PlaceIQ CEO Duncan McCall Named One of Advertising Age's Top 25 Marketing Technology Trailblazers

NEW YORK, April 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- PlaceIQ, the company building a new model of consumer behavior with location data and insights, today announced that CEO Duncan McCall has been named one of Advertising Age's Top Marketing Technology Trailblazers.

This prestigious list, compiled by leading publication Advertising Age, selects just 25 executives from across the entire marketing technology ecosystem that have exhibited innovation in harnessing data to create smart marketing.

PlaceIQ was co-founded by Duncan McCall to deliver technology offerings, rooted in location, that empower marketers with an understanding of the consumer journey and the ability to apply location-aware insights to nearly any business decision. As an early leader in the space, Duncan and PlaceIQ introduced the concept of using location and mobile to provide sophisticated consumer insights.

In 2012, PlaceIQ pioneered foot traffic measurement with the introduction of Place Visit Rate (PVR®), a first-of-its kind metric that has become an industry standard to quantify real-world visitation. Brands and media agencies have relied on PVR for its unique ability to both reveal the offline impact of marketing decisions and couple with other datasets, such as TV viewership and purchase data, to provide insight into the drivers of foot traffic.

PlaceIQ's long list of location data-driven innovations most recently included LandMark, an industry-first offering that gave marketers and businesses seamless access to PlaceIQ's premier location dataset.

LandMark has become a core component for powerful location-derived insights about the real-world customer journey, in ways such as visitation measurement, share-of-visit analysis and audience analytics. Since its introduction, brands have made LandMark the cornerstone for applying insights at all levels of business: media activation, cross-channel strategy, competitive positioning, financial investments, retail site selection optimization, and more.

"This incredible honor is only made possible through the determination and dedication of our amazing team," said Duncan McCall, CEO and co-founder at PlaceIQ. "For more than 7 years, we have remained focused on delivering technology innovation that helps marketers and businesses solve complex challenges. Effective media strategy, activation, accurate attribution, advanced analytics and insights are just a small sampling of the reasons brands continue to turn to PlaceIQ. Ad Age's selection is yet another validation point for our unique heritage of building best-in-class location-based technology offerings."

Ad Age's Top Marketing Trailblazers Award adds to many other of PlaceIQ's accolades including its recent selection as one of the Fastest Growing Technology Companies in North America in the Deloitte Technology Fast 500™.
