Systems and methods for creation, management and delivery of targeted marketing campaigns to a consumer based on a consumer'"'"'s social check-in activity as identified by a consumer on one or more location based social networks. In one embodiment, a campaign management system receives information relating to a consumer'"'"'s social check-in activity from various (heterogeneous) location based social networks in a wide variety of formats, and further normalizes such disparate information received into a standardized format. According to an aspect, the system processes the normalized information in conjunction with pre-stored marketing campaigns created by marketers for purposes of identifying consumers who satisfy one or more conditions specific to the pre-stored marketing campaigns. Campaign-related information corresponding to the pre-stored marketing campaigns generally comprise various promotional offers, discounts, coupons, etc., which are delivered to the identified consumers, who initiate some kind of action thereby fulfilling the marketing campaign.
