Last week, Locala was named on the ‘2021 Programmatic Power Players’ list at AdExchanger. This list recognizes the top agencies and strategic partners in the programmatic advertising world.
The judges evaluated hundreds of agencies and strategic partners worldwide based on the strength and breadth of offerings, documented case studies and client references.

At Locala, we deliver advertising that drives more customers to stores, dealerships, and restaurants. We help brands move away from proxy media metrics to measure the real-world performance of their advertising spend in a single unified platform that links their investments back to real-world measurements.

Our Technology

Our omnichannel drive-to-store platform, Fusio, is the first platform which optimizes campaigns in real time to deliver incremental visits to stores as a direct result of brands’ advertising efforts – whether through mobile, video, audio, display or OOH. These visits are always independently verified by third-party measurement players to separate incremental visits from organic traffic, while also excluding passers-by and employees.

Fusio leverages reliable and unique location data from mobile devices to deliver data-driven drive-to-store campaigns to consumers across the globe. We help marketers optimize their campaign parameters such as location targeting, publishers, creatives, or the type of devices and network connection to get the best return on their ad spend and drive incremental store visits.

Our Methodology

We’ve created a robust incrementality methodology using tried and tested scientific methods and applied it to drive-to-store programmatic advertising. For each and every campaign we create two identical groups, a control and an exposed group. We add a variable (delivering the advert) and compare the effect of this variable by comparing it to a consistent control group that didn’t receive it. That means we can be sure that the difference in the outcome is because of that one variable (as everything else was the same) and not an external factor.

The Locala method randomly divides your target in two groups in real time: an exposed group who will see the ad, and a smaller control group who will not see the ad.

Although the audience is the same, there are factors that can affect their composition. Some people in your audience might be employees, organic visits, near the store and mistakenly be counted as a visit. Our methodology uses ratios to ensure results are statistically relevant quickly and avoids any errors due to data randomness.

You can learn more about incrementality and how it’s measured in our Academy Webinar Series.

We also measure statistical significance with our Uplift Trust feature to ensure results are reliable.

This is a measure of statistical significance of the result, it shows that we have enough data to be sure that the results (uplift and incremental visits) aren’t affected by data randomness. Fusio analyses the volume of data and signals when it has enough data for the results to be statistically significant.

Proven Results

A recent campaign for Palmer’s, the number one Cocoa Butter brand in the US, generated impressive results against business KPIs, driving +27,736 in-store visits to specified retailer locations, garnering a 0.38% CTR above the standard benchmark. Locala’s Dynamic Catchment Area (DCA) tool had a significant impact on driving visits for the brand, accounting for 93% of the visits.

Another campaign for restaurant chain Subway generated significant traffic to its locations around France. The Initial campaign objective was to achieve 200,000 visits to the store locator but, the campaign optimization and specific targeting exceeded the goal by 31% and acquired 262,160 visits within 30 days. Subway also saw a high click-through-rate of 4.26%, which is an impressive rate when compared to an industry benchmark of 1.6%. Finally, when comparing the total users exposed to the campaign versus users not exposed, the results showed a 46.72% uplift of visits to Subway restaurants across France.

The judges were looking for the best attribution solution available to the APAC market today – along with evidence that it really works.

Proven Results

A recent campaign for auto brand SEAT generated impressive results against business KPIs, with an average of 5 days recorded between ad exposure and dealership visit. Overall, SEAT registered a +16% footfall uplift while the cost per incremental visit decreased by 20%, demonstrating a significant return on ad spend.

Another campaign for restaurant chain Nando’s generated meaningful business outcomes for the brand (and was Highly Commended for Best Mobile Campaign in the same awards). It reached an impressive 800,000 Singaporeans over its month-long duration and drove more than 10,000 visits to restaurants. This represents a 1.51% visitation rate – 1.5X higher than the market average. Among the total visits registered in Nando’s restaurants, over 43% were incremental, with an impressive footfall uplift of 72%.

We’re thrilled to share that Locala won Best Restaurant Campaign at the OMMA Awards for our Nando’s activations in Singapore. For over 10 years, these prestigious awards have been honoring online marketing excellence across all industry sectors by recognizing companies and advertisers that push the potential of digital advertising.

