DESCRIPTION

Audience targeting is a critical issue for digital marketers these days, especially with the overwhelming amount of big data that is available. Now marketers can get real-time insight into their most valuable consumers and the attributes that define them. With this intelligence, it is now possible to grow business through efficient targeting and ad spend. It is critical to understand what tactics marketers are currently using to target their audiences so we can figure out what’s working and what isn’t. Join eXelate as they present the findings from their joint survey with Digiday that asked hundreds of digital advertisers and agencies how they’re winning with audience targeting.
