Tamoco’s Accurate US Segments Available In LiveRamp & Adsquare

Are location-based segments the answer for marketer’s identity crisis?

For marketers, the cookie is an essential way of understanding consumers, their interests, and how best to deliver them relevant and engaging content and ads. Whatever happens with the cookie, many marketers have agreed that moving towards people-based marketing is a direction that the industry is well advised to take.

That’s why at Tamoco, we’re focused on supporting a marketer’s ability to be better at people-based marketing. We believe that device location can help build distinct audience segments based on real-world locations that drive results.

Tamoco has been in the location space for a while now. We started by using beacons and other sensors to deliver push notifications to users. A lot has changed since those days, but we feel that there’s still a lot that needs to be done for marketers.

The power of location-based targeting has been proven, but we think we’ve built something that gives marketers better certainty when using location-based segments.

For us, this all comes down to accuracy. For consumers, there’s nothing worse than a lack of relevance in their advertising. We noticed that much of the location data that was being used to target consumers was simply inaccurate.

That’s why we built our visits product. It takes multiple device signals (such as movement type, acceleration, and altitude) over numerous data points to measure visits to real-world locations more accurately. Marketers can now be sure that the person they are targeting with their ads spent time inside a retail location, rather than just walked past.

But the best part for marketers is that we’re integrating this all directly into LiveRamp and Adsquare.

With Tamoco’s segments, marketers can accurately target consumers based on their behavior in the offline world. Tamoco offers hundreds of unique audiences, based on a detailed analysis of visits to real-world locations and points of interest. These segments run across multiple industries, from retail stores to restaurants, entertainment venues, and travel locations.

 

How to access Tamoco segments from within LiveRamp

Tamoco’s location based segments are available through the LiveRamp platform. Activate these segments today to target people and provide a better advertising experience for consumers.

Tamoco makes 70 pre-build segments available in the data store; these are split by POI category and refreshed monthly.

Tamoco Data Used To Identify Areas Most Vulnerable To COVID-19

A report based on a geospatial analysis conducted by researchers from the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) in collaboration with TAPTAP Digital, using additional data from Predicio and Tamoco, identifies the areas in Spain that require increased measures of protection against new outbreaks of the COVID19 epidemics.

Based on their population density, Madrid and Barcelona are the Spanish cities with an increased risk of infection; however, when considering other variables, such as the rates of the at-risk population and, in particular, coverage of critical points of interest (such as hospitals, pharmacies or supermarkets), the areas requiring additional measures of protection, in particular contexts, can be identified.

The most vulnerable areas, according to the proportional concentration of at-risk groups, are Castellón, Cantabria and Gipuzkoa. Likewise, Toledo, Segovia, Salamanca, and Navarre are the areas which have the least hospital coverage in relation to their vulnerable population, according to the conclusions of the study.

“The analysis of indicators which affect the evolution of the virus or risk in a particular geographic area in isolation could lead to incorrect conclusions or biased assessments. The multi-variable rates provide a more comprehensive analysis,” the report says.

Extracting multi-variable rates facilitates a broader analysis of the evolving behavior of the COVID-19 pandemic based on several factors such as, the area, the population’s mobility or possible propagation of the virus in relation to the phased recovery of commercial and industrial activity, for example.

 

From 25 km to 5 km a day during isolation

At a national level, the population’s mobility decreased from 25 to 5 kilometers per person per day during the isolation period, a decrease of approximately 80%. In addition, the study finds that the restriction of all non-essential activity began to significantly affect mobility about 5 days later.

“These results can help institutions and the community analyze various indicators and better understand the COVID19 pandemic,” says one of the report’s authors, Rubén Cuevas, a professor at the UC3M’s Telematics Engineering Department. This research has been carried out as part of the TAPTAP Digital-UC3M Chair.

“Before the COVID-19 pandemic, we were able to use our geospatial engine, called Sonata Location Intelligence (LI), to gain an understanding of the population’s mobility, demographic significance and interactions with points of interest or essential services, such as hospitals, pharmacies or supermarkets, during the isolation period,” says Álvaro Mayol, partner and chief product and technology officer at TAPTAP Digital.

This tool enables additional analyzes with regard to other issues related to COVID-19. “Because the data provided by TAPTAP, Predicio, and Tamoco is global, we are now working on a scientific article which compares population mobility patterns in different countries,” says Rubén Cuevas.

COVID-19 – Free And Open Data To Assist In The Coronavirus Response

The global outbreak of Coronavirus or COVID-19 has been unprecedented in the effect it has had on individuals, businesses, and governments around the globe.

