Gimbal Launches Cross-Device Location Attribution
Ad Impressions Served Across Devices Now Matched to In-Store Visitation
LOS ANGELES, September 7, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Gimbal, the identity-driven marketing and advertising platform powered by physical-world data, today announced the ability for advertisers to measure in-store visits based on programmatic ad impressions served to desktop, tablet and mobile devices.
In-store measurement has long been a mobile-focused effort since smartphones are a proxy to where individuals go in the physical word. Yet marketers know their prospects aren’t only consuming media on mobile devices.
Coupling our enterprise-grade location data and beacon technology with the most precise identity-matching technology available allows our partners to measure place visits with accuracy, precision and confidence.

Since acquiring Drawbridge’s media business in May and implementing its cross-device solution, Gimbal has further enhanced its targeting capabilities to execute campaigns across mobile, tablet, desktop and connected TV.
Gimbal’s flagship attribution product - Arrival - measures foot traffic by utilizing its panel of first-party, always-on location data sighted by its location SDK against devices exposed to specific media campaigns. Gimbal can then passively capture real-time entry, exit and dwell-time data of each place visit, allowing for highly accurate measurement at scale.
Starting today, Arrival’s enhanced device-level metrics now include visitation by time of day, day of week and distance between ad exposure and store visit - by screen. These deeper insights will allow advertisers and agencies to better analyze their consumers and campaign results and make better targeting decisions moving forward.
“Coupling our enterprise-grade location data and beacon technology with the most precise identity-matching technology available allows our partners to measure place visits with accuracy, precision and confidence,” said Matthew Russo, chief marketing officer of Gimbal.
Being able to connect cross-device audiences with Gimbal’s extensive location data set to measure store visitation creates the most comprehensive offline measurement suite available in the industry today. This omni-channel view provides marketers with a broader understanding of what channels are most effective in driving consumers to a physical point of interest - insights that can be used to optimize campaigns in real time to decrease ad spend and increase performance.
