PlaceIQ Selected By AlwaysOn as an OnMedia Top 100 Winner

PlaceIQ is a recognized technology leader by brands, media agencies and industry analysts. The company pioneered foot traffic measurement in 2012 with the industry's first Place Visit Rate (PVR®) metric. Since then, PlaceIQ has provided valuable insights that leading brands and media agencies have used to inform media, marketing and business decisions across verticals, including retail, automotive, CPG, travel and entertainment.

PlaceIQ was independently selected by the AlwaysOn editorial team and a jury of industry experts based on five criteria: innovation, market potential, commercialization, stakeholder value, and media buzz. The company will be honored at the 2016 OnMedia NYC event, a day long executive event which will feature CEO presentations and high-level debates on which forces are disrupting user behavior and creating new opportunities in the marketing, branding, advertising, and public relations industries.

"We are honored the industry continues to take notice of our innovation agenda," said Duncan McCall, CEO and co-founder of PlaceIQ. "As an early pioneer in providing consumer insights to brands by harnessing location data, we've spent years building a sophisticated technology platform. By pairing accurate location data with diverse data sets, our platform has been purpose-built to provide consumer insights, and value, to marketers."

The OnMedia Top 100 selection adds to PlaceIQ's list of awards and accolades, which include:

• NAI's selection of PlaceIQ as the first company focused on location for membership
• Mobile Media Association's selection of PlaceIQ CEO Duncan McCall to its North American Board of Directors
• Oracle Data Cloud Activate Award, recognizing Place Visit Rate (PVR)
• Gartner Cool Vendor in Mobile Marketing
• American Business Award, recognizing PlaceIQ as one of the most innovative technology companies of the year

"This year's OnMedia 100 winners are building on successes in digital media and branching out into new territory, taking advantage of today's advances in cloud computing and other on-demand services. Social commerce is flourishing, bringing prosperity to a wide variety of retail markets. Payment options are becoming even more user-friendly and secure. And advertising, marketing, and PR companies are using the recent data explosion to break down established practices and bring people what they want—exactly when they want it," says Tony Perkins, founder and editor of AlwaysOn. "OnMedia 100 winners continue to open up new ways for consumers to connect with goods and services. Innovation in the digital media sector shows no sign of slowing down, and we predict even more growth and positive disruption coming during the next few years."