Our winning campaign saw Nando’s partner with Locala and media agency Vizeum Singapore to create dynamic mobile activations to drive customers to physical dining spots. To help the brand stand out, we developed a customized drive-to-store strategy using interactive mobile ad formats to target audiences with a proven interest in Nando’s restaurants. Our ads leveraged users’ real-time location to deliver a live map with walking or driving directions to help diners find their nearest Nando’s. In just one month, we reached an impressive 800,000 Singaporeans and drove over 10,000 visits to restaurants, allowing for a staggering 72% footfall uplift.

Locala services thousands of clients across the globe working across multiple verticals, brands, and markets. Being recognized for such a prestigious award acknowledges the capabilities of Fusio, our drive-to-store platform, and its ability to drive customers to stores, dealerships and restaurants.

We’d like to thank Nando’s and Vizeum Singapore for trusting us with this campaign and congratulate them on this win!

We’re proud to share that Locala won the Gold Award in the Web-To-Store & Data category at Data Festival 2019 . These awards celebrate brands which leverage data towards a better performance and the tech providers that help them achieve outstanding results.

Being recognized for our use of mobile data to generate customer foot traffic in stores is the perfect early Christmas present. And we’d like to thank our clients SEAT and Re-Mind PHD – we wouldn’t have won this award without you – so, congratulations to you too!

SEAT partnered with Locala and media agency Re-Mind PHD to create a dynamic advertising video campaign to help customers immerse themselves in the SEAT brand universe and drive them to their showrooms. The brand ran this campaign on an always-on approach for six months. During that time, we leveraged 3^rd party data to independently measure the visits generated by the campaign and optimize in real-time towards the best footfall uplift. By the end of the campaign, Locala’s real-time optimization allowed a +16% footfall uplift and SEAT estimated that the campaign generated €1.83 million incremental revenue.

Congratulations to all the nominees and winners! See the full list of winners here.

We are very proud to announce that our Kiko Milano Beauty Campaign has won two awards at the Netcomm Awards 2019 last May! Organized by Italian Digital Commerce Consortium Netcomm, these awards celebrate the best in digital commerce and retail in the Italian market. Being shortlisted with some of the best in the industry was a real honor and we had a great time attending this prestigious event with them.

Our Kiko Milano Beauty Campaign came to life when international beauty brand Kiko Milano decided to take matters into their own hands to drive visits to its stores. Indeed, with high-streets and shopping centers saturated with promotions and discounts, the challenge for the brand was to find a way to stand out. To do so, Kiko partnered with Locala and digital marketing agency iProspect to launch a series of advertising campaigns throughout the year to increase visits across its 663 stores. The Kiko Beauty drive-to-store campaigns were a huge success: the brand registered a 165% visitation uplift and 67% of in-store visits across all countries were incremental. This campaign impressed the jury with such positive results, and we are delighted to have brought home the Award for Best Beauty Campaign and the Award for Best Campaign of the Year!

We had a fantastic evening celebrating everyone. Locala was up against some very impressive contenders and it was real teamwork that enabled us to win these awards. So, congratulations as well to our amazing partners: Kiko and iProspect! Winning these awards means a great deal to us and is a real testament to the hard work of our teams, who commit to deliver innovative drive-to-store campaigns year after year. A special congratulations to the Italian team, who have made the magic happen!

Congratulations to all the nominees and winners this year! It was an honor to be recognized among some of the best industry achievements. Looking forward to what the rest of the year will bring!

We are delighted to announce that Locala has won the La Nuit des Rois 2019 Gold Award for Best eBusiness & Drive-to-Store solution on March 14th, 2019! Organized by French digital marketing media Viuz, La Nuit des Rois awards celebrate the best digital marketing solutions in the French market based on two major criteria: performance and innovation. We were honored to be shortlisted among some of the industry’s greatest and to attend this prestigious event alongside them.

