Hyper localization and the use of proximity beacon technology is quickly gaining ground as a powerful channel for reaching consumers, with implementations extending beyond retail to include events, airports, museums, sports venues and more. As new use cases emerge and the technology evolves, marketers and technologists alike are continually exploring strategies for leveraging iBeacons to showcase their brands and stay relevant - and ways to do it at a massive scale.
