Lyft Media Expands Suite of Measurement and Targeting Capabilities

Lyft Media is continuing to grow and expanding its measurement solutions to give advertisers greater visibility into campaign performance. Now, advertisers can measure online and offline conversions using trusted, third-party partners like Foursquare, NCS and Kochava. We have also expanded our targeting solutions through a partnership with LiveRamp to onboard advertisers' custom datasets to activate on Lyft. This is another step towards building a unique ad platform that advertisers can use to drive brand objectives.

Precise measurement, deeper insights

Lyft Media's new capabilities provide comprehensive insights into online and offline actions, like mobile app events, foot traffic lift, and offline sales lift. Advertisers now have actionable insights into campaign effectiveness to guide future strategies - all powered by trusted third-party partners to ensure accurate and verified reporting.
