How Brilworks Helped Vugo Create a Unique
In-car Advertising Application

Founded in 2015, Vugo is the first company to develop in-car advertising for the rideshare marketplace. Headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Vugo develops highly targeted, responsive ads on billboards above vehicles for hire.

Identifying the Business Needs

Vugo reached out to us for developing an advertising platform that includes an interactive dashboard for details analytics. The objective of the project was to understand rider behavior, and the types of ads they watch while displaying user analysis with accuracy.

Understanding the Requirement

When asked to create an interactive tablet app for in-car entertainment, we were tasked with creating something that enabled both the admin as well as the rider to browse through their favorite content while being exposed to ads that would be relevant to them.

Selecting the Right Technology
