  • Publication number: 20220007068
    Abstract: A method of targeting of advertising content for a consumer product is disclosed. The method comprises obtaining consumer demographic data from a first server over a network, the consumer demographic data including a plurality of demographic attributes for each person among a plurality of persons; obtaining product purchaser data for a plurality of product purchasers of the consumer product from a second server over the network, each product purchaser among the plurality of product purchasers being among the plurality of persons; and enriching the purchaser data with the consumer demographic data. The method further comprises enriching viewing data with consumer demographic data; and selecting viewed media among the aggregated viewed media having the highest similarity to the product purchasers as target media for the advertising content.

  • Publication number: 20210357976
    Abstract: This paper presents a practical method for measuring the impact of multiple marketing events on sales, including marketing events that are not traditionally trackable. The technique infers which of several competing media events are likely to have caused a given conversion. The method is tested using hold-out sets, and also a live media experiment for determining whether the method can accurately predict television-generated web conversions.

  • Patent number: 11144936
    Abstract: A processing device selects a population of persons and measures sales metrics from the population over a time period and measures an advertising weight over the time period. The processing device determines an effect that the advertising weight has on the sales metrics and additionally calculates values for a degree of targetedness for the advertisement to the population of persons. The processing device determines an effect that the degree of targetedness has on the sales metrics and generates a multi-dimensional model that measures the combined effects of the advertising weight and the degree of targetedness on the sales metrics.

  • Patent number: 11051060
    Abstract: A processing device receives set-top box data, sales data, and advertising data. The processing device associates set-top boxes from the set-top box data with viewers and calculates advertising exposure events for advertisements. The processing device further calculates, for each viewer, an advertising weight as a function of number of exposures of the advertisement as applied to the viewer based on the advertising exposure events. The processing device further calculates, for each viewer, a score representing a degree-of-targetedness between an advertisement campaign and the viewer. The processing device manages the advertisement campaign based on the advertising weight and the degree-of-targetedness.

  • Publication number: 20210168466
    Abstract: Television is the largest advertising category in the United States with over 65 billion spent by advertisers per year. A variety of different targeting algorithms are compared, ranging from the traditional age-gender targeting methods employed based on Nielsen ratings, to new approaches that attempt to target high probability buyers using Set Top Box data. The performance of these different algorithms on a real television campaign is shown, and the advantages and limitations of each method are discussed. In contrast to other theoretical work, all methods presented herein are compatible with targeting the existing 115 million Television households in the United States and are implementable on current television delivery systems.
