced from mobile devices and shows how busy a location is, when peak hours occur, which days are the busiest, and what visitation patterns look like over time. This data is crucial for accurately assessing the potential exposure of an advertising location.Point of Interest (POI) Data
Finally, there is Point of Interest (POI) data. POIs are data about the existence and categories of specific places in an area, such as shopping centers, restaurants, offices, schools, hospitals, or public transportation stops. POI data helps businesses understand the context of a location: who is likely to pass through there, what their goals are, and whether the location is relevant to the product or service being advertised.Advertising Budget Optimization
By combining location intelligence and mobile data, businesses can identify the most visited areas and locations where their target market congregates. Furthermore, businesses can also measure how long their target audience spends in those areas (dwell time). From here, businesses can:- Stop wasted budget: eliminate OOH locations that are irrelevant to the target audience, even if they appear busy.
- Prioritize high-impact locations: focus on locations proven by data to have the highest audience density and longest dwell time.
Measuring Campaign Effectiveness
By leveraging location intelligence and mobile data, businesses can now measure the effectiveness of their campaigns in a precise, data-driven manner. Businesses can determine how many people are exposed to their OOH ads based on mobile device movement data around the display location. Furthermore, businesses can also measure whether the ads actually change consumer behavior. This is done by monitoring the increase in visits to businesses within a certain radius (for example, 50 meters from the ad location) before and after the campaign runs. If there is a spike in visits after the ad airs, it is safe to conclude that the ad has successfully driven foot traffic.Optimize Your Media & Advertising with LOKASI Intelligence
