This is why we partnered with AudienceProject – to learn how to can gain more insights into how we can optimise media to reduce complexity and increase results for our clients.

What challenges do you see in the industry?

We see the fragmented media landscape as a major challenge, making it increasingly difficult to measure campaigns across channels. AudienceProject allows us to do that, helping us get a complete overview of our campaigns’ on AudienceProject’s supported channels.

With AudienceProject, we can get insights into how well we are reaching our target audiences across channels and derive valuable learnings.

Particularly, we find AudienceProject’s approach to combining online channels with ATV or CTV interesting, as digital TV is still very fragmented and hard to measure. With AudienceProject, we can get insights into how well we are reaching our target audiences across these channels and derive valuable learnings.

What is important to us is exploring possibilities and finding solutions to the industry’s challenges by diving deeper into the data we gather and taking action on those. Learning from previous campaigns to gain knowledge for planning future campaigns is essential to us.

How do campaign insights support your planning of future campaigns?

Overall, we want to understand how many people we are reaching with our campaigns and which channels. Also, we are interested in learning about the size of our target audiences and how it changes if you adjust the demographics of the campaign.

By understanding which channels are most effective at reaching our target audiences, we are able to share these insights with our clients to increase transparency on the results that we gained.

Some of our clients target segments interested in fashion or consumer goods, making it fundamental to know how many people in these target audiences are reached on different channels. Based on those insights, we can optimise the media mix to reach these custom audiences more effectively.
