Audience Segmentation
Transform Broad Audiences into Meaningful Customer Groups
Different customers have different needs, interests, behaviors, purchase intentions, and relationships with a brand.
Audience Segmentation helps organizations divide broader audiences into strategically meaningful groups so advertising can become more relevant and efficient.
Brand Messenger can develop audience segments based on appropriate available information such as:
⦁ Customer Behavior
⦁ Demographics
⦁ Interests
⦁ Geographic Location
⦁ Customer Lifecycle
⦁ Purchase Activity
⦁ Website Engagement
⦁ Product Interests
⦁ Previous Campaign Engagement
⦁ Customer Value
⦁ Brand Interaction
⦁ Conversion Activity
⦁ First-Party Customer Data
⦁ Campaign Objectives
Rather than communicating with every customer in the same way, segmentation creates the foundation for more relevant targeting, creative personalization, media selection, and campaign optimization.
Behavioral Targeting
Reach Audiences Based on Actions and Engagement
What customers do can provide valuable signals about what they may be interested in.
Behavioral Targeting uses available behavioral and engagement signals to help identify audiences whose actions indicate potential relevance to a campaign.
Depending on the advertising environment and available consented data, behavioral targeting strategies can consider signals such as:
⦁ Website Visits
⦁ Page Engagement
⦁ Product Views
⦁ Content Interaction
⦁ Previous Purchases
⦁ Advertising Engagement
⦁ Search Activity
⦁ Cart Activity
⦁ Campaign Responses
⦁ App Engagement
⦁ Repeat Visits
⦁ Customer Journey Activity
⦁ Conversion History
Brand Messenger uses these insights to help develop more relevant advertising audiences and improve campaign efficiency.
Contextual Targeting
Place Advertising Where the Content Makes Sense
Contextual Targeting focuses on the environment in which an advertisement appears rather than relying only on information about an individual user.
Brand Messenger can develop contextual advertising strategies that align advertisements with relevant:
⦁ Website Content
⦁ Article Topics
⦁ Content Categories
⦁ Keywords
⦁ Industry Subjects
⦁ Videos
⦁ Digital Publications
⦁ Apps
⦁ Media Environments
⦁ Brand-Relevant Themes
For example, a travel campaign may appear alongside travel-related content, while technology advertising may be placed within relevant business or technology environments.
Contextual targeting can help advertisers improve relevance while supporting advertising strategies that rely less heavily on individual-level audience data.
Demographic Targeting
Align Advertising with Relevant Audience Profiles
Demographic information can help organizations understand which broad population groups are most relevant to their products, services, campaigns, and communication objectives.
Where appropriate data and platform capabilities are available, Brand Messenger can develop demographic targeting strategies based on factors such as:
⦁ Age Groups
⦁ Gender
⦁ Household Characteristics
⦁ Education
⦁ Occupation
⦁ Professional Role
⦁ Business Sector
⦁ Income or Affluence Indicators
⦁ Family or Life-Stage Characteristics
⦁ Other Platform-Supported Demographic Categories
Demographic targeting can be combined with behavioral, contextual, geographic, interest, and other audience strategies to develop more focused advertising campaigns.
Interest-Based Targeting
Connect Brands with Audiences Around What Matters to Them
Customer interests can provide valuable indicators of potential advertising relevance.
Brand Messenger develops Interest-Based Targeting strategies that help advertisers connect campaigns with audiences associated with relevant subjects, products, activities, lifestyles, or content categories.
Depending on the platform and available audience signals, interest categories may include areas such as:
⦁ Technology
⦁ Business
⦁ Finance
⦁ Travel
⦁ Automotive
⦁ Entertainment
⦁ Sports
⦁ Fashion
⦁ Food
⦁ Health & Wellness
⦁ Education
⦁ Gaming
⦁ Property
⦁ Lifestyle
⦁ Professional Interests
Interest-based targeting can help brands discover audiences beyond their existing customer databases while maintaining stronger relevance than broad untargeted advertising.
Geographic Targeting
Make Advertising Relevant to Markets and Locations
Not every campaign needs to reach everyone, everywhere.
Geographic Targeting allows advertising strategies to focus on selected markets according to campaign objectives and supported platform capabilities.
Campaigns can potentially be structured around:
⦁ Countries
⦁ Regions
⦁ States or Provinces
⦁ Cities
⦁ Metropolitan Areas
⦁ Selected Local Markets
⦁ Business Territories
⦁ Service Areas
⦁ Retail Markets
⦁ Campaign Regions
This can be particularly valuable for multi-location businesses, retailers, hospitality companies, property businesses, events, franchises, regional campaigns, and organizations entering new markets.
Location-Based Advertising
Connect Advertising with Relevant Places and Local Opportunities
Location-Based Advertising takes geographic strategy further by using supported location signals or defined geographic areas to make advertising more relevant to where audiences are located.
Depending on available technology, permissions, and advertising platforms, location-based strategies can support campaigns around:
⦁ Retail Locations
⦁ Shopping Areas
⦁ Event Venues
⦁ Exhibition Centers
⦁ Business Districts
⦁ Hospitality Locations
⦁ Tourist Destinations
⦁ Entertainment Venues
⦁ Service Areas
⦁ Selected Geographic Zones
⦁ Local Market Campaigns
Brand Messenger can combine location strategy with audience segmentation, campaign creative, media buying, and performance measurement to develop locally relevant advertising experiences.
Lookalike Audience Targeting
Discover New Audiences Similar to Valuable Customers
A brand's existing customers can provide a useful foundation for discovering new potential audiences.
Where supported by the advertising platform and appropriate source data, Lookalike Audience Targeting can help identify broader groups that share selected characteristics or behavioral patterns with existing customer or conversion audiences.

⦁ Qualified Leads
⦁ Product Purchasers

Brand Messenger can use lookalike strategies as part of broader customer acquisition and audience expansion campaigns.

Subject to appropriate consent, platform requirements, and privacy controls, Custom Audience strategies can help organizations activate eligible first-party audiences across supported advertising platforms.

These audiences can support customer retention, re-engagement, cross-sell, upsell, product launches, promotions, and customer acquisition strategies.
Predictive Audience Targeting
Move from Historical Targeting to Future Opportunity
Traditional audience targeting often focuses on what customers have already done.
Predictive Audience Targeting goes further by using analytical models and available campaign/customer signals to help identify audiences that may have a greater likelihood of taking a desired future action.
Predictive intelligence can support analysis around:

Cross-Device Targeting
Create More Connected Advertising Experiences Across Devices
Customers frequently move between smartphones, tablets, desktops, apps, connected televisions, and other digital environments.
Cross-Device Targeting helps advertisers coordinate audience strategies across supported devices and platforms so campaigns can provide more consistent advertising experiences.
Cross-device strategies can support:
⦁ Desktop Advertising
⦁ Mobile Advertising
⦁ Tablet Advertising
⦁ App Advertising
⦁ Video Advertising
