CEO & Co-Founder @ Vistar Media is an advertising platform that enables brands to reach consumers in the real-world. We work with enormous data sets from wireless carriers that help us understand where consumers go throughout their day. Through our geospatial technology, we are able to not only gain valuable insights from this data but more importantly, are able to act on this data by messaging consumers through mobile and out-of-home advertising.
Vistar Media is the only company that can offer this seamless, surrounding consumer experience across multiple channels to reach consumers on-the-go. The first 1.5 years of our company we built the ad tech infrastructure (ad server and exchange) for digital out-of-home knowing that in order to truly reach a consumer in the real-world, a marketer must have scale across both channels.
