Snap may have Desi Tadka (2020) Hindi Web Serieslost a bunch of money last quarter, and by a bunch we mean $2.2 billion. But it's just a young company trying to build a sustainable business model—and that means adding some "creepy" advertising.

The Seattle-based startup is focused on tracking and measuring consumers locations via their smartphones and using those insights to empower mobile advertising.
Snapchat already offers a "Snap to Store" product that helps advertisers track sales from online to in-store, but that product is limited to only Snapchat and snap data. For example, 80 percent of Snapchat users take snaps in restaurants, according to a study by Greenberg Strategy that Snap commissioned.
What Placed offers is analysis on other third-party platforms like Facebook and Instagram and websites, so that an advertiser or a publisher can compare the outcome of each of them. Placed measures billions of locations, according to its Crunchbase profile.
“Over the past 12 months, Placed has measured more than $500 million in media spend to store visits, across thousands of campaigns and hundreds of partners, cementing Placed as the leader in location-based attribution,” the company wrote in a blog post. “By partnering with Snap, we will do even more."
Like its peers in the social media industry, Snap makes the majority of its revenue from mobile advertising. If it hopes to get a significant cut of the duopoly between Facebook and Google, it'll have to better prove its ads can work.
The move appears to be a far step from Snap CEO Evan Spiegel's former disdain for online tracking.
"We really care about not being creepy,” Spiegel said during the advertising festival Cannes in 2015, in conversation with Cosmopolitan editor, now Snap board member Joanna Coles. “That’s really important to us.”
Of course, the location tracking is all opt-in. Snap also will put in place data-sharing, privacy, and security guidelines so that advertising data is not shared between Snap's own services like "Snap to Store" and the company Placed.
Placed has more than 100 employees, according to GeekWire. The company will operate independently from Snap, maintaining its offices in Seattle, New York, and Los Angeles.
