Contextual Targeting

Contextual targeting might not be a new, flashy approach, but with the shift towards privacy-friendly cookieless advertising, it’s about to become a crucial part of every advertiser’s outreach strategy. As Google retires third-party cookies, old methods of targeting will become ineffective, and the ability to target interested users through more subtle markets, like content context, will be one of the keys to marketing success.

When we think about data in the modern world, our thoughts often land upon the famous line from the Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner, “Water, water, everywhere, but not a drop to drink.” Just as ancient sailors could be surrounded by undrinkable ocean water, today we’re drowning in so much data that it can become impossible to leverage its power. Well, it’s impossible without the right tools in any case. As the amount of data we collect has grown, we’ve developed tools that can help us analyze this information and turn it into something useful. The most powerful of these tools is undoubtedly Deep Learning. To understand why, let’s take a look at some of the top Deep Learning applications.

Why is it worth diversifying strategies and reaching for both contextual and behavioral targeting? What will the cookieless future bring?
