ATLANTA – May 18, 2016 – Digital Element, the leading provider of IP Intelligence and geolocation solutions, today announced that Addesk, a Brazilian technology company founded by experts in programmatic advertising, is now offering the NetAcuity^® platform of solutions for its advertising and ecommerce clients.

Addesk serves as representative and reseller of digital technologies for ecommerce online advertising in Brazil. The company offers the best technologies from Europe and the United States to help Brazilian advertisers and agencies increase their revenue and improve their ROI. Addesk works with some of the top players in Brazil, including Addialeto, Vitrio, 4results, Groupon, Batanga, folha24horas, Rede Bahia, Netshoes, Dafiti, Tricae, and Petlove, among others. With the integration of Digital Element’s solutions, Addesk will now help its clients to deliver hyperlocal geotargeted advertising and content to improve reach, relevance and response for a variety of digital campaigns and other business initiatives.

According to eMarketer, a leading global marketing research firm, digital ad spending in Latin America is set to reach new heights with mobile grabbing a larger percentage of those overall dollars.

“We’re certainly seeing significant growth in overall ad spending in the region, much of that can be attributed to our rising middle class and a focus on upcoming global events such as the Rio Olympics this summer,” said Laurent Djoulizibaritch, CEO, Addesk. “We’ve been able to provide strong support with native Brazilian specialists, from implementation to reporting, and to now be able to complement our services with global, industry-leading geolocation technology will only give our clients even more of an advantage in what will surely become a very crowded and competitive Latin American marketplace.”

With NetAcuity, advertisers and retailers can identify actionable information about online users such as geographic location, connection speed, domain name and more—information that is proven to help improve the relevance, reach and response of online activities—all while respecting the user’s right to privacy.

In particular, NetAcuity Pulse™ takes IP-based targeting to a new level by utilizing insights gleaned from mobile devices, allowing Digital Element to offer more seen IP locations than any other provider. Pulse expands the coverage reach of the global postcode-level targeting offered through NetAcuity Edge™ by leveraging new insights derived from Wi-Fi connected mobile traffic and infrastructure. This more precise targeting is based on where a user is located and connected at a specific point in time, regardless of device.

“Research is showing us that up to half of the Latin American digital ad spend is originating in Brazil so there is a lot of opportunity for Addesk to truly increase its clients’ revenues while improving their advertising ROI,” said Jorgelina Striedinger, Latin America business development director for Digital Element. “The NetAcuity platform offers a number of different ways to accurately reach Latin American consumers, regardless of their locations or the devices they use to connect. Reliable geolocation data for online advertising targeting and measurement has been severely lacking in this this region, but Digital Element’s technology will be able to change that.”

Benefits of using the NetAcuity platform for Brazilian companies include:

• Improve Reach and Relevance – Command a 30-40 percent premium over non-targeted ads by delivering content to specific audiences, reducing wasted impressions and increasing click-through rates and message reach.
• Enhance the Shopping Experience – Customize website content, language, currency, products and promotions to create an instant connection that will have consumers spending less time searching for products and services and more time buying

New Offering Layers on to Mobile-Device-Derived Data to Provide Marketers with More Granularity

Atlanta, GA – April 20, 2016 – Continuing to address mobile marketers’ growing needs for more accurate and deeper data, Digital Element, the leading provider of IP Intelligence and geolocation solutions, today announced the newest edition to its NetAcuity platform of products with the introduction of Pulse Plus, the first IP-based ZIP+4 location targeting technology.

Pulse Plus is a first-of-its-kind ZIP+4 targeting solution that combines the device-derived data of NetAcuity Pulse with Digital Element’s proprietary technology that produces reverse-geocoding data feeds. Available for flat-file implementation, Pulse Plus combines this new intelligence with geographic shape and boundary files to produce the next generation of ZIP code targeting within the United States. Additionally, the Pulse Plus ZIP+4 data can be combined with demographics to produce even more granular and precise targeting for marketers.

“When we launched NetAcuity Pulse in 2014, it was the industry’s first mobile-centric IP targeting solution, and we have continued to research and develop the product in order to provide new depths of precision,” said Rob Friedman, executive vice president, Digital Element. “Pulse Plus represents the next evolution of the product, delivering the first comprehensive IP-to-ZIP+4 targeting offering that provides marketers with even more granularity. So many of our customers already use demographic data, but now they can combine that with Pulse Plus for more precise targeting. This will allow marketers to more accurately segment―and target―audiences with relevant messages wherever they live, work, travel and shop.”

