NEW YORK, Jan. 04, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Digital Place Based Advertising Association (DPAA) announced today that Mobiquity Networks, the largest network of retail mall mobile advertising beacons in the U.S. and a wholly owned subsidiary of Mobiquity Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB:MOBQ), has joined the rapidly growing trade marketing association.

Mobiquity Networks enables marketers to reach shoppers before they make purchase decisions, providing them with hyper-relevant, localized ads in real time.

"Mobiquity is at the forefront of very powerful confluence of digital out-of-home and mobile," said Barry Frey, President & CEO of DPAA. "There is no media tandem that is more effective in reaching consumers when they are on the path to purchase. In Mobiquity's case, the consumers are literally within seconds from the retailer's door, and Mobiquity can identify them via mobile detection."
