Mediata, an audience management specialist, has claimed to be the first Australian company who employs geo-targeting campaigns beyond mobile after cooperating with location specialists Skyhook to drive “hyperlocal” targeting.

Skyhook’s Hyperlocal IP technology was employed by Mediata to put positioning capabilities for local targeting campaigns. The service said to have 100 metres reaching from the mobile device.

John Stones, the head of the product innovation at Mediata, said that the development of the system would allow advertisers to create campaigns targeted on certain locations beyond mobile phones. The company has been working on the development of the audience targeting system that offers “granular targeting” across all devices and platforms for the past year. Stones said that the company will roll the system out across Australia and New Zealand. The system uses Wi-Fi to pinpoint devices using their IP addresses.

“We are targeting with enough accuracy that the pilot has demonstrated a 20% uplift in performance metrics,” Stones said. “Teaming up with the world’s leading location positioning company has already demonstrated very significant improvement in not only campaign performance, but also our audience intelligence. By being able to link granular geo with granular data its more distinctive and therefore we can more accurately link it to campaigns.”
