Wrapify, the innovative and performance-driven out-of-home (OOH) advertising platform, announces Valerie Carboni as their first Vice President of Marketing. Valerie brings more than 12 years of experience in B2B marketing, most recently leading a global marketing team at TrustYou. Previously, Valerie worked at Cvent (CVT), leading the product marketing efforts for their Hospitality Cloud solutions.

In an effort to empower more brands with measurable OOH campaigns, Valerie will ensure that all marketers are fully aware of the benefits, best practices, and positive results of this form of advertising. Her experience running global marketing strategies, which required a clear return-on-investment, make her uniquely qualified to be a trusted resource for brands and agencies looking to do the same. 

“What excites me most about this role is the opportunity to bring ‘campaigns that work’ to marketers who are seeking real, attributable success,” explains Valerie. “Far too often, marketers come up against the challenge of spending money in the wrong places and missing the mark when it comes to ROI. Wrapify is their opportunity to change that.”

James Heller, Wrapify CEO and Founder, adds, “Many brand marketers, especially those focused on ABM or digital marketing, may not know the benefits of high-recall OOH. With Valerie’s knowledge and experience, we aim to help marketers understand the reach and measurability this medium offers.” 

With over seven years of experience in the industry, Wrapify delivers measurable high-recall campaigns for brands like Molson Coors, Zoom, and Amazon. To learn more, subscribe to Wrapify’s LinkedIn newsletter, “We Don’t Just Wrap Cars“.

New Director of Ad Operations, Amy Lynn Boisvert, Brings Unmatched Digital Experience to Wrapify

New Director of Ad Operations, Amy Lynn Boisvert, Brings Unmatched Digital Experience to Wrapify

Continuing to level up the out-of-home (OOH) ad industry, Wrapify introduces Amy Lynn Boisvert as its Director of Ad Operations.

Amy brings 20 years of digital advertising experience to the new role at Wrapify. Before joining our team, she served as the Director of Digital Marketing at Growing Boulder. Prior to that, Amy led programmatic strategy and ad operations at the Boston Globe for more than eight years. Amy’s impressive career also includes working with notable brands such as AOL.

“Amy’s extensive knowledge, programmatic experience, and ability to navigate a rapidly changing industry will elevate Wrapify’s demonstrated success, both for us and our clients,” said Wrapify’s CEO and Founder James Heller.

Wrapify creates robust and fully measurable out-of-home ad campaigns, leveraging the gig economy and the highest-recall OOH medium on the road. Our unique technology can effectively attribute vehicle exposure to conversion online, in-app, or foot traffic. It also provides gig workers with an opportunity to earn extra income for the driving they already do. 

Once a brand identifies regions and sets its target demographic and psychographics, the Wrapify team gets to work. Channeling decades of experience, we produce effective creative for the campaign’s fleet.

And that’s just the beginning. The ability to measure and retarget the audience exposed is what sets us apart — and why Amy’s skill set is crucial for our team.

“As an advertiser, I know car wrapping by itself might seem like a novelty. I experienced the same pain points our clients have, specifically with the lack of attribution,” Amy said. “Wrapify changes the game. I’m excited to be a part of this overdue industry disruption.” 

In this position, Amy will oversee all digital ad operations. She will also work with brands and agencies to implement ‘Physical Retargeting,’ our digital remarketing service, and ‘Audience Porting,’ a true differentiator in the out-of-home space.

“We’ve taken the most noticeable ad medium in out-of-home advertising, vehicle wraps, and revolutionized it,” James explains. “Our platform provides advertisers with visualized attribution and retargeting capabilities while putting cash back into the pockets of the ever-growing gig economy.”

Wrapify 2020 Year in Review

by James Heller January 8, 2021
written by James Heller

2020 was not the year we all planned on having. Despite a global pandemic and all of the curveballs we experienced as a society, brands found new ways to leverage the power of our platform while we continued to support our gig-working heroes.

BRANDS LOVE US

300,000 DRIVERS AND COUNTING!

DOWNLOAD THE LATEST VERSION OF THE APP!

We launched the first nationally scaled static ad topper product on rideshare/gig-delivery vehicles. It opened our platform to brands we would have never been able to serve before. It also provided a great entry point for brands wanting the full suite of attribution, retargeting, and impressions tracking that our platform delivers but at a lower price point than our three wrap options.

READ MORE

The early effects of the pandemic were being seen overseas. Wrapify was having its best quarter in the company’s history. Little did we and the entire OOH industry know what was about to take place in our economies around the world. 

The U.S. ad industry came to a screeching halt. Ad spend transitioned away from Out-of-Home (OOH) and into digital advertising platforms like Facebook and Programmatic Digital including CTV. The OOH industry got hit hard. Rideshare also saw a dramatic pullback. We got hit hard too and had to let a few valuable team members go. 

