Industry First Will Give Metamarkets’ Clients a Live View Into Inventory Availability and Campaign Performance for an Array Of Mobile Audiences
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Metamarkets, the leader in analytics for programmatic marketing, announced its first data partnership with Factual, the leading platform for location-based audience data. The companies are integrating Factual’s rich, global datasets into the Metamarkets platform in order to give mobile buyers and exchanges instant visibility into available inventory and campaign performance, integrated with Factual’s audiences and geographies.
“For those of us on the forefront of mobile marketing, identifying and reaching audiences based on location is the promised land,” said Alex Rahaman, CEO of StrikeAd, a leading cross-device, programmatic buyer. “The Metamarkets-Factual partnership is building the analytics foundation to drive our mobile campaigns to even higher levels of success for our clients.”
Metamarkets will be utilizing Factual’s Geopulse Platform to deliver location-based audiences to media buyers and sellers. Exchanges such as MoPub at Twitter will be able to provide this audience-level insight into campaign performance allowing buyers to see the interaction an ad has with various geographic, behavioral, and retail segments.
“This partnership between Factual and Metamarkets provides marketers and buyers a focused lens into campaign reach as well as the compositional makeup of users that can be found across multiple major supply sources,” stated Bill Michels, SVP of Product and Partnerships for Factual. “By adding Factual’s audience insights, which are based on interactions with the physical world, to Metamarkets’ exceptional platform, we can provide a very novel and powerful mobile ad solution.”

By pairing Factual’s rich location and audience data with real-time market intelligence, we hope to give our clients unprecedented visibility into mobile audiences and to help them find the most productive ways to reach them.”
