Loop Insights Inc. (MTRX:TSXV) (RACMF:OTCQB)
(“
Loop” or the “
Company”), a
provider of contactless solutions and artificial intelligence
("
AI") to drive automated marketing, venue
tracing, and contactless solutions to the brick and mortar space,
is pleased to announce the completion of its previously announced
acquisition (the “
Acquisition”) of the
intellectual property assets of Digital2Go Medial Networks, Inc.
d/b/a Locally (“
Locally”) pursuant to an asset
purchase agreement between the Company and Locally dated February
16, 2021 (the “
APA”). Locally is a technology
company focused on providing location data intelligence and
real-time consumer engagement.
Locally Acquisition Provides Loop Insights
with Unparalleled Location-Based Retail Insights, Foothold in
$28.95-billion Location-Based Services Industry
Rampant digitization and the increasing use of
smartphones have helped grow the location-based services market to
$28.95 billion in 2019, according to Allied Market Research.
As a leader in human movement intelligence data,
Locally has positioned itself to enable businesses to connect their
physical and digital databases through mobile location insights and
marketing integration capabilities. Locally has helped well-known
brands and companies such as Ford, BMW, Wyndham Resorts, Calvin
Klein, Kroger, Chipotle, Napa Auto Parts, 7-11, and others access
deep consumer behavioral insights across all of their marketing
activation channels.
The acquisition of Locally will allow Loop Insights
to incorporate Locally’s location-based data and engagement
capabilities, providing Loop with new revenue opportunities with
brands and retailers looking to capitalize on the increasing use of
location-based services.
Loop Insights CEO, Rob Anson,
stated: ”The stakes have been raised in terms of brand and consumer
expectations and interactions, with consumers demanding that brands
cater to their individual preferences. The unique combination of
Loop’s retail transaction data capabilities and the Locally
location-based engagement platform has significantly improved
Loop’s capabilities across retail, hospitality, and live sports and
entertainment verticals, further enabling us to amplify
frictionless experiences inside and outside nearly any physical
location. With over 50 billion location signals collected to date,
Locally was an obvious fit to acquire and incorporate into Loop’s
product offerings, and will make an immediate impact on our already
robust pipeline.”
Loop’s enhanced location-based capabilities will be
applicable to nearly all of its clients, creating meaningful,
dynamic, and personal connections with consumers, while providing
retailers with unparalleled retail insights. By connecting
transaction information to the unique IDs of users, Loop is able to
drive targeted marketing opportunities and real-time engagement
directly to customers through its wallet pass and other engagement
capabilities.
Terms of the Acquisition
In consideration for the Acquisition, Loop issued
166,250 common shares in the capital of the Company (the
“Shares”) at a price per share of $1.20 for
aggregate consideration of $199,500 to Locally. Any Shares issued
in connection with the Acquisition will be subject to a restricted
period of four months and one day from the date of issuance, as
well as restrictions pursuant to applicable US securities laws.
Locally Acquisition to Support Loop in Data
Acquisition and Monetization Strategies
In support of Loop’s success deploying its venue
management platform in live environments, the acquisition of
Locally will allow Loop Insights to fully integrate location-based
information with transaction data to provide clients with a
comprehensive overview of their guests and their spending
habits.
As outlined in an October 7th, 2020 press release,
Loop Insights has already begun to integrate Locally’s
location-based data insights into Loop’s insights and engagement
platforms. By combining Loop and Locally’s technology stacks, Loop
has been able to offer enhanced location and mobile data insights,
additional targeted marketing capabilities, and new revenue streams
via data monetization with retailers, brands, sponsors, and
marketers.
On December 1st, 2020, Loop announced it had
achieved 100% success in delivering the first-ever fully integrated
“Venue Bubble” in live environments at both NCAA College Basketball
Tournaments. In total, Loop provided 14 check-in locations that
traced over 550 athletes, coaches, and staff members at the two
tournaments. Live demonstrations of the Venue Bubbles lead to
significant discussions about some of North America’s largest
sporting events in 2021, with additional events to be
announced.
