ShareSquare is a platform for connecting offline audiences with the bands and brands they love, through immediate calls-to-action and rich engagement on the mobile web, with real-time analytics. Currently focused on enhancing physical and out-of-home promotions in music & entertainment, ShareSquare bridges the offline world with the mobile web. Using the self-serve CMS, artists and advertisers alike can now enhance physical collateral with a ShareSquare QR Code corresponding to a custom HTML5 mobile web app. This now makes the fan’s point of passion actionable: a concert poster, sticker, album cover, merch tag (and more) becomes a rich point of discovery. The fan can immediately experience a music video, download tracks, join mailing lists, easily connect on social networks, win prizes, and even make purchases. Real-time engagement and geo-location analytics allow the ShareSquare creator to update and optimize their campaigns on the fly.

be succinct. Segment unique offers into separate calls to action
