Abstract: Described herein is a system and method of ad targeting that automatically matches advertisements to media based on the demographic signatures of each. The method and system include calculating a match score between historical buyer demographics and media demographics. Media which is similar to the demographic of the product buyers is targeted for advertising.

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.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for targeting of advertising content for a consumer product, by obtaining consumer demographic data, the consumer demographic data including a plurality of demographic attributes for each person; identifying a plurality of media slots; and obtaining program information for a respective identified program aired in each media slot among the plurality of media slots, the program information including viewing data of a plurality of viewing persons viewing the program and each viewing person being among the plurality of persons.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that measure web activity bursts after ad broadcasts that may be sent to multiple persons. One system uses a cookie-less/cookie-optional, anonymous/personal-identification-not-required, method for web-based conversion tracking that will work on broadcast media systems such as television, and could also be applied to measuring spikes from email, radio, and other forms of advertising where an episodic ad event is broadcast to multiple parties, and where responses occur in a batch after the broadcast.

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.

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.

Abstract: A processing device tracks sales metrics during an advertisement campaign for a product or service and compares the sales metrics to sales goals. In response to determining that the one or more sales metrics fall short of the one or more sales goals by at least a threshold amount, the processing device increases a degree of targetedness for the advertisement campaign. In response to determining that the one or more sales metrics surpass the one or more sales goals by at least the threshold amount, the processing device decreases the degree of targetedness for the advertisement campaign.

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.

Abstract: A processing device selects a local sub-population that matches a national population based on a fitness function. During a national advertisement campaign, the processing device introduces a local advertisement campaign to a treatment group comprising the local sub-population, wherein the local advertisement campaign mirrors the national advertisement campaign. The processing device measures sales of a product or service in a control group and in the treatment group, and calculates a difference in sales metrics between the treatment group and the control group. The difference is used to estimate an effect on national sales metrics due to the national campaign.

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.
