Company Summary

Approximately 80% of consumer spending in the US occurs within 15 miles of home. Yet, there is no efficient, scalable solution for a business to target consumers within a service area this size with any relevancy in the digital realm. Local Yokel Media is the first single-source advertising platform to enable local, regional or national advertisers to reach audiences in their immediate service area on relevant local websites and content.