Instead of throwing in the towel, we got fired up! We adapted and reacted to an emerging new trend — the rapid adoption of app-enabled food and grocery delivery. Many of the 300,000+ drivers on our platform transitioned in part or fully away from rideshare to food and grocery delivery for platforms like DoorDash and Instacart. 

Boom!  

Wrapify was uniquely positioned to provide brands with street-level media that actually reaches an audience where they live. Where do food and grocery delivery drivers typically drive?  

Neighborhoods! 

Hyperlocal became the new norm, and Wrapify got brands in neighborhoods via gig drivers with the frequency and recall brands love.

Brands realized siege mentality is a surefire way to fail. Sharp marketers looked at ways to reach an audience while stay-at-home orders were in effect. We also started the development of productizing our patented measurement and attribution features for Transit Media operators by laying the groundwork for Boost.

With nationwide tragedies and outcry taking place, we decided to use our advertising abilities for a cause and to not be silent. We donated a Static+ Rideshare Topper campaign to the NAACP to help fight racial injustice. Soon the message, “SILENCE IS NOT AN OPTION” hit the streets.

While continuing to serve the nation’s largest brands, we launched a brand new version of our Advertiser Dashboard that included updates to data visualization for attribution and retargeting. This was the first time moving OOH inventory could be monitored for impression data, attribution, and retargeting in a dashboard online.

READ MORE

We also surveyed our driver base and uncovered some really interesting trends. What brands do gig-drivers want to advertise with most? Which gig-platforms are they turning to this year? 

READ MORE

We announced Boost, a first-of-its-kind measurement solution for Transit Media Operators, and began serving beta clients like AllOver Media! 

READ MORE

We made it into the Inc. 5000 for the second year in a row! The 2020 Inc. 5000 achieved an incredible three-year average growth of over 500 percent and a median rate of 165%. 

READ MORE

We saw a massive rebound in brands launching campaigns across the country. Several existing brand clients, such as Zoom, DoorDash, T-Mobile, Heineken, 7-Eleven doubled down on the gig-drivers participating with Wrapify.

Adweek ranked Wrapify in its annual Adweek 100: Fastest Growing feature, as we saw a three-year growth of over 250%!

READ MORE

Our operations team took it to the max and leveraged the power of our national network of printers and installers to wrap the most vehicles in a two-week timespan. We moved mountains!

We supported Yes on Prop 22 with our partners at DoorDash to help get this important California state law passed.

Our engineering team doubled in size and made several advancements in our mobile apps to refine the user experience, tracking GPS data, and stability.

BOTS! BOTS! BOTS! We launched the first Bot Advertising solution by leveraging our operational scale and Boost by Wrapify to power measurement, attribution and multi-channel retargeting.

READ MORE

WHAT’S NEXT?

We are as excited as you are about seeing 2020 coming to an end. We are even more excited about entering 2021 with the effects of the pandemic (hopefully) coming to end. Our team is hard at work making the platform better than ever. Stay tuned for BIG updates in Q1 2021! 

Happy New Year from the entire Wrapify team!

by James Heller December 2, 2020
written by James Heller

New category creation of OOH enables brands to reach consumers at street-level with key metrics

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 02, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Wrapify, the performance-driven ad tech platform for brands powered by out-of-home (OOH) and the gig economy, today announced a first-of-its-kind autonomous bot delivery campaign alongside partners Kiwibot, the robotics company providing affordable and accessible delivery service and Gong, the revenue intelligence platform leveraging artificial intelligence to transform revenue teams, kicking off in San Jose and coming soon to Denver and Los Angeles.

Robotic delivery services can promise contactless delivery, a highly sought-after service under mandates of social distancing. With autonomous bots on the rise, Wrapify’s Boost provides these delivery operators with a brand-new transit media revenue stream with the ability to provide brand and agency clients robust attribution reporting, data visualization and multi-channel retargeting capabilities.

Gong has launched a campaign with Kiwibot on the streets of San Jose leveraging Boost by Wrapify’s offline-to-online advertising for transit OOH. Complete with connecting the bot’s location data, Gong is able to create a targeted audience, extend the reach of their OOH ad placement, and measure performance against custom conversion goals.

“We’re always looking for ways to cut through the noise,” explained Udi Ledergor, chief marketing officer at Gong. “We’ve partnered with the Wrapify team before to hijack conference traffic with innovative out-of-home advertising and we’re excited to pilot their latest initiative with Kiwibot to explore new frontiers of engaging advertising for this new economy.”

According to eMarketer, digital out-of-home ad spending will increase from $2.72 billion in 2020 to $3.84 billion in 2023. This campaign is a first-of-its-kind for autonomous bot delivery and of many other vehicle mediums for the Boost by Wrapify Platform.

