  • Publication number: 20260289599
    Abstract: In example aspects, an audience management platform is described in which targeted audience segments are pre-aggregated. Audiences may be defined based on a criteria for membership in the audience, with audience members being determined from among an eligible audience population. The criteria may be defined by predicted behavior as determined by one or more behavioral models, optionally in combination with other deterministic criteria. Individual audience segments associated with each criterium may be created and audiences formed from those audience segments. Pre-populated audience memberships, or audience segment memberships enable quick formation of custom audiences and exposure to consumers of audience definitions of the size of a given audience. Audiences are maintained according to defined update frequencies.
