Uber Revolutionizes the Way It Reaches Its Consumer Base

— August 23, 2018 — Autos
In 2017 Uber was targeting the market in Russia and brainstorming ways to reach a consumer base with innovative outdoor marketing strategies. Since the company is known as one of the most popular peer-to-peer ridesharing applications out there, traditional billboards were not sufficient enough to communicate Uber's philosophy.

Instead, the innovative company harnesses the power of the digital world to create a smart outdoor marketing technique that draws on big data from mobile operators, uses an algorithm to target frequent taxi users and implements a patented programmatic system that "can decide what to display in real-time mode."

As a result, when the target audience appears near the billboard, the smart outdoor marketing tool begins broadcasting the ride-sharing service's ads.
