  • Guiding a brand’s reopening plan across regions, states, and cities which all have their own local guidelines in place

  • Triggering store trade/service area marketing campaigns as needed
  • Allocating digital marketing dollars at a hyper-localized level to reflect conditions and consumer behaviors in those markets
