StereoNET, a global publication and community focused on audio and video technology, had a localization problem. Although the site served readers across multiple countries, it couldn’t offer advertisers what they wanted most: the ability to target audiences based on region.
The result? Advertisers were stuck with a one-size-fits-all approach, and StereoNET’s team had to manage ad placements manually—an inefficient process that often led to missed opportunities..
StereoNET turned to Broadstreet for help simplifying their advertising operations—and solving a core challenge: delivering region-specific ads to users around the world without making the backend harder to manage.
Rather than offer a cookie-cutter solution, Broadstreet worked directly with StereoNET’s team to understand their setup, tech stack, and goals. Then, in partnership with geo-targeting platform Geo Targetly, Broadstreet implemented a custom JavaScript integration that allowed ads to display automatically based on the visitor’s geographic location.
What used to be a manual, time-consuming workflow became an automated system—one that improved ad relevance and drastically reduced the need for oversight.
Since rolling out the Broadstreet and Geo Targetly backed solution, StereoNET has seen clear, measurable gains:
– A 40% increase in accurate regional ad delivery, leading to much better match rates and more impressions
– Improved clickthroughs and engagement across key markets
– A dramatically simplified ad management process, freeing up the team to focus on sales and strategy instead of manual placement
– Greater advertiser satisfaction, with regional partners now confident their ads are reaching the right audiences
What set the two companies apart wasn’t just the technical ability to integrate with each other—it was the willingness to collaborate. Many platforms offer geo-targeting features. Very few will jump in with a publisher, roll up their sleeves, and tailor the implementation for maximum success.
And for StereoNET, that’s what made all the difference.
“The best feedback is no feedback at all,” explains Marc Rushton, International Managing Director of StereoNET “Our advertisers now buy ad space in their region, and visitors see only the ads relevant to them. That’s exactly what we wanted.”
StereoNET now delivers region-specific ads to a global audience without friction. And their advertisers? They’re finally getting the targeting they’ve been asking for.