ZIP+4 data is especially beneficial to marketers that want to target very specific audiences concentrated in more pinpointed locations within the United States. The following are examples of how companies across a number of industries can use this type of precision targeting:

• Restaurants may drive in more local diners by advertising specials to neighborhoods/businesses with ZIP codes within a 5-mile drive of the establishment.
• Universities might advertise to ZIP codes that contain large high schools, encouraging students to visit the campus to learn more about higher-education opportunities in their local areas.
• Retailers may drive in-store traffic by targeting ZIP codes with certain household incomes or business locales near other establishments (i.e. hotels, restaurants, etc.).
• Political campaigns can deliver specific advertising and messages to key constituents in local districts, for example where voter turn-out is low or where candidates want to gain grassroots momentum.

In terms of ZIP+4 data granularity, these digits identify more pinpointed areas—such as a group of apartments or office buildings—or a high-volume mail receiver within a five-digit delivery zone to help with mail sorting and delivery. The sixth and seventh digits of ZIP+4 indicate a “delivery sector,” such as a group of streets, P.O. boxes, a group of buildings, or even a single high-rise building. The eighth and ninth digits designate a “delivery segment,” such as a specific side of a street, a floor in an office or apartment building, or a specific department within a large office.

Department Store Chain Looks to Enhance Customer Service and Achieve Faster Deliveries

ATLANTA – March 8, 2016 – With the number of online retail sales in Mexico projected to significantly increase in the coming years, Coppel S.A. de C.V., a large Mexican retail chain with thousands of stores throughout the country, has selected Digital Element, the leading provider of IP Intelligence and geolocation solutions, to provide IP geolocation technology to support its newest e-commerce project.

Coppel currently offers a wide variety of products including electrical equipment, electronics, furniture, and apparel. The chain, that currently operates 1,280 stores in Mexico, Brasil and Argentina, is undertaking a new e-commerce project to bring better service and ease of purchase to those customers shopping online. With distribution points in the double digits throughout the country, it is important for Coppel to be able to show customers products that are both relevant to their regions and available for delivery.

There are currently 14.3 million digital buyers in Mexico (12 percent of the population) with the number of buyers projected to increase substantially to 23.6 million by 2019 and account for $13.3 billion in sales.

By incorporating Digital Element’s NetAcuity Edge™, a global hyperlocal IP geolocation solution, Coppel will be able to serve its customers relevant content based on the their geographic locations. According to Alan Sobrino, e-commerce merchandising manager at Coppel SA de CV, the addition of more accurate and reliable geo-data coverage for Mexico is expected to decrease distributions costs and increase customer satisfaction for the company.

“When the data is fully integrated into our e-commerce systems, users’ cities will be identified automatically so that Coppel can better respond to the customers’ local demands,” said Sobrino. “This will allow us to achieve faster delivery by serving an online catalog that represents products that are currently in-stock locally, provide the best shipping costs possible, and give the customer a very positive web experience. Digital Element was the only company to be able to provide this type of data granularity in Mexico, according to our findings.”
Coppel enlisted the assistance of a third-party IT consulting firm to verify the data. Tests were conducted using data from the company’s log and e-commerce systems. The results accurately matched all cities to distribution systems, ensuring that the logic was in line with the company’s e-commerce goals.

“Mexico definitely represents an emerging digital retail market,” said Jorgelina Striedinger, Latin America business development director for Digital Element. “The market will only continue to grow as mobile device ownership increases and more consumers grow comfortable with making purchases online. Forward-thinking companies such as Coppel are preparing for this now with technologies that impact their online and mobile initiatives on a number of fronts.”

Coppel has also integrated GeoMprint, Digital Element’s new reverse geocoding solution targeted at mobile device traffic, which will allow the retailer to better serve mobile users in real time.

Coppel joins Digital Element’s other high-profile customers in Mexico, among them, BBVA and Televisa.

Origin5 has been a driving force in the advancement of ecommerce in Brazil for more than a decade. With the integration of Digital Element’s solutions, Origin5 will be able to help its clients more effectively target both mobile and connected shoppers.

“With such vast geographic differences in Brazil, it is important to give our clients the ability to deliver customized content, offers, and promotions to shoppers based on their locations,” said Roberto Wajnsztok Olivieria, CEO and co-founder, Origin5. “As mobile shopping continues to grow across the region, it was imperative for us to find a geolocation technology platform that provided solutions to accurately target these on-the-go consumers as well.”

