Third-party targeting suffers from high costs and inaccuracies.         

Reaching the right target audience through media like CTV is a challenge for advertisers. And although third-party targeting remains a primary solution for some, it results in high fees that damage performance.    

 

A new approach to targeting.      

It's time for advertisers to shift away from traditional targeting methods that rely heavily on third-party data and embrace new, more effective approaches. Here’s why: 

1. High Costs: Using third-party data often leads to higher costs, regardless of how precise the targeting is. 
2. Data Inaccuracy: Third-party data is known for some level of inaccuracy. First-party data and machine learning help target the right people.
3. AI: Advertisers are now exploring AI for new targeting solutions. For example, machine learning can purchase content based on its ability to convert prospects.  

Targeting methods beyond third-party data can streamline costs and maximize campaign performance by homing in on the audiences that matter most. Listen in on our discussion.
