Near is the largest source of real world data intelligence on people and places, processing data from over 1.6 billion monthly users across 44 countries. The Near Platform powers data-driven marketing and enrichment offerings through a suite of SaaS products. The users of the platform can leverage audience, spatial, retail, among other data in a privacy-led environment.
Near helps digital publishers understand their customers better with real-world intelligence to enhance the value of their data. Publishers can enrich their first-party data with real-world data to create audiences based on real-world attributes empowering them to increase their yield.
Telstra uses Near’s flagship product, Allspark, to create new audience segments based on customers or those of competitors. Allspark allows Telstra to understand how different audiences behave around physical stores and allows Telstra to reach out to them via mobile marketing messages. Telstra can then evaluate the effectiveness of the messaging based on the behaviour of the customers who have been exposed.
Allspark gives you instant access to advanced audience curation and marketing capabilities. You can curate diverse audiences across geographies based on large-scale real-world data sets such as home/work location, brand affinity, geo-radius and many more. In addition to unique audience insights, you can visualize your audience to notice trends through the use of PlaceMatrix, Near’s proprietary repository of building footprints. Pre-integrations with TTD, Google Marketing Platform and more allow you to activate audiences in the marketing platform of your choice seamlessly in real-time.
