Relevancy through Targeting and Data

The main unit of currency for online advertising is data.

Whatever kind of targeting – geographic, demographic, behavioural - it’s all smart, it’s all

personal, and it’s all relevant. There’s no downside to any type of targeting, unless it

doesn’t work.

People hold online to a higher standard for measurement but it truly is the most

effective way to reach an audience.

Behavioural Targeting

Enhanced BT

The ability to account for the intensity and recency of the user’s activity

We can look at more than just past behaviors

› What you’re doing right now is a stronger indicator of real interest

› How often and how recently you searched, clicked or viewed will be taken into account

› Purchase cycles are noted to develop these timeliness, with recent activities carrying more weight

Behavioural Targeting allows you to target your ads to consumers whose recent behaviours online indicate that your product category is relevant

to them

Data Inputs

Recency & Intensity

Active now… …and with feeling

While past behaviors factor into long term purchasing plans, what you’re doing right now is a stronger indicator of real interest. So

activities are noted for timeliness, with recent activities carrying more weight.

Audience targeting is about getting your message in front of

a precise audience. It works because it has relevance at its

heart.

Increase your success by:

Reaching your audience in an environment and at a time that is relevant and carefully defined.

Aligning your advertising messages with your audience’s passions and interests.

Consumers will look at personally relevant ads for 25

percent longer than ads that are not personally relevant to them.