According to eMarketer, Brazil is among the largest e-commerce markets in the world. Ranked at No. 10 worldwide, the country also boasts a high mobile penetration, making it the ideal market for mobile geolocation solutions.

With NetAcuity, retail and enterprise organizations can identify actionable information about online users such as geographic location, connection speed, domain name and more—information that is proven to help improve the relevance, reach and response of online activities—all while respecting the user’s right to privacy.

In particular, NetAcuity Pulse™ takes IP-based targeting to a new level by utilizing insights gleaned from mobile devices, allowing Digital Element to offer more seen IP locations than any other provider. Pulse expands the coverage reach of the global postcode-level targeting offered through NetAcuity Edge™ by leveraging new insights derived from Wi-Fi connected mobile traffic and infrastructure. This more precise targeting is based on where a user is located and connected at a specific point in time, regardless of device.

“While m-commerce is certainly gaining momentum in Brazil, it is still a small segment of the total online shopping market,” said Jorgelina Striedinger, Latin America business development director for Digital Element. “Retailers need consistency when targeting consumers across devices―from one solution provider that allows them to deliver multi-pronged location strategies that enable them to reach more connected consumers in relevant ways.”

Benefits of using the NetAcuity platform for Brazilian retailers include:

• Enhance the Shopping Experience – Customize website content, language, currency, products and promotions to create an instant connection that will have consumers spending less time searching for products and services and more time buying
• Simplify the Customer Experience – Leverage location-based data to deliver the right content at the right time, such as automatically delivering foreign visitors to country-specific sites
• Increase Online Revenues – Provide targeted merchandise and messages to increase response rates by as much as 300 percent
• Drive Offline Revenue – Use targeted promotions and coupons to drive online traffic to make offline purchases at the nearest store or service location
• Identify Mobile Users – Target WiFi-enabled connections with location-specific information to move visitors along in the sales cycle with relevant content and promotions

Latin American Media Giant Leverages NetAcuity Pulse for a More Comprehensive Digital Right Management Solution

ATLANTA – December 10, 2015 – Digital Element, the leading provider of IP geolocation solutions, today announced that Globo, one of the largest media companies in the world, has selected its technology to help provide localized video content and protect copyrights throughout Brazil.

Managing and protecting video content while delivering an exceptional consumer viewing experience creates ongoing challenges for media and entertainment companies around the world. Globo needed the ability to localize video content at a very granular level to serve one of its newest video products Globo Play, so it decided to utilize Digital Element’s NetAcuity Pulse™, the industry’s first mobile-centric IP targeting solution. Globo Play is a digital video platform that allows viewers to easily access programming―journalism, sports and entertainment―on computers, smartphones and tablets.

“Consumers expect content that is relevant locally, and content producers expect their rights to be protected,” said Igor Macaubas, globo.com’s OVP product manager. “As a company, we can’t accomplish either unless we have extremely accurate geolocation data. The combination of Digital Element’s data granularity and reliability with its customer support allows Globo to segment its video content across Brazil with confidence.”

Pulse expands the coverage reach of the global postcode-level targeting offered through NetAcuity EdgeTM by leveraging new insights derived from Wi-Fi connected mobile traffic and infrastructure. This more precise targeting is based on where a user is located and connected at a specific point in time, regardless of device. Information can include whether the user is in fact coming through a Wi-Fi connection point, the user’s point-in-time geographic location, and whether someone is on a home or a business hotspot (which may call for traffic to be handled differently).

During the evaluation process, globo.com extracted a database with 13 million IP addresses from its video access log and found some big discrepancies in reports from other providers. According to Macaubas, there were solutions that could not even return geolocation data for 2 million IP addresses. NetAcuity Pulse not only returned geolocation data for all the IP addresses, but was also the most accurate of the solutions that were evaluated.

“globo.com conducted a very extensive evaluation of all data, comparing a number of different sources, and found NetAcuity Pulse to be the most accurate at the city level in all of Brazil,” said Jorgelina Striedinger, Latin America business development director for Digital Element. “Globo is definitely implementing the most effective digital rights management tool in the market to ensure its delivering the best video products to its viewers while adhering to its partners’ distribution agreements.”

Globo joins Digital Element’s other high-profile Latin American customers, among them Televisa, Muchoviaje, Despegar.com, Sony Music, CNN, Microsoft, Omniture and DoubleClick.
