Lat49 (www.lat49.com) is a new mapvertising network that opens a whole new online territory to advertisers who want precise and intuitive geo-targeting. Lat49 is optimized for online interactive maps, an interactive medium with a big audience and high user engagement metrics. Known as mapvertising, or on-map advertising, lat49 provides advertisers with a unique opportunity to execute both brand and local advertising initiatives. Through the lat49 self-serve interface, advertisers buy the exclusive advertising rights to map real estate. Anytime a user looks at your real estate across the lat49 network, your ad will show. Land parcels can be bought at multiple zoom levels to suit the goals of the advertising campaign. Owning the map's most zoomed out country view will support branding initiatives while local advertisers may choose to regionally tune their messaging and target the local, neighborhood, or urban level audiences. 85% of all Internet users use online maps and this audience has been virtually unreachable by advertisers until now. Other ad serving technologies currently competing for the online marketer’s dollar are not optimized for the Ajax and Flash technologies used to build interactive map sites which results in several key issues for the advertiser. Lat49 addresses these issues by optimizing ads for on-map display and providing the ultimate geolocational, contextual advertising solution.
