Sydney-based mobile engagement company Big Mobile has forged a partnership with New York-based global location-based marketing technology company xAd Inc to bring xAd’s cutting-edge, location technology to Australia and New Zealand.

The partnership was unveiled (via press release) in Auckland this morning.

“Powered by xAd’s patented technology, the partnership offers solutions that enable brands to connect with people based on their mobile locations,” said Big Mobile ANZ ceo David Green in the release.

“Through this partnership, marketers will have access to meaningful location data, allowing them to learn more about their businesses, actively engage their consumers through precise location and audience targeting, and measure footfall.

“For location, it’s a game changer. We hear so much hype in the market about location, but xAd’s proven technology is the most accurate and highly measurable solution out there with products that are third-party validated by industry-leading measurement firms.”


“We are excited to partner with such a strong team to bring our technology and location expertise to the Australia and New Zealand markets”

xAd receives location data from millions of ad requests globally through 100,000+ mobile applications and data providers, and then ranks these data signals for precise, location-verified mobile inventory. Its Blueprints technology then defines the geo-boundaries of businesses and points of interests, a process which takes hours instead of weeks, and allows for precise and accurate location targeting.

xAd COO Sunil Kumar said: “We are excited to partner with such a strong team to bring our technology and location expertise to the Australia and New Zealand markets.”
