  • Multi-county conversion: Campaign architecture bridges Dauphin, Cumberland, and Perry County audiences with unique CTAs for commuters and residents.
  • Transit-driven attribution: Integrations with Amtrak Keystone data, CAT bus schedules, and 83/81 corridor analytics show exactly where new demand originates.

“The Midtown retail crawl once relied on paper flyers. Now we have an immersive microsite with live mural maps, SMS reminders, and data sharing with TheBurg. Foot traffic climbed 36% across participating shops.”
