Mobiquity Networks Delivers
Results for Advertisers With Successful Holiday Campaigns
Commercial Holiday Shopping Season Campaign Activations
Achieved Up to 40% Drive-to-Store Conversion for Top Mall Retailers and Entertainment Advertisers
GARDEN CITY, N.Y., February 23, 2016 -- Mobiquity Networks,
the largest network of retail mall-based mobile advertising beacons in the United States and a wholly owned subsidiary of Mobiquity
Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: MOBQ), today announced results from a series of paid holiday season campaigns that have exceeded expectations.
Mobiquity Networks brings high-precision proximity marketing
to in-mall retailers and brands as a turn-key advertising solution. Over the most recent holiday shopping season the company executed
numerous mobile campaigns for top national retailers and a number of new movie releases.
The campaigns were designed to influence in-mall shopper traffic
and to utilize the unique traffic measurement capability of the Mobiquity network to directly quantify campaign success. In this
case, success was defined as “driving the customer to the store” according to Mobiquity Networks co-CEO, Dean Julia.
The in-mall mobile engagements were delivered via Mobiquity Networks’ leading retail-focused app publisher network. The results
were impressive – depending upon the campaign, no less than 25% and as many as 40% of the shoppers who received the campaigns
in mall common areas delivered on the Drive-to-Store campaign metric.
“The results of these campaigns
are beyond our expectations, and deliver a true testament to the value of being able to reach consumers when they are actively
shopping and uniquely positioned to act on the delivered message,” said Dean Julia, co-CEO of Mobiquity Networks.
“It’s gratifying to be able to drive such strong results for our advertising clients,
and we’re looking forward to working with our clients and their agencies to further optimize follow-on campaigns. These results
highlight that we’ve just begun to scratch the surface of high-precision proximity advertising at scale.”
Mobiquity Networks’ real-world campaign findings support
recent survey results reported by emarketer.com. According to the article, “Accenture surveyed
10,096 adult smartphone users worldwide, who shopped both digitally and in-store in the past 3 months. Nearly half of smartphone
users worldwide said they can’t wait to receive real-time promotions from retailers on their smartphone device.”
Mobiquity Networks has exclusive agreements in 475+ premier
shopping malls and 300 movie theaters in the U.S to operate its beacon-triggered mobile ad network. The ad network footprint represents
400 million monthly mall visits and provides advertisers with the opportunity to deliver targeted marketing messages to shoppers
at precisely the right place and time - just as they are deciding which retailers to visit and what brands to buy.

Exhibit 99.2
Mobiquity Networks Announces
Compliance with Google’s Latest Eddystone Beacon for Chrome
Advertisers and Brands Can Deliver Proximity-Based Campaigns
to Any Mobile Device Via Google Chrome or iOS Apps, Triggered by Physical Surroundings
GARDEN CITY, N.Y., February 18, 2016 -- Mobiquity Networks,
the largest network of retail mall-based mobile advertising beacons in the United States and a wholly owned subsidiary of Mobiquity
Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: MOBQ), announced today that its beacons are now compliant with Google’s latest Eddystone protocol
for Chrome.
Mobiquity Networks is bringing the "physical web"
to retailers and brands as a turn-key advertising solution. The company will expand the scope of the physical web through its strategic
partnerships with premier shopping malls, cinema theaters and publishers so advertisers can quickly scale and turn millions of
beacon sightings into advertiser-friendly marketing events. The significance of Mobiquity Networks’ Eddystone beacon compliance
is that retailers and advertisers can now engage any mobile device with Google’s Chrome browser installed -- in addition
to engaging retailer or other relevant shopping apps.
“Traditional beacon companies
build platforms to manage beacon hardware, but at Mobiquity Networks we have also added our turn-key proximity marketing platform
on top. Our campaign platform takes beacon location information and turns it into actionable marketing events that can be utilized
by the world’s largest advertisers,” said Dean Julia, co-CEO of Mobiquity Networks. “This
additional layer, plus the massive scale of our beacon footprint in the U.S., is our unique advantage and is at the core of Mobiquity’s
value.”
Mobiquity Networks has exclusive agreements in 475+ premier
shopping malls and 300 movie theaters in the U.S to operate its beacon-triggered mobile ad network. The ad network footprint represents
400 million mall shoppers monthly and provides advertisers with the opportunity to deliver targeted marketing messages to shoppers
at precisely the right place and time - just as they are deciding which retailers to visit and what brands to buy.
Mobiquity Networks’ beacons will have the ability to broadcast
in both iBeacon (Apple) and Eddystone (Google) simultaneously.
