We will be co-presenting two sessions on December 2, 2019. The first session is a case study featuring Digital Out of Home Programming (i.e. digital billboards), how a client was able to find and reach specific audiences, e.g. dog owners who spend $200+ a month on pet food and use plug-in air fresheners. They used the targeting module to find the best places and times to advertise. […]
