Location intelligence summary

One city, several audiences a day

Vienna International Airport doesn't have a rush hour; it has flight banks. Departures peak in the morning, long-haul arrivals land in waves, and between them travelers dwell for 60–90 minutes with phones often stowed. The buying model that matches that is hourly: pay for the banks when your audience is captive, skip the dead hours.
