And no, we don’t mean just serving up some mobile ads—though that's what we do. We’re talking about taking all the good stuff (the consumer behavior stuff, the location services stuff, the data crunching stuff) and mixing it all together so you have the power to give consumers ads they actually want. Even before they know they want it.
We’ve combined location technology, a deep knowledge of consumer behavior, and first-party data from our parent company, Telenav, to give you the ability of a mind reader—or some crazy shaman—so you find your audience and finally deliver those mind-blowing ideas.
