DAC enters capital partnership with real-world behavior data platform provider Tangerine Inc.

Tokyo, August 8, 2018--- D.A.Consortium Inc. (DAC) has just invested in a private placement offered by Tangerine Inc. (Tangerine), which provides a real-world behavior data platform based on beacons and other near-field sensing technologies, and entered a capital partnership with the company to bolster DAC’s capacity to provide online-to-offline (O2O) marketing solutions that are beneficial to both advertisers and sei-katsu-sha (our term for consumers that encompasses all aspects of their lives).

As demand for online marketing has risen with the increasing digitalization of society, retailers in particular have been seeking communications that traverse both the online and the offline worlds. Associating online and offline customer behavior data had been impractical until recently, but today the use of beacons and other IoT sensors has made it possible to measure store visits by customers who viewed online ads and to measure and analyze online ads’ impact on in-store behavior and purchasing.

The Tangerine nearMETM Platform is a real-world behavior data platform that uses beacons to store and analyze data on offline sei-katsu-sha behavior. By visualizing and analyzing sei-katsu-sha behavior in offices, stores, train stations, and tourist attractions, the platform enables companies to advance omni-channel marketing and improve marketing outcomes. Tangerine beacons are already being installed by public institutions and large corporations with physical retail stores throughout Japan.

Through this capital partnership, DAC and Tangerine will work to elevate ad-delivery accuracies by connecting online data from DAC’s AudienceOne DMP (*1) with real-world behavior data based on location information gathered with the Tangerine nearMETM Platform. The companies will also push ahead with joint development of solutions connected to DAC’s DialogOne® messaging management solution. (*2)

DAC will continue to provide O2O marketing solutions that unite online and offline to support better communications between advertisers and customers and to help further advance the digital advertising market.
