Description
Location-based marketing was identified as a business trend for 2014, and companies from the commercial as well as public sector are recognising that location-based apps and activations can better target a captive audience. 65% of all Australians own a smartphone and they are likely to use the device to research companies and products as well as ideas. Organisations wishing to tap in to the passions of this mobile Australian diaspora should be creating personalised location-based experiences.
At this event, a series of location-based specialists will discuss their apps and strategies to engage a mobile audience. 1000heads will facilitate discussion on how to get started with location-based marketing and to consider how digital resources can support a location based campaign.
