Company Overview
Bering Media lets you reach your local consumers online across any website using Bering Media’s unique hyperlocal geo-targeting technology. Bering Media’s technology provides accuracy and local granularity that has been missing from the Internet. Location-based advertising is a well-known and effective marketing method in traditional media that drives results, as consumers spend most of their disposable income within only a few miles of their home. Bering Media brings this hyperlocal targeting to the Internet for the first time. Online, there's no telling what websites a consumer will visit. Our geo-targeting technology focuses on reaching local demographic instead of trying to figure out what local websites they may visit.
