NEW YORK, Feb. 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- PlaceIQ, the company building a new model of consumer behavior by connecting physical and digital activities across time, space and mobile devices, and LiveRamp, an Acxiom company, today announced the completion of a series of industry-first addressable TV campaigns.
These campaigns, conducted for major brands in automotive, retail and tourism, delivered highly targeted TV ads to households and utilized location data to measure real world visitations, yielding advanced insights into performance. The result was an average lift in visitation of 46 percent across the three verticals, measured by PlaceIQ's Place Visit Rate (PVR®) metric.
Key takeaways from these campaigns, which were all measured against control groups and based on highly accurate movement and location data, reveal the impact of addressable TV across verticals:
"The ability to measure the effect of addressable TV, an already powerful targeting mechanism for home viewership, on foot traffic is a pivotal industry milestone," said Duncan McCall, CEO and co-founder of PlaceIQ. "It provides a definitive answer to whether that TV ad led to a real world interaction. This requires a measurement partner with access to incredible scale. We've had a head start in this area, building a platform that interprets 10 billion movement data signals per day from more than 100 million consumers. I'm proud PlaceIQ, working alongside LiveRamp, is the first to bring this vision into reality."
To analyze the effect of addressable TV, PlaceIQ provided location insight and visitation measurement, while Acxiom's LiveRamp subsidiary provided the privacy safe data onboarding and connectivity services needed to match and deliver campaign audience segments. In addition to the strong campaign results, this collaboration provided valuable anonymous audience analytics capable of informing future addressable TV campaigns.
"Better connections across data sets and marketing platforms help marketers engage consumers with relevant messages and tie campaigns back to real results," said Travis May, President and GM of LiveRamp. "We're excited to provide connectivity technology that helps PlaceIQ deliver high-impact addressable TV campaigns to leading brands across verticals."
The announcement was made in conjunction with RampUp 2016, the premier event for leaders in the advertising technology industry.
PlaceIQ invented the PVR metric in 2012 and has since delivered benefits and insights to hundreds of brands across retail, CPG, auto, travel, entertainment and more. In addition to widespread adoption by brands and media agencies, PVR has been recognized by leading industry analyst firms and associations as a powerful solution for accurate foot traffic measurement. In 2015, PVR was the recipient of the prestigious Oracle Data Cloud Activate Award in addition to PlaceIQ's selection as one of Gartner's Cool Vendors in Mobile Marketing.
