Audience targeting is a critical issue for digital marketers these days, especially with the overwhelming amount of big data that is available. Now marketers can get real-time insight into their most valuable consumers and the attributes that define them. With this intelligence, it is now possible to grow business through efficient targeting and ad spend. It is critical to understand what tactics marketers are currently using to target their audiences so we can figure out what’s working and what isn’t. Join eXelate as they present the findings from their joint survey with Digiday that asked hundreds of digital advertisers and agencies how they’re winning with audience targeting.

A survey of more than 650 digital marketing and media professionals was conducted in March-April 2013 on current attitudes and practices regarding audience targeting, as well as their data strategies and challenges. Participants were contacted via e-mail and asked to take an online survey. Participants were first asked to identify themselves as Brand Marketers, Agencies, or Networks/Exchanges/DSPs. Each participant was then presented with questions about their approach to audience targeting specific to that classification. Results were then summarized and cross-tabbed, in order to identify consistencies or inconsistencies in each constituents’ viewpoints and practices, as well as opportunities to raise the bar for the industry. A synopsis of those results is introduced in this presentation.
