Data is the source material for ad targeting. Programmatic is fueled by vast amounts of data that determines whether to show someone an ad.

Check the right boxes, and people are matched with appropriate content. It’s called “buying audiences.”

Ad tech can be a window into audience segmentation, which is a huge untapped value. And that means the research opportunities to drive more informed ad buys and audience segmentation are endless.

You just have to ask.
