Granular Household-Level Targeting with Addressable Geo-Fencing

As the most granular location-based targeting solution on the market, Simpli.fi’s Addressable Geo-Fencing provides marketers with a revolutionary new way to target physical addresses with digital advertising and forever change the way they approach holiday ad campaigns.
We built it with unparalleled precision and scale to be an effective targeting solution for any sized advertiser who is looking to run localized campaigns at the address-level and effectively reach every screen within each desired household. The end result: relevant ad campaigns that reach each household based on their individual wants and needs.

Rather than rely on the limited effectiveness of IP-based targeting, our Addressable Geo-Fencing uses actual GPS and plat line data (derived from property tax and public land survey information) to precisely target the desired households. Marketers can target up to one million street addresses per campaign with the ability to run an unlimited amount of campaigns within the Simpli.fi platform.

Leverage OTT/CTV Advertising in Your Holiday Campaigns

This holiday season, don’t miss out on the fastest-growing channel for reaching relevant consumers. Simpli.fi’s Addressable OTT/CTV solution lets marketers own OTT/CTV advertising by delivering advanced TV advertising at the household-level nationwide.

Addressable audience targeting is the most precise, granular, and scalable way to serve video creative to individual households via OTT/CTV devices. This solution also has the added capability of targeting either the big screen in the living room and/or small screens such as mobile devices and tablets.

Addressable OTT/CTV advertising with Simpli.fi is the most effective and impactful way to target tens of millions of CTV households. And just as with Addressable Geo-Fencing, we use GPS and plat line data to target physical addresses so that only the right households and devices get targeted. This means significantly better ROI and less wasted impressions, since each household can be targeted individually and distinctly based on different factors.
