Every channel in these plans is bought digitally, so the campaign runs the same whether the person managing it is down the street or 464 miles away. Search ads show to people in your ZIP codes who are looking for what you sell. Geofencing draws a fence around a place and reaches the phones that pass through it. Streaming TV and pre-roll video reach households in the market on the screens they already watch.
Local radio isn't part of plans here: we buy radio only near Rapid City, through Haugo Broadcasting. For audio, streaming audio reaches Helena listeners on Spotify, Pandora and podcasts.
