Curating for context: Enhancing ad relevance with Adsquare’s Geo-Contextual PMP

As programmatic media buying evolves, curated deals are emerging as a smarter, more effective way to reach the right audience. One of the most powerful ways to elevate curated deals is through geo-contextual data, which leverages real-world signals to refine ad delivery and boost engagement.

Adsquare’s Geo-Contextual PMP is a curated marketplace solution that combines location intelligence with premium ad inventory. By incorporating key contextual layers—Points of Interest (POIs) and weather conditions—advertisers can significantly improve relevance and campaign performance.

Unlike static audience segments that rely on demographics and behavioural signals alone, geo-contextual targeting integrates real-time environmental factors to ensure ad messages are highly relevant in the moment. This approach is particularly effective in curated deals, where advertisers can refine inventory selection and audience segmentation to align with specific brand objectives.

Targeting with points of interest (POIs)

POIs serve as a powerful intent signal in Adsquare’s Geo-Contextual PMP, enabling advertisers to curate deals based on real-world consumer behaviour. By targeting users near high-traffic, high-intent locations, brands can align messaging with immediate consumer needs, driving stronger engagement and conversions.

Example use cases:

• Retail: Convert foot traffic into in-store purchases by serving exclusive discounts or limited-time offers to users near flagship stores or competitor locations.
• Entertainment: Maximise event attendance by promoting last-minute ticket sales to users near concert venues, sports stadiums, or nightlife districts.
• Travel & hospitality: Capture high-intent travelers with hotel, car rental, or experience-based ads when they arrive at airports or transit hubs.

By integrating POI data into curated deals, Adsquare empowers advertisers to deliver contextually relevant ads at moments of peak engagement, driving foot traffic and campaign effectiveness.

Leveraging weather conditions for dynamic targeting

Weather is a key driver of consumer behaviour, influencing purchasing decisions in categories such as fashion, food, and automotive. Adsquare’s Geo-Contextual PMP enables brands to curate inventory that aligns with weather-driven consumer needs, ensuring maximum ad relevance.

Examples of weather-triggered campaigns:

• Fashion & retail: Drive impulse purchases by promoting thermal wear as temperatures drop or umbrellas right before a downpour near high-footfall shopping areas.
• Food & beverage: Boost demand for comfort food on colder days or ice cream when temperatures hit record highs.
• Automotive: Increase conversion rates by serving winter tire promotions in areas experiencing snowfall or car wash discounts after heavy rainstorms.

By curating weather-responsive deals, advertisers can anticipate consumer needs in real time, delivering hyper-relevant messaging that increases purchase intent and brand impact.

Benefits of geo-contextual targeting for advertisers

Adsquare’s Geo-Contextual PMP provides several advantages that enhance curated deals:

• Precision targeting: Context-driven targeting ensures that ads are delivered in highly relevant moments.
• Higher engagement: Ads resonate more when they align with real-world conditions and consumer intent.
• Optimised media spend: Curated inventory reduces waste and ensures budgets are allocated to high-performance placements.
• Privacy compliance: Location data enables privacy-first targeting without reliance on cookies.
