Programmatic Advertising, Advertiser Platforms
Business Wire | June 28, 2023
StackAdapt (www.stackadapt.com), the leading self-serve programmatic advertising platform, today announced the launch of its in-platform footfall attribution solution. This new measurement capability allows US-based brick and mortar advertisers to quantify the influence of online advertising on offline visits. To ensure superior location data, unmatched coverage, and expertise, StackAdapt has expanded its strategic partnership with Precisely PlaceIQ.
Although there is a rise in online shopping, 85.5% of all US retail sales still occur offline. Marketers today face the challenge of connecting their programmatic campaigns with offline ROI. To bridge the gap, advertisers can now leverage StackAdapt Footfall Attribution to understand the impact their advertising has in driving people to visit their retail locations. This solution allows customers to analyze the impact of their ad campaign on visitation results for multi-channel campaigns including native, display, video, connected TV (CTV), audio, and in-game channels; offering a comprehensive view of offline ROI, including visits, visitation lift, average eCPV and more.
StackAdapt provides a one-stop shop solution for measuring multi-channel offline ROI by offering insights into what channels or messages are driving in-store visits. StackAdapt leverages premiere data sets from Precisely PlaceIQ, a top tier location data provider, to ensure measurement powered by verified third-party mobile SDK data. Movement data is always deterministic, and never modeled, delivering accurate visitation outcomes that represent your campaign's performance.
"The StackAdapt Footfall Attribution report has been an instrumental tool for our team," said Kyle Muzny, owner of Muze Growth Strategies. "From discovering key insights to demonstrating the value of our digital campaigns, this new product has given us an all-in-one view of our online and offline performance better than ever before. If you rely on more than just e-commerce, and people physically visiting your business is necessary for your businesses' success, footfall attribution will be one of your more enlightening KPIs."
StackAdapt Footfall Attribution introduces key features designed to enhance user experience and provide comprehensive insights, all available on a self-serve basis. These features include the ability for users to create a “'location set” comprising multiple locations for measurement, the functionality to attach these location sets directly to campaigns and access to near real-time reporting in the platform. These features collectively offer a robust toolset for advertisers to measure and optimize their campaign performance mid-flight.
“Brick and mortar retail is a huge piece of the market, and real-world consumer action, such as foot traffic, is a key measure of success for advertisers,” explains Jasmaan Panesar, Solutions Manager at StackAdapt. “At StackAdapt, we are excited to be able to offer a self-serve solution that empowers anyone leveraging the platform to measure return on ad spend (ROAS) in terms of the lift in foot traffic from their campaigns.”

InMobi, a leading provider of content, monetization and marketing technologies that help businesses fuel growth, today announced its strategic partnership with Ad Net Zero, the climate action program with the mission to accelerate the decarbonization of the advertising industry. This collaboration underscores InMobi's resolute commitment to sustainability, aligning with Ad Net Zero's mission to revolutionize the advertising landscape through decarbonization initiatives spanning ad production, distribution, and publication.
The global advertising industry is at a critical juncture, as it grapples with the environmental impact of its operations. Recent statistics underscore the urgency of the issue, with the internet’s greenhouse gas emissions comprising approximately 4% of the global total – surpassing even the aviation sector. Notably, the energy required to serve one million ad impressions is equivalent to the carbon produced by manufacturing 2.4 million plastic straws.
Recognizing the growing importance of sustainability in business decisions, InMobi has taken a proactive step by aligning itself with Ad Net Zero. As a leader in the ad tech industry, InMobi recognizes the significance of demonstrating sustainability efforts to both its existing clients and potential partners. A recent Deloitte survey highlights that 98% of consumers believe brands are responsible for contributing to a better world, and a considerable portion of consumers prefer to be patrons of sustainable brands.
By joining forces with Ad Net Zero, InMobi embarks on a journey to align with the organization's five-step plan, designed to minimize the carbon footprint of advertising:
Reduce emissions from advertising business operations
Decrease emissions stemming from advertising production
Diminish emissions from media planning and buying
Lessen advertising emissions from awards and events
Harness advertising's potential to drive behavioral change
InMobi's dedication to sustainability extends beyond rhetoric to measurable action. InMobi Exchange, powered by Microsoft Azure which boasts of complete carbon neutrality, stands as a testament to its commitment. Furthermore, data gleaned from the Microsoft Azure Impact Emissions Dashboard showcases InMobi's impressive emission reduction metrics:
InMobi's emission factor ranks within the top fifth percentile compared to average server emission factors
Server usage demonstrates a remarkable 80-90% higher green efficiency compared to alternative on-premise solutions, even high-efficiency ones
Direct SDK integrations, paired with machine learning, have driven emission reductions of up to 30%
"InMobi's partnership with Ad Net Zero symbolizes our dedication to ushering in a more sustainable era for the advertising industry," states Kunal Nagpal, Chief Business Officer at InMobi. "We are proud to stand alongside fellow tech companies and agencies, united in the pursuit of a greener, more responsible future. By fully embracing Ad Net Zero's comprehensive plan, we are steadfast in our commitment to minimizing our environmental impact while advancing the power of advertising."
"Ad Net Zero is thrilled to work with InMobi as they support more sustainable advertising solutions, contributing to our collective global impact. InMobi’s commitment is another significant step toward an eco-friendly future for the industry,” says John Osborn, Director of Ad Net Zero in the U.S.
InMobi’s partnership with Ad Net Zero follows its global sustainability commitment to Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), where InMobi is undergoing a 24-month goal validation process, at the end of which InMobi will commit to ambitious Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions reduction targets in line with SBTi sector guidelines and the GHG Protocol standards.
InMobi also continues its partnership for the second year with Givsly, the leading purpose driven B2B marketing solution, and shared the stage with Givsly, Dentsu, and IPG Brands at Cannes Lions 2023 to discuss the challenges, opportunities, and the path that can be taken for a sustainable ad tech stack.
Recently, InMobi served as the primary audience partner in AdTechCares’ campaign with Project Drawdown, a nonprofit organization working to reduce greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere. AdTechCares is a 501 (c)(3) organization that leverages ad tech to combat misinformation and keep humanity well, and InMobi is a founding member.
