Vicinity's technology geo-locates the user and then dynamically creates a distance banner that is published in a window on the right of the banner artwork. To allow for this Vicinity has created customised banner specs (based on IAB standards) that allow for the distance to be displayed.
The distance window is the result of 12 months of development and planning and is the key feature of Vicinity Media's new production platform that also features a redesigned, more user-friendly landing page.
Vicinity Media CEO Daryl van Arkel comments, "The distance window is a game-changer for location-based mobile advertising. We plan to use this technology to increase relevance and performance across our own premium network and as well as deploying it across the continent and other developing territories with various partners."
