General questions

4screen is the world’s first technology platform designed to connect, interact, and engage with drivers through live content on the in-car screen.
Thanks to our location-based solutions, businesses of all sizes – from local shops to global brands – can increase brand visibility and customer engagement by reaching an exclusive target audience.
Our technology integrates seamlessly into any in-car navigation or infotainment screen and is designed to enhance the overall driving experience, connecting drivers with the environment around them in real-time

 

 

 

Businesses can show drivers where to find their store locations on the map and promote services and offers, directly on the in-car screen. Global and local brands can engage with new customers on a high reach communication channel that enables location-based and real-time interactions. 4screen putting businesses on the map has become the most cost-efficient OOH (Out of Home) platform in the market.

Businesses can now launch and manage their advertising campaigns on 4screen’s platform, maintaining full control over targeting, budget and performance through intuitive dashboards.

Our interactive advertising formats are designed to maximize the visibility of the location to increase the in-store traffic with customers on-the-go and gain or retain new ones with exclusive In-Car Offers.

 

Connected cars generate billions of data points, which OEMs are unable to fully leverage. This means that every vehicle on the road is a business opportunity that can create added value for automakers and drivers. Car manufacturers and mobility providers can finally use these data points thanks to 4screen, which bridges the communication gap between drivers and their surroundings.

With our technology, OEMs give businesses access to their in-car screens, enabling them to provide drivers useful contextual information in real time.
This way, OEMs create mutual added value for drivers and themselves: a next level driving experience with improved navigation and relevant recommendations while monetizing their data.

Finally, the driver’s experience is at the real core for us. Our API is seamlessly integrated into the navigation system, in full respect of the existing UI, while our communications follow all privacy and security regulations.

 
4screen unlocks the true potential of the connected car. Drivers can easily find and interact with their favorite brands or services and receive customized offers from businesses along the route. Never before have drivers been able to explore the car surroundings and discover relevant content that matches their needs as they do now.
At 4screen we are obsessed with the driver experience. The solutions we created are designed to supply value-added services to standard navigation systems. The ad formats we offer are destined to improve the user experience with a technology that follows the highest data privacy and road safety requirements.
 

4screen can be integrated into the navigation and infotainment systems of any car brand in the world.

The 4screen Mobility Platform serves as the technical infrastructure and can be integrated by using an API (Application Programming Interface) easily within days.

Car manufacturers always stay in control of the interface that drivers see. Our software works entirely in the background of navigation systems, without affecting their look and feel.

 

Driver safety and privacy are our priorities, that’s why 4screen is fully compliant with all existing safety and data protection regulations.

All communications are designed with driver safety in mind, avoiding any kind of intrusion or disturbance. The featured content only displays upon request, preventing any distractions while driving. Additionally, at certain speeds, the displayed content is blocked or shown in a driver-friendly view that does not disturb the driver or create risk.

Furthermore, the system is fully compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and local privacy laws and is designed to offer only content that is relevant to the driver.

 

Technical questions

Businesses can set up campaigns through a web portal, enabling real-time communication with drivers. Whenever the car requests 3rd party content, we deliver additional content to support the digital driving experience.

4screen currently offers 4 solutions from which you can choose to increase brand awareness and customer engagement:

    1. Branded Pins are integrated onto the map of navigation screens and automatically display your logo to the drivers within a certain radius of your location.
    2. Search Ad makes your brand appears as a top search result on the in-car location search list. Drivers, when on the road, use the in-car search function to look for the business category they need at that time. If your business is in that category, it will appear at the top of search results along with your brand to stand out from the competition. With one click, a follow-up screen opens containing valuable information about the destination, like distance or opening hours or exclusive offers. With a second click the driver can start navigating to your location.
    3. Your business can provide relevant services to the driver through Recommendations that address the vehicle needs, based on sensor data, such as low battery level in case of electric vehicles.
    4. In-Car Offers allow you to promote your business and communicate exciting deals to your customers via the car screen. These solutions are displayed to the driver when the car is turned on or after interaction with a Branded Pin or search result. You can use them to offer vouchers or discounts, that are displayed on the in-car screen and redeemed at your business.

When it comes to digital marketing, we understand that one size doesn’t always fit all. 4screen helps brands, businesses and services  create tailored advertising and communication campaigns.

  • The four solutions proposed by 4screen run on different logics to adapt to the needs and desires of the driver and to ensure that your target group is as interested in your service as possible.
    • Branded Pin is location and context-based so it will be visible to your target group when they are around your shop during opening hours.
    • Your business can appear at the top of a driver’s Search results, standing out from other brands in the same category. Within the result, you can also include an exclusive offer that will only be visible after clicking on your location.
    • The Recommendation is activated based on data collected by the car, such as low battery level, if you drive an electric vehicle. In which case, the in-car screen will recommend the nearest sponsored charging station.
    • Finally, the In-Car Offer can be displayed when the navigation system is switched on, before driving starts, or when the driver interacts with your location, either through the branded pin or through search results.
 

On our platform, solutions can be bought with two different buying models: Cost per Mille (CPM) and Cost per Click (CPC).

Cost per Mille stands for cost per thousand impressions and means that you pay for each time your brand or promotion is displayed by the driver within the navigation system.

Cost per Click means, instead, that you will pay every time a driver clicks on your brand or the promotion they are viewing.

 

At 4screen, we believe that success should be shared. It is our primary concern to ensure that your business benefits the most from using our platform.

That is why you will always have a contact person to help you find the best solution for you and your business.
