Podcast Audience Data Monetization Project
Centillion developed a sophisticated platform designed to help podcast creators and advertisers better understand and monetize their audience. By analyzing unique audience DNA from podcast episodes, Centillion provided granular insights into listener behaviors, demographics, and interests. This project aimed to transform each podcast episode into a rich data source, allowing creators to scale their audience reach while providing advertisers with precise targeting opportunities.
The platform extracted audience data from both past and present podcast episodes, segmenting listeners based on their behaviors, interests, and demographics. This approach allowed podcast creators to identify high-index audience segments and offer advertisers a more tailored, high-value advertising opportunity. Advertisers could then use this data to optimize their ad placements and ensure their messages reached the right audience at the right time.
Centillion’s solution also allowed for real-time ad performance tracking and the creation of bespoke audience profiles. This not only increased revenue potential for podcast creators but also provided advertisers with valuable, verifiable data about audience engagement. By using this enriched data, podcast creators were able to expand their reach and improve monetization strategies through targeted ad placements.
Uber Driver Recruitment Campaign: Reducing CPA with Data-Driven Precision
Centillion collaborated with Uber to significantly reduce the cost of driver recruitment by leveraging advanced location-based data and proprietary insights. The partnership focused on refining Uber's recruitment efforts by identifying high-demand areas where driver acquisition would be most effective. Using real-time location data, Centillion helped target geographic regions with a strong demand for Uber's services, ensuring that new drivers were placed in areas where they could immediately meet rider needs.

This reduction was achieved by focusing on areas with the highest return on investment, ensuring that new drivers were not only easier to recruit but also immediately positioned to maximize their earnings. This strategy improved recruitment efficiency and significantly enhanced Uber’s return on investment (ROI) by reducing acquisition costs while ensuring driver satisfaction and productivity.

NBA All-Star Game Player Voting Campaign for the Golden State Warriors
Centillion partnered with the Golden State Warriors to create a highly targeted digital campaign aimed at influencing fan voting for the NBA All-Star Game, ensuring the maximum number of Warriors players were selected for the All-Star team. The strategy primarily focused on leveraging Twitter targeting, using a combination of real-time analytics, audience segmentation, and hyper-local targeting to engage with NBA fans, especially those most likely to vote for Warriors players.
The campaign analyzed Twitter engagement patterns, focusing on users who frequently interacted with NBA content, Warriors-related hashtags, and players' profiles.

Centillion’s Role in the CAMARA Project: Unlocking New Revenue Streams for Telcos
Centillion has been a key contributor to the CAMARA project, a global initiative designed to open mobile network operators (MNOs) to new revenue streams through API monetization. This project, developed alongside the GSMA, aims to make MNOs’ network capabilities—such as location services, edge computing, and quality on demand—easily accessible to third-party developers, businesses, and advertisers. Centillion’s role has been instrumental in ensuring that these APIs can be seamlessly integrated into external applications, allowing telecom operators to monetize their infrastructure beyond traditional connectivity services.

This system ensures that data shared via CAMARA APIs is verifiable, privacy-compliant, and aligns with global regulations like GDPR and CCPA. This has given telecom operators more control over their data, allowing them to monetize it ethically while maintaining user trust. Centillion’s Consent Gateway has been particularly valuable in the adtech optimization space, where it has helped improve targeted advertising, reduce ad fraud, and provide better measurement of ad performance using real-time telecom data.
In addition to privacy compliance, Centillion has helped simplify the cross-network integration of CAMARA APIs, enabling developers to create applications that work across multiple telecom networks globally. By making these APIs more developer-friendly, Centillion has reduced the complexity of integrating telecom services into new applications, fostering innovation and allowing for faster deployment of services across markets. This approach not only accelerates time-to-market for new apps but also positions MNOs to play a more critical role in the growing 5G and edge computing ecosystems.
Centillion’s work on CAMARA has reshaped how telecom operators interact with developers and businesses, allowing them to generate new income from their network data and infrastructure. Through its emphasis on privacy compliance, adtech optimization, and API monetization, Centillion is helping telcos transition into key players in the digital services economy, moving beyond traditional revenue models and embracing the opportunities presented by 5G and beyond.

Bexar County Homelessness Data Project
Centillion partnered with Bexar County to tackle homelessness by implementing an innovative data-driven project. The primary objective of this initiative was to use mobile data and advanced analytics to gain insights into the movement patterns and behaviors of the homeless population. This information would allow Bexar County to make more informed decisions about where and how to allocate resources effectively. The project focused on tracking anonymized mobile devices used by homeless individuals while ensuring compliance with strict privacy regulations, thus enabling the county to better understand the needs of the community without compromising individual privacy.
The system leveraged location-based tracking to map where homeless individuals tended to gather, where they accessed essential services, and how their movement patterns shifted over time. The insights gained from this data allowed local authorities to identify high-demand areas and provide targeted interventions. Furthermore, Centillion's technology was able to differentiate between devices used by homeless individuals and those used by staff or volunteers, ensuring a higher degree of accuracy in the data collection process.
This project empowered Bexar County to allocate resources more effectively, ensuring that services were directed toward areas with the highest need. By using real-time data and maintaining full anonymization of individual identities, the project not only helped improve the efficiency of homelessness services but also maintained the dignity and privacy of the individuals it aimed to support.
