Foursquare Partners with Drawbridge for Cross-Device Platform for Pinpoint Advertising Solution

Drawbridge announced today that Pinpoint by Foursquare is using the Drawbridge Cross-Device Platform. Pinpoint is a programmatic advertising solution that allows marketers to accurately target consumers across devices based on their real-world behavior. The partnership combines Foursquare’s proprietary mobile-centric audience segments with Drawbridge’s industry-leading cross-device bidding, optimization, and measurement capabilities.
 
“Our goal is to not only help brands connect with people, but to provide marketers with a comprehensive understanding of their customers across devices and in the real world,” said Rahul Bafna, Drawbridge VP of Product Management and Partnerships. “Foursquare is an ideal partner because the company has a very large, very unique data set that can be leveraged in conjunction with our own cross-device capabilities. Agencies and marketers using Pinpoint get the best of both worlds – Foursquare data on the Drawbridge Cross-Device Platform, which includes our award-winning targeting, bidding, optimization, and attribution capabilities.”
 
The Drawbridge Cross-Device Platform ingests Pinpoint’s proprietary audience segments to execute mobile and cross-device marketing campaigns. The audience segments are matched with associated devices with the Drawbridge Connected Consumer Graph™, so marketers can reach their target audiences across devices. Foursquare’s technology can also identify where people actually go and what they intend to purchase. The partnership enables marketers to bridge the digital and physical world, closing the gap between offline brand interactions and the marketing efforts that influenced them.
