Waze offers advertisers access to a comprehensive set of public regions, to be used either as Regional Locations or for Origin/Destination campaign targeting.
Regional Locations:
Advertisers on Waze can choose to use public regions to power their advertising campaigns, by creating regional locations through their account. Since these are not physical store front locations, restrictions apply to how these locations can later be used in advertising campaigns:
-
Can only be used in Takeover campaigns.
-
Can only be used in campaigns without ‘Drive There’ ads.
Origin/Destination Targeting:
Advertisers on Waze can target their campaigns towards drivers whose drive session originated or is ending in one of the publicly available regional areas.