As the virus has spread, the ways that we are interacting with each other has changed. As governments have implemented guidance for citizens to remain at home, the question has shifted towards what this means for businesses as individuals remain indoors for the foreseeable future.

Another big issue for governments and response planners is how they implement this advice. Are guidelines being followed? What is the impact of these guidelines and is it having an effect on the transmission of the virus.

These are all questions that we think our anonymized data set can help to solve. By understanding how citizens are moving and behaving on an aggregated and macro-level, it’s possible to provide insights to help inform those that need these insights to keep the population as safe as possible.

That’s why we’re making our dataset freely available in many cases where it can have a positive impact on reducing the spread of the virus or where it can provide significant assistance in responding to the spread of COVID-19.

We’d firstly like to illustrate some specific use cases where our data can be of use for a coronavirus response. We encourage those that require free and rapid access to the data to follow the form at the end of this article.

 

Using location data as a tool in the response to COVID-19

Understanding busy locations as areas to avoid

Device movement data can help provide insights into areas that are currently experiencing high amounts of social activity. Identifying large gatherings of people can help to give up to date advice to citizens of areas to avoid.

It can also assist responders in dispersing people from areas where large amounts of people are gathering and risk rapidly spreading the virus. A good example of which is the increased number of visits to London’s parks during weekends. 

 

Understanding how the virus is spreading in new areas

Overlaying positive test cases with historical locations can help to understand hotspots and how the virus initially spreads throughout new and existing regions. 

For example, in areas where the virus is in the infancy of spreading. Understanding all the people who may have been exposed and requesting that they self isolate can have a considerable impact on delaying the spread.

Data can also be at the forefront of a proactive response to the spread of COVID-19. For example, by identifying hotspots and areas where the virus is known to have spread, data can help to identify other devices that have exhibited similar behavior.

 

Understanding the impact on businesses and coordinating financial aid to those who need it

Over the coming weeks and months, it’s unavoidable that businesses of all kinds will be hit by the impact of people remaining at home and the forced closure of physical stores and retail locations.

For these businesses, it’s crucial to quantify the effect that these factors are having on businesses. For governments, understanding the impact that the fall in footfall is having can help to direct financial aid to the right place in any potential recovery effort.

 

Next steps

It’s important to note that any effort to use this data will exist along with the robust privacy processes that all of our customers are expected to adhere by. Tamoco has built-in protections to ensure that any data can’t be reverse engineered to track individuals. All data requires opt-in, is anonymized and aggregated to ensure these protections are respected.

As we mentioned at the top of this post, for cases where our data can be used to assist in response to the spread of COVID-19, we are allowing free access to our aggregated and anonymized dataset.

To get set up, we ask that you complete the following form so that we can coordinate.

Apple Special Event – Support For NFC Without Third Party Apps Is Huge

 

Hidden away in the countless announcements during the latest Apple special event was some news in relation to NFC.

Apple has already declared support for third-party application to read NFC technology. But these latest announcements offers support that is more closely aligned with iOS.

Users were previously required to launch a third party app to read NFC tags. The latest Apple NFC update means that new models will be able to read tags in the background. This allows users to simply walk up to an NFC tag, wake the screen and the device will read the tag.

This will materialise in the form of a notification on the home screen, or in the feed if the phone is unlocked. Tapping this notification will automatically take the user to the correct app for the NFC function. This provides a simpler way for those who struggled to understand how to use NFC to get the most from the technology.

 

What does Apple’s latest NFC update mean?

At Tamoco we’ve always taken a sensor agnostic approach when deciding which proximity sensors to support on our network. Tamoco’s long-term support for multiple proximity sensors is further validated by the announcement.

The ways that consumers interact with the physical world is always changing. By supporting multiple sensor types Tamoco provides support for clients to bridge the gap between the digital and physical worlds.

The latest update in the NFC provides fantastic benefits when working with Tamoco, including:

 

More interactivity with NFC

The most obvious benefit for those interested in consumer engagement via NFC is the potential to interact seamlessly with NFC in the real world.

In the past iOS users have been required to download a third party app to use NFC. This provides a huge barrier to interaction.

With this update, Apple has removed this obstacle and this provides brands with the opportunity to reach more people, more often with NFC campaigns.

Whilst this will only be available for Apple’s newest range of devices, this still presents a great opportunity to create a more interactive experience for consumers.

 

Direct access into the notification feed

Support allows the NFC tag to be read and display a notification to the user. These notification dialogues use part of the native iOS notification system. This is a great way to reach users in a trusting and powerful way.

