In an exclusive interview with Rajiv Raghunath of Outdoor Asia, he says the measurement system will become more refined and multi-layered as it gains wider acceptance.

Monster Media created a social application that was displayed on a huge Times Square digital billboard at 1568 Broadway on 47th Street. The campaign encouraged viewers to pledge via Twitter using #CirocTheNewYear. Each pledge received then unlocked $100 in safe rides from Uber, with a maximum total of $1,000,000 in free rides. The pledges were filtered to ensure the users were of the right age to participate. Selected messages were then displayed on the digital billboard and all users with an approved message received a photo of their message on the billboard via Twitter.
