How it works
Step 1: Define your target audience.
We’ll help you create standard or customized target groups based on data from surveys, socio-demographics, purchase behavior or future purchase probability, media usage, campaign exposure, and much, much more.
Step 3. Target your ads.
With rich data about your segments, you can build highly targeted ads that increase your reach/frequency, expand your campaigns to new (digital or linear channels), drive loyalty, persuade buyers of competitve brands, and more.
Step 2. Transfer and extrapolate
GfK data is matched with your internal or a 3rd party data based on deterministic identifiers. A seed audience is extrapolated to relevant lookalike audience, which are then pushed to open web or walled gardens through DSPs / Publishers.
Step 4. Evaluate your success.
After each campaign, you can measure results and further enrich your segment data based on consumers’ engagement with prior campaigns so that your targeting becomes more accurate with each iteration.
