“The personalized nature of mobile devices arms marketers with insights on consumer behavior as it’s happening. By leveraging accurate location data, advertisers can reach consumers where and when they are most receptive, delivering a more relevant and impactful experience,” said Dan Hight, Head of Platform, xAd. “Today, we’re excited to make that opportunity available to a new roster of premium advertisers via Rubicon Project’s private marketplace platform.”
