More Companies Look for Better Precision and Greater Returns for Mobile Marketing Campaigns

Atlanta, GA – November 7, 2017 – The rise of the mobile internet is changing the way consumers interact with advertising and content. Today’s digital marketplace is characterized by a generation that expects to browse and shop online at any time, in any place, on any device. It is this new paradigm that has more mobile marketers investing in mobile carrier targeting through Digital Element, the global geolocation data and services provider.

As one of the 59+ parameters offered through the company’s flagship NetAcuity® solution suite, mobile carrier data allows mobile marketers to perfect audience segmentation and targeting capabilities by further defining and/or analyzing mobile traffic. While the majority of Digital Element’s customers using mobile carrier targeting come from the advertising space, the company has seen an increase in demand from businesses in retail, gaming and digital rights management (DRM) industries.

“Marketing in today’s multiscreen age of portability means helping craft compelling customer journeys through the delivery of meaningful advertising and content,” said Rob Friedman, executive vice president, Digital Element. “NetAcuity provides a simple one-source solution to enable companies to combine mobile carrier data with location as well as other information such as connection type and speed to create carefully crafted advertising and content that reaches consumers at the most relevant point in time across their customer journeys―delivered in the right context optimized for their devices.”

Some mobile carriers sublease their IP space from bigger Internet Service Providers (ISPs) so there may be gaps in data accuracy. Investing in more accurate mobile carrier data that is continually updated and checked for quality assurance is the only way to get clear and precise mobile carrier identification, added Friedman.

Go2mobi, a pioneer in mobile programmatic advertising, is an example of a company that is successfully combining technology and data to improve every aspect of mobile advertising campaigns for its customers.

In August, Go2mobi integrated NetAcuity’s data into its DSP platform in order to elevate its geo-IP and mobile carrier targeting, providing advertisers with the capabilities to reach specific audience segments with more accuracy.

“While geo-IP and mobile carrier targeting have been long-standing targeting features on Go2mobi’s DSP, we continually evaluate our platform’s performance for our advertisers,” said Grant Storry, COO at Go2mobi. “After completing extensive tests and gathering feedback from our customers, we identified NetAcuity data as delivering superior reliability for campaign targeting performance. Go2mobi advertisers gain greater confidence in campaign audience targeting and can expect even more precision as well as greater returns for their mobile ads.”

In particular, Storry cited a gaming client that received an additional 50,000 conversions within a two-month campaign period due to NetAcuity’s data accuracy.

Other key benefits of the Go2mobi’s mobile carrier data upgrade include:

• Carrier Targeting to Filter out Wi-Fi: Enables advertisers to confidently buy traffic from a more comprehensive and specific list of telecommunication carriers in both domestic and international markets, while filtering out Wi-Fi (if desired).
• Carrier Targeting Optimization: Gives advertisers the ability to optimize traffic sources based on campaign performance across carriers. This is also beneficial for those advertisers that have mobile content offers specific to a carrier.
• Carrier Targeting Reporting: Provides in-depth insights and data for reporting on campaign performance across carriers.

IP Intelligence and Geolocation Technology Pioneer Looks to Help Improve Security for Streaming Media

Atlanta, GA – September 7, 2017 – Digital Element, the leading provider of IP Intelligence and geolocation solutions, announced that it has joined the Streaming Video Alliance (the Alliance), an industry forum comprised of leading companies from the online video ecosystem. Digital Element joined the Alliance to help video streaming service providers leverage location-based information to improve the reach, security and control of online content.

“As participants on the Streaming Video Alliance Geo Working Group, we look forward to sharing best practices on how best to apply IP geolocation data to improve and secure streaming video delivery,” said Jason Lee, senior director of client services at Digital Element. “It is important to not only know how location data can improve the effectiveness of video advertising, but also how to leverage it to help organizations manage the distribution of online content—ensuring that licensing and copyright agreements are adhered to and digital assets are protected against online piracy. As pioneers in the IP space, we also bring a wealth of knowledge about IPv6 data adoption.”

Lee will serve as co-chair of the Alliance’s Geo Working Group.

Since 1999, Digital Element has been providing global geolocation solutions to many of the world’s largest websites, brands, ad networks, social media platforms and mobile publishers to target advertising, localize content, enhance analytics, and manage content rights as well as detect and prevent fraud.