Our Rexona Protection Active+ campaign came to be when Unilever and media agency Mindshare called on us to create a mobile advertising campaign for its new antiperspirant range. So, we devised a moment marketing campaign to engage with customers by displaying personalized messages depending on the time of day and the app shoppers were using. What characterized this approach was its ability to measure the true impact of ad exposure on antiperspirant sales by comparing the sales results of a specific city targeted with Locala’s campaign with those of a non-exposed sample city. With an 11% sales uplift on the new Rexona range in the targeted city, and a 9% and 12% sales uplift on men’s products and women’s products respectively, the campaign’s results were overwhelmingly positive, which led to its nomination in this year’s La Nuit des Rois awards.

Locala was up against some very impressive contenders and we are beyond happy to have won the Gold Award for the eBusiness & Drive-to-Store category! However, this moment marketing campaign would not have been possible without our partner media agency, Mindshare. Congratulations to you, too, for making this happen!

We are humbled by this win, which reflects the hard work of our teams who keep on pushing boundaries every day to deliver innovative drive-to-store campaigns. Keep up the good work!

At Locala, we recognize the importance of creating innovative, engaging and results-oriented campaigns. So, for this campaign, we partnered with LEGO and media agency Carat to create a chatbot campaign that both reflected LEGO’s brand identity and included a seasonal Christmas angle to appeal to shoppers.

This innovative chatbot campaign, uniquely designed for mobiles, helped LEGO to drive engagements during a highly competitive holiday season. It not only allowed the international toymaker to build brand awareness but also to make holiday shopping easier for its target audience.

The campaign leveraged real-time location based targeting to boost foot traffic into Subway’s restaurants. Consumers up to 400 meters from a restaurant location saw a unique ad with a tailored message displaying the distance to a nearby Subway restaurant. The campaign objectives was to achieve 200,000 visits to the store locator but the campaign exceeded the goal by 31% and acquired 262 160 visits within 30 days. The results delivered a 46.72% uplift in visits to Subway restaurants across France.

It is a real honour to be recognised by the MMA Smarties jury, a global panel of senior brand marketers and advertising agency executives. We received the Gold award in the Programmatic category and Silver award for the Location-Based category. This is one of the most recognised awards in the mobile advertising industry worldwide.

This award winning case was possible thanks to the collaboration and hard work of our teams worldwide. A huge congratulations to L’Oréal for sharing this recognition with Locala and to many more wins ahead!

London, December 17, 2015 – Locala (Solutions for Mobile), the pioneering adtech platform specialising in mobile, announced today it received the 2015 Cristal Festival’s Best Start-Up Award in the Marketing Innovation category. 

The Cristal Festival Jury, composed of marketing, technology, and media industry experts from around the world, awarded Locala with the prestigious honour due to its creation and innovation in the mobile space, in particular its vision to bring full transparency to the sector through its industry leading technology. Notably, the launch of the mobile AdVerification Score by Locala this year was recognised by the Cristal Festival as a breakthrough for advertisers, bringing accountability and tracking mobile investments made by brands.

“The Best Start-Up award was created this year in order to reward innovations in technology that reinvents the relationship between brands and their consumers” said Christian Cappe, President and Founder of Cristal Festival. “Today mobile is the driving force behind innovation that revolutionises advertising as we know it. The jury is pleased to present the first ever Best-Start-up award to Locala, a very promising mobile player.”

“Locala was created with a mission to ensure advertisers and media agencies have control on their advertising campaigns through new measurement standards. To receive this award from such a renowned panel of judges, gives us certainty that our vision for the mobile marketing industry is accurate,” explains Christophe Collet, CEO of Locala. “We are delighted to celebrate our first international award with our team and client partners worldwide. With this industry recognition, we will set our sights high for more successes in 2016.”

Having raised $8 Million in funding earlier this year and doubling its staff in just six months, Locala is finishing 2015 on a high note with two consecutive awards. In November, the company was recognised with the Revelation Award of the Year, for companies with impressive growth by the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 in France.

The Cristal Festival welcomes more than 1000 international executives and professionals from the advertising and creative worlds in Courchevel, France, every year. This internationally-recognised event brings the year to a close by celebrating the most innovative and noteworthy efforts in the industry in various award categories. The Marketing Innovation category rewards creative pioneers reinventing technology to better serve consumers in the advertising industry.
