Streetblimps Uses Smartphone App To Improve Mobile Billboard Effectiveness

TeleNav Track™ from AT&T Helps Streetblimps Improve and Document Mobile Billboard Performance for Advertisers

New York, New York, August 04, 2011 ShareThis
Your mobile billboard is currently displaying your ad right here.  Streetblimps, a national outdoor advertising solutions provider, is using the TeleNav Track™ from AT&T* application to quickly and accurately document mobile billboard location and performance for its advertising clients.

Drivers of StreetBlimps’ truck-mounted mobile billboards use TeleNav Track from AT&T on BlackBerry® Torch™ smartphones to map routes that help advertisers reach target audiences and also document the effectiveness of the billboards. Fortune 500 companies and other well-known clients can now benefit from the enhanced reliability and accuracy of Streetblimps mobile and out-of-home billboard advertising solutions. To see the mobile solution in action, watch this Streetblimps video from AT&T.

AT&T and Streetblimps

“AT&T’s smartphone solution has allowed us to modernize and streamline our daily tracking, execution and reporting processes to the benefit of our clients,” said Douglas J. Frantin, president of Streetblimps.

Prior to using TeleNav Track from AT&T, Streetblimps drivers had to report their locations every hour on the hour and use cameras to document their progress along each daily route, which would then be submitted with reports at the end of each day and couriered overnight to clients. Using the capabilities of TeleNav Track from AT&T, Streetblimps has the ability to give clients updates on the exact location of their mobile billboards via a secure web portal that provides a minute-by-minute “breadcrumb trail” of every vehicle displaying the billboard, as well as provide them with a comprehensive performance recap of mobile billboard locations at the end of an ad campaign. The company no longer has to pay for cameras, photo development and overnight delivery fees, a significant savings when multiplied by the dozens of mobile billboards Streetblimps has working for clients.

Streetblimps is an out-of-home media solutions company offering innovative promotion strategies in the U.S. and soon Canada, such as mobile billboards, street teams, nightlife projection promotions and guerilla marketing programs, for top companies to help build brand awareness.