“2020 became the year of identifying new opportunities for innovation and pushing boundaries,” said James Heller, CEO and co-founder of Wrapify. “No other ad tech company or platform encompasses all of the features that turn a fleet’s moving OOH ad placement into digital and physical retargeting with full attribution and measurement. We are creating a brand-new category of out-of-home, enabling bots to serve high-recall, street-level media that can be tracked and attributed.”

Press Release: Wrapify Releases First of its Kind OOH Measurement and Attribution Dashboard

by James Heller July 14, 2020
written by James Heller

Latest version of Wrapify’s OOH Attribution Suite Turbocharges OOH Brand Campaigns

San Diego, CA — July 14th, 2020 — Wrapify, the performance-driven ad tech platform for brands powered by out-of-home (OOH) and the gig economy, today announced its newest update to its online dashboard, providing real-time access to its attribution and retargeting data for a moving OOH ad placement.

“It is really exciting to see attribution technology persist across the OOH ecosystem,” said Udi Ledergor, CMO at Gong. “It helps demonstrate the value and ROI of OOH, which has always been a big challenge for marketers. It also helps bridge the gap between offline and online marketing, which we’ve all been trying to do for the better part of a decade.”

With the recent pandemic and recession in 2020, brands are looking for unique ways to hyper-target their ideal markets, not just out on the streets, but in targeted neighborhoods and homes as well. As brands have increasingly been returning to advertising outside of the home more than ever, Wrapify’s latest advertiser dashboard allows them to measure this medium digitally for effective monitoring and scaling. 

“Helping media strategists visualize campaign performance data in real-time is fundamental to informed decision making,” explains Kasper Koczab, OOH industry veteran. “With these new dashboard features, Wrapify is leading the way among OOH providers by giving brands the insights they need to make the most of their media investments.” 

Wrapify continues to innovate its digital OOH offering for brands and agencies with improved data visualization, retargeting, and OOH attribution metrics that are accessible online — a first-of-its-kind for a moving OOH placement. In addition to the updated and streamlined performance, Wrapify’s brand partners now have access to a multitude of new capabilities including Attribution Reporting from OOH Exposure, Retargeted Reporting, OOH Media Measurement and Data Visualization, and SWARM — Wrapify’s day-of-event route mapping and proof of performance photo access.

“The key to selling ads to brands is proof it works,” said Wrapify co-founder and CEO James Heller.  “Measuring and attributing OOH exposure should be as easy as measuring display or search. Our platform enables brands and agencies to measure campaigns by setting goals for online conversions, driving foot-traffic, or in-app activity. With our newest Dashboard updates to the platform, customizing your brand’s ROI for OOH is now possible.”

2020 Elections Meet New Multi-Channel Platform Wrapify

by James Heller November 22, 2019
written by James Heller
Political Candidates Use Wrapify’s Digital Platform Powered by the Gig Economy to Share Powerful Messages and Put Cash Back into the Pockets of the People

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 21, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Wrapify, the performance-driven ad tech platform for brands powered by OOH and the gig economy, has announced it will deploy its wrapped vehicles on the 2020 election trail beginning November 2019 in New Hampshire, featuring political candidates’ campaigns on cars throughout the state. Wrapify is the only ad platform in U.S. history that provides widespread visibility and delivers measurable results for political candidates while boosting jobs for the American population. Political candidate Roque “Rocky” De La Fuente is the first to capitalize on Wrapify’s unique, one-of-a-kind digital marketing platform.

In 2020, brands will continue to focus more of their overall out-of-home display budgets toward digital out-of-home (DOOH), and DOOH will be more integrated with digital buys than ever before. Last year, DOOH accounted for 37.3% of the total global OOH ad spend, according to estimates from WARC. The same report predicts that DOOH will grow 10.1% each year between 2018 and 2021.

2020 candidates are already searching for strategic outlets beyond traditional channels to market themselves and reach constituents in a more differentiated, personal and trackable way. Wrapify presents a new opportunity for political candidates to allocate campaign budgets to creatively reach voters and share their message throughout the voter journey with moments for influence, action and support.

“We work with brands, advertisers and marketers looking for new and powerful ways to reach hyper-targeted audiences — so working with political candidates is a natural fit for Wrapify,” said James Heller, CEO, and co-founder of Wrapify. “Beyond that, everyday drivers are able to monetize their trips by placing advertisements on their vehicles, which puts money back into the pockets of the people while promoting for any campaign. Wrapify is excited to work with Rocky to promote his political campaign in a creative way to connect with the community, launching first here in New Hampshire.”

Wrapify is available to anybody that drives and is looking to make extra money for their everyday commute or routes. Existing gig economy workers such as Lyft, Uber, GrubHub and Postmates drivers are also able to leverage Wrapify’s platform to earn more by monetizing their typical routines and routes.
