IP Targeting
IP Targeting does not use cookies, which is revolutionary in the digital advertising world. Our IP algorithm determines the IP address based on the physical address, which is then used for precise digital ad targeting at the IP/router level. This type of targeting is beneficial for advertisers because it incorporates offline data; i.e., registered voter lists, customer databases, modeled data, and direct mail data. With IP Targeting, all of these datasets can be easily and effectively used to deliver ads directly to consumers.