In particular, Digital Element’s proxy data is being successfully used by some of the world’s largest broadcasters to thwart users who try to access content they should not be viewing by masking their location, using proxies or Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). Digital Element’s proxy database is the most advanced in the world. It can identify the type of proxy—such as anonymous—or if the traffic is coming from a hosting center. In addition, it can ascertain from where the proxy emanates, such as a Tor exit, Tor relay, the cloud or through a VPN. This data is refreshed daily to ensure it reflects the most up-to-date information in an ever-changing landscape. The breadth and depth of this level of proxy information provides the ability to identify more suspicious connections and minimize false positives, enabling the broadcaster to make more informed decisions about allowing or denying access to content. Also, with an increased focus on the monetization of ad content and ad platforms, many companies are wary of proxy traffic that may throw off targeted ad campaigns.

“The Streaming Video Alliance was established to develop an open architecture, create specifications and requirements, and promote best practices to support the future of streaming video,” said Jason Thibeault, executive director, Streaming Video Alliance. “We welcome Digital Element to the Alliance. They join leading organizations from across the industry to help the Alliance shape the future of online video by collaborating, discussing, and planning how the video ecosystem can operate openly and scale to best meet consumer demand.”

Founded in 2014, the Streaming Video Alliance’s charter is to encourage deeper collaboration across the entire online video ecosystem, which will include the development of standards and best practices for an open architecture that will operate across the entire online video value chain. The Alliance is currently focused on identifying issues and solutions related to open architecture, quality of experience and interoperability.

Global native advertising platform, Taboola, chooses leading IP geolocation technology provider to increase accuracy of its geolocation services worldwide and provide more granular geographic targeting options for its customers

London, UK – 7^th August 2017 – Digital Element, the leading IP Intelligence provider, has today announced that global content discovery platform, Taboola, has chosen its NetAcuity Pulse technology to help identify users’ IP, worldwide.

Taboola is the world’s leading discovery platform, serving 360 billion recommendations to over one billion unique visitors each month. With the web offering a seemingly infinite amount of information, the platform delivers users relevant and interesting material they want to engage with, even if they have not yet thought to search for it. Leading publishers, marketers, and agencies – including NBC, USA Today, and Fox Sports – utilise Taboola’s predictive technology to increase user engagement, monetise traffic, and distribute content to global audiences.

By using Digital Element’s NetAcuity Pulse technology, Taboola will be able to identify each consumer’s location, connection speed, and connection type without the user becoming personally identifiable. Wi-Fi connection type data is particularly valuable when promoting mobile app downloads, as users are more likely to download mobile apps when Wi-Fi is available.

“We’re excited to partner with Digital Element’s NetAcuity, bringing better and more precise ways to recognise users’ IP as we’re constantly looking to improve our mobile services,” said Adam Singolda, CEO and Founder of Taboola.

Digital Element’s NetAcuity Pulse™ uses a network of IP location information derived from mobile devices, billions of on-device-location transactions, and internet routing infrastructure. This more precise – yet privacy-sensitive – global online targeting method is based on where a user is located and connected at a specific point in time, regardless of device. Information can include whether or not the connection is being made through a Wi-Fi network, the user’s point-in-time geographic location, and whether a home or business hotspot is in use. The benefits of using Wi-Fi targeting include increased revenues, better return on investment, stronger brand loyalty, and improved consumer engagement.

“By integrating our IP geolocation data into their platform, Taboola is able to include an accurate IP signal into its algorithms and improve its services,” said Elena Vega, Southern Europe Business Development Director at Digital Element. “We are delighted that, as a global leader in its field, Taboola has chosen to utilise our IP intelligence solutions.”

Taboola joins Digital Element’s portfolio of high-profile clients, which includes: Ströer Group, Microsoft, Adform, Webtrends, Crimtan, Weborama, Rubicon Project, MediaMath, Infectious Media, Cxense, Lotame, Krux and AOL’s ADTECH.

Industry-leading IP geolocation technology deployed to ensure more accurate global compliance with geographic rights regulations

London, UK – 8 March 2017 – Digital Element, the leading provider of IP geolocation technology, today announced that VUBIQUITY, a global leader in premium content services, has deployed its NetAcuity hyperlocal IP geolocation technology to enhance its geographic rights management capability globally—with a particular focus on Africa and Latin America.

