Behavioral Targeting

There are more options online for consumers to choose from than ever before. But rather than this manifesting as any kind of “paralysis of choice” or panicked rush to purchase, consumer journeys are actually becoming longer and more researched. More people are starting with careful consideration, comparison, and in-depth research of prices and brands. They make more site visits and spend more time weighing their options before transacting, creating a “messy middle” between consideration and purchase that has significant implications for merchants.

Digital media moves quickly, and consumer behavior moves with it. The businesses keeping pace are increasingly the ones working with an AdTech company, a specialist vendor that builds the technology behind modern online advertising. In this article, we look at what these companies actually do, how artificial intelligence and in particular, Deep Learning have reshaped the field, and what brands should consider when choosing a partner.
