This proprietary technology gives marketers the power to engage consumers at the right location, at the right time, when they are in the right mindset. With an understanding of real-world consumer behaviour, it is possible to drive measurable real-world foot traffic to a specific location and influence the consumer decision making purchase process. 

 

“Cue Digital has an impressive portfolio of best-in-market digital advertising platforms and our partnership comes at the right time, when location data continues to prove its value across the marketing and advertising landscape,” said Gil Larsen, VP, Americas, Blis. “This partnership--a first of its kind for us in Canada-- will help us both better serve customers in the country.”
