Every channel in these plans is bought digitally, so the campaign runs the same whether the person managing it is down the street or 721 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.
