- 1. Whether you’re running a branding campaign or using other upper-funnel tactics, you want to attract as many high-quality prospects as possible in order to meet your campaign goals. And it’s common to use third-party behavioral data to help you identify the right audiences. But your campaign may not be achieving all that it can. Do you know if you’re reaching all the consumers you need to meet—or exceed—your goals? And how can you reach more prospects than your competitors if they use identical data to bid on the same audiences? Turn gives you the tools you need to outpace the competition by using predictive targeting, a powerful alternative to using behavioral data alone. Standard behavioral segments can be limited, because they may use just a few variables to analyze past consumer actions. Turn predictive targeting uses more than 2000 variables, with powerful algorithms that analyze both past and current actions to let you reach unique audiences that your competitors can’t even begin to find. This competitive advantage makes it easier to meet—or even exceed—your campaign goals. Predictive Targeting Drives Competitive Advantage and ROI Predictive targeting lets you use Turn Digital Hub to discover and reach more of your desired audiences, improve response rates, reduce your CPM, and automatically optimize your campaign budget—which ultimately produces better ROI for your campaigns.