VUBIQUITY works with hundreds of film studios, television networks, and independent content owners to provide premium content to more than 1,100 global video distributors, reaching almost 109 million households. With the need for live and on-demand content to be accessible on-the-go, as well as at home, content owners require that providers implement effective IP geolocation filtering technologies within their content distribution platforms, to maintain distribution rights.

Operating a cost-effective business, VUBIQUITY offers a full scope of managed services from licensing to delivery, including digital and over-the-top content distribution to major media and video providers. VUBIQUITY needed to find an IP geolocation provider that would offer accurate and reliable data for African and Latin American regions.

NetAcuity is the defacto standard IP geolocation data in the industry, which enables actionable information about online users such as geographic location, proxies, and virtual private networks (VPNs)—all while respecting the user’s right to privacy.

“We needed to access data in the African and Latin-American regions, and while the studios we work with do offer a list of approved IP geolocation technology providers, many of the companies tend to operate only in very specific parts of the world,” explained Allan Dembry, CIO, Head of Global Engineering, VUBIQUITY. “Digital Element’s NetAcuity is the gold standard in the industry, and we take comfort in knowing that we are using reliable, high quality geographic proxy and VPN datasets, which meet the studios’ licensing requirements.”

Digital Element is the global leader and industry pioneer in IP geolocation technology. Its intelligence solution provides the most detailed, hyperlocal dataset available worldwide today that complies with the highest standards of end-user privacy.

Charlie Johnson, Digital Element’s Vice President, UK and Ireland, commented: “We are very excited to be working with such a rapidly-growing, global company as VUBIQUITY, to help improve the service it provides to studios and distributors. The ability to holistically evaluate user location along with proxy is invaluable, and our technology is empowering VUBIQUITY to uncover actionable insights into the behaviours of online viewers—while protecting their right to privacy—to deliver the best possible viewing experience for customers around the world.”

VUBIQUITY joins some of Digital Element’s other high-profile data management and advertising platform clients including Channel 5, Teads.tv, YouView, Hulu, CNN, Disney Interactive, Sony Pictures, Turn, Videology, ESPN, and many others.

More Companies Realize the Value of IP-Based Mobile Targeting

AD:TECH NEW YORK & ATLANTA – November 2, 2016 – The profusion of mobile devices has changed the way companies reach and engage with customers. Marketing tactics now involve delivering content tailored not only to where people are in the customer journey, but also to where they are physically located, and when and how they access their information. Starting today, Digital Element will share its latest mobile advertising technology solutions with attendees at ad:tech New York, Nov. 2-3, 2016.

Digital Element representatives will be at Booth #700 throughout the conference, showcasing how IP intelligence and geolocation can be effectively used by companies to reach audiences across multiple screens to create more engaging interactions with today’s “always on” mobile users.

“Successful mobile marketing is really about delivering contextual relevance―content applicable to a specific moment in time,” said Rob Friedman, executive vice president, Digital Element. “A person’s location can provide much more insight about who they are based on demographic and other lifestyle contextual assumptions. We want marketers to understand that IP-based data plays an important role in both the mobile and connected digital world.”

Data Accuracy Is Key for Mobile Attribution and Marketing Analytics

AppsFlyer, the global leader in mobile attribution and marketing analytics, is an example of a company that empowers advertisers with unbiased and transparent attribution analytics driven by reliable, accurate and impactful data.

AppsFlyer deployed Digital Element’s NetAcuity Pulse™, the revolutionary IP targeting solution that allows clients to more effectively target both mobile and connected traffic. NetAcuity Pulse leverages a network of IP location information, derived from mobile traffic, billions of on-device-location transactions and internet infrastructure analysis―allowing the technology to generate unprecedented audience insights. Precise yet respectful of user privacy, the NetAcuity Pulse method is based on where an individual is located at a specific moment in time, regardless of device.

With NetAcuity Pulse, AppsFlyer now has the accuracy, reliability and granularity it needs from a global coverage perspective to confidently provide clients around the world with the necessary geographic information to make more informed decisions when it comes to marketing and monetizing their apps.

Specifically, Digital Element’s IP data has proven to be a “very valuable component” within the AppsFlyer analytics dashboard. For example, AppsFlyer’s clients can see where app installs and activities are occurring throughout different regions in the world. The “Right Now” dashboard feature shows app installs/downloads and engagement activity in real-real time. It’s a dynamic graphic that updates every five seconds.
