Hyper-Local
Geo-Tracking
AI Automation
Without the creep factor.
Privacy-First Targeting
Limited Data Retention
How: Automatic deletion of data after a campaign ends, such as 30 days after a Park Slope event.
Privacy Win: No data hoarding, reducing risk and increasing trust.
No Creepy, Over-Specific Profiling
How: Target based on behavior, not personal details. Example: “People near Fulton Street searching for lunch” instead of “John, 34, likes pizza.”
Privacy Win: Feels like a helpful nudge, not digital surveillance.
Delivering Real Value to Audiences
Hyper-Relevant, Timely Deals
How: Geo-triggered promotions, such as “10% off at this Dumbo bookstore for the next hour.”
Why It Works: Saves time and money, turning a casual stop into a valuable experience.
Solving Needs in Real Time
How: Ads align with immediate search intent, such as a repair shop ad appearing when someone searches “flat tire fix near me.”
Why It Works: Provides timely, convenient solutions.
Strengthening Community Ties
How: Highlight local events and businesses with cultural relevance, such as “Join the Bed-Stuy block party with free café samples.”
Why It Works: Deepens local connections and encourages engagement.
Personalized, But Not Invasive
How: AI adjusts ad content based on broad trends, such as more coffee ads on chilly mornings in Prospect Park.
Why It Works: Feels relevant and useful without crossing personal boundaries.
Brooklyn-Tested. Brooklyn-Proven.
Strategic Geofencing: Targeting key locations from Barclays Center to Greenpoint’s Polish district.
Privacy-Compliant Tools: Snapchat Geofilters, Google Ads Extensions, Foursquare Ad Network.
Legal Alignment: Fully adheres to the NY SHIELD Act and all privacy regulations.
A Perfect Balance: Business Growth, Audience Value, Privacy Respect.
For Clients: More sales, foot traffic, and brand loyalty. Example: A Fort Greene deli sees a 20% increase in weekday customers.
For Audiences: Convenience, savings, and discovery—without feeling watched.
For Privacy: Transparent, anonymized targeting with clear opt-in controls.

Monadnock
Innovative Urban Village
A data-driven, community-focused approach that blended digital precision with grassroots outreach.
We crafted a compelling brand identity—featuring the name "IUV Construction Prep," a modern logo, and the tagline "Building Futures, One Cohort at a Time"—to resonate with local residents aged 18-45 seeking career opportunities.
The recruitment campaign leveraged geo-targeted Meta ads (reaching over 20,000 people), email blasts with high engagement (35% open rate, 20% click-through), and partnerships with over 20 local organizations like Man Up and the Local Development Corporation of East New York for flyer distribution and info sessions.
Results were stellar: the campaign doubled its engagement target (200% of 10,000 reached), drew over 300 qualified applicants (against a 150 goal), and enrolled 35 participants in the inaugural cohort (140% of the 25 target), setting a strong foundation for job placements in the Innovative Urban Village’s Phase 1A construction and beyond.