A user gets the opportunity to tap the notification and the device will head to the right app, depending on the content type.

This means that brands can offer consumers multiple types of media and be sure that the experience is seamless on an iOS device.

This provides a powerful, direct and interactive channel in which to reach consumers with relevant content.

 

Better opportunity for users to connect with the physical word

The announcement shows how far the link between physical and digital has come. Apple has realised that consumers want their digital devices to connect to the real world around them.

They want this connection to be simple and quick. NFC has always provided this opportunity, but the developments mean that this connection is now available at scale.

NFC carries huge potential as it has already been adopted in the payment and travel spaces. It seems like this new announcement will have a large impact and will be pivotal in the way that users can use their devices to connect with what is around them.

 

About Tamoco and NFC

Tamoco is the leading sensor driven location company. We help businesses to reach consumers based on context and provide extensive support across a wide range of technology. Our aim is to provide the content to consumers in the right moment and providing the vital link between the digital and physical worlds.

To find out more about what you can do with NFC and Tamoco’s powerful network, please get in touch with one of our campaign managers.

The Digital Marketing Trends To Look Out For At DMEXCO 2019

Europe’s largest digital marketing conference begins this week. Around 40,000 brand innovators, ad tech masters, digital marketers and everything in-between will convene in Cologne for DMEXCO 2019.

To get ready we will be looking at the key digital marketing trends that will define the conference. 

 

GDPR is still on the agenda

Whilst the 25th of May seems a long way back, It’s still difficult to avoid this topic at the moment. There’s still a large amount of the digital marketing space that is uncertain about GDPR and what it means for their business.

The industry is beginning to accept the responsibility that comes with the digitalization of the marketing space. Many companies are talking more about transparency and privacy. They have shifted to make these ideals fundamental to their company operations. 

Getting the balance right between privacy and relevant, personal marketing is the challenge. The digital marketing industry needs to win the argument on privacy. To do this it needs to explain the true value that using personal data can provide for the consumer. It must do this whilst developing a trusted relationship with customers regarding data. 

At DMEXCO 2019 expect GDPR to still be front and centre. It will still be the elephant in the room for many talks and sessions. We hope that more discussions on the topic will focus on what the industry has learned.  As well as this we want to see best practices for companies to make the most out of the legislation. 

Personalisation is still what consumers want

More and more consumers are aware that brands are using their data. After the introduction of GDPR and an increased number of data breaches they expect this data to be used to provide high value, improved and highly personal experiences. 

Consumers want a personalised experience. Brands are moving towards this but there’s still a way to go. Many consumers are still finding a majority of their brand experiences are falling short of the mark. 

At DMEXCO 2019 expect to see personalisation take centre stage. We hope to hear valuable lessons on how leaders are getting it right.

There will still be conversation around the nature of generating data for this purpose. But expect more focus to be on how to use the data more effectively. Look out for discussion on how new data types can be used to create memorable, personalised consumer experiences. 

 

AI and automation is now everywhere

Consumers are demanding instant responses from the brands that they interact with. The best brands are starting to engage with their customers automatically. These brands have drastically reduced the time between a customer touch point and the desired result. 

The companies that are succeeding in this space are the ones that are experimenting with AI. They are using technology to automate their response to consumers at every point of the consumer journey. 

Treating customers on a one to one basis and providing an omnichannel experience is top of many brands wish list. Some are even getting this right already with the increasing presence of AI, chatbots and other automation tools. 

Technology in this area is advancing extremely quickly. The top brands are learning how to utilize this tech to identify customer needs. It’s being used to process huge amounts of data and turn this into actionable insights. 

Expect there to be many discussions around AI, automation and it’s ability to put the customer at the centre of the brand experience. 

 

Data is increasingly important to achieve digital marketing goals

Many companies are using data effectively in their digital marketing. The relationship between consumer data and consumer needs is more in focus than it has been in previous years. 

The potential of data in digital marketing is huge. Brands realise this but often struggle to maximize this potential. 

To do more with data companies will need to be smarter about how they source their data and be much better at turning the data into actionable insights.

Expect many workshops and talks that look to explain how to use data effectively. Learn about new data sets and how your organization can use these to meet its goals.

DMEXCO 2019

These are the main digital marketing trends that will be aired at the conference. Digital marketing in 2019 seems to be focusing on how to get the right balance between privacy and providing true value for the consumer. 

For all your data and personalisation needs, speak to Tamoco. We’ll be DMEXCO and would love to hear your take on the biggest challenges facing digital marketers.
