Instantly Ad Effectiveness measures the impact of campaigns across a range of media channels, including mobile, out-of-home, and online ads. By leveraging Instantly's large panel of online and mobile consumers and geofencing capabilities, Instantly and its partners are able to evaluate different types of ads by consumer store visitation after exposure, providing clients with a deeper level of insight into the efficacy of their campaigns.

"In today's connected world, consumers are subject to a broad spectrum of ads across devices and channels," said Edan Portaro, Instantly's‎ executive vice president of global business development and mobile innovation.
