Understanding Audience Intent Consumption with AI

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a game-changer in the world of advertising especially when it comes to analysing vast amounts of information and extracting meaningful insights to help identify & understand the target audience better.

AI-powered tools can help advertisers to analyze consumer behaviour patterns, purchasing habits, social media interactions, and online content consumption to uncover valuable information about consumer preferences and sentiments. By leveraging this technology, brands can gain a deeper understanding of their target market, identify emerging trends, and refine their brand values accordingly.

Furthermore, AI algorithms can spot trends and connections in consumer data, which helps businesses match their brand values with what their audience wants. This analysis helps brands create messages, designs, and marketing plans that really connect with their target customers.

Crafting Compelling Brand Stories Using Generative AI

Mirrors Generative AI is a contextual planning tool designed by Silverpush to help advertisers reach their overlooked and untapped audience in the cookieless era. Its real power lies in its ability to seamlessly integrate AI as a co-pilot to human intelligence. The advanced technology builds a comprehensive context list, well aligned with the audience’s personas and their direct and alternate interests. This enables advertisers to reach untapped/overlooked yet relevant audiences, resulting in enhancing incremental reach.

How does Mirrors Generative AI Understand Audience Intentions and Content Consumption Patterns?

1. Scanning Across the Internet

Every time a consumer goes online, they express their intent in countless ways. From the content they read, what they search for, the type of device they access it on, and the time of day.

The technology scans web pages, surveys, and a wide range of content on the open web, examining each word with precision. This enables Mirrors Generative AI to uncover content consumption patterns, decipher meaning, and extract valuable insights that surpass surface-level understanding.

Mirrors Generative AI suggested personas and content themes are delivered through machine learning and constantly verified using up-to-date panel data. They are robust, trustworthy, and completely free from human bias.

2. Predictive Audience Insights

Mirrors Generative AI doesn’t stop at understanding and personalizing content; it can also predict audience behaviour. By analyzing large datasets, AI models can identify patterns and trends that human analysts might miss. This allows advertisers to anticipate changes in user behaviour and adjust their strategies accordingly.

For example, if the AI predicts that a certain segment of the audience is likely to show increased interest in fitness products during the summer months, advertisers can proactively target that segment with relevant campaigns.

3. Mapping Audience Personas to Contextual Intelligence

It identifies patterns and correlations between audience personas and contextual factors, to uncover commonalities, preferences, and behaviours within specific contexts. This mapping exercise determines personas are likely to respond favourably to specific contextual elements. Achieving high engagement relies on targeting diverse audience personas with their specific interests in the right moment and context. However, advertisers still rely on manual context-building methods, which, despite their partial success, have several limitations.

Conclusion

Finding new target audiences can feel a lot like searching for a needle in a haystack. But, through Mirrors Generative AI, advertisers can identify net new audiences across hundreds of millions of potential consumers. Generative AI is a look ahead of the fast-paced evolution of technology, helping audience discovery using different models to reinvent the way work is done.

Silverpush ensures that brand advertisements are displayed on brand-safe content without over blocking their reach.

In an age where consumers increasingly choose to watch videos on demand, YouTube has become the most popular video platform worldwide. 

According to a survey done on YouTube, there are 2.1 billion YouTube users worldwide and around 500M hours of video content is uploaded to the video platform every minute.

The video giant has become the leading online destination for millions of users from around the world. YouTube has 81% reach in the United States, and its mobile versions are doing equally well abroad.

As we can witness an increasing number of consumers shifting to the digital sphere, the necessity to maintain brand safety and suitability on YouTube has also risen.

YouTube advertisers demand campaigns that are not only safe and suitable but those that perform well. 

Unfortunately, often it happens that the measures they’re taking for safety and suitability are so restrictive that the good content along with the bad gets blocked from the ads getting displayed on it. This affects both scale and ad performance negatively. 

This blog is for every agency, advertiser, or publisher who is on the lookout for best practices to ensure brand suitability on YouTube at every stage of their ad campaign.

Demand for Brand Safety and Suitability Worldwide

37% of media agencies believe that without brand suitability measures, ads may serve in unsafe contexts.

Brand safety and company suitability are always changing and play an important part in sustaining a brand’s reputation in the digital advertising sphere.

Brand safety policies have been highlighted by digital marketers, agencies, and media alike. This is critical if you do not want to lose clients as a result of poor brand alignment.

Even after spending millions of dollars on advertising, any company would not want to mix fake news with genuine digital advertising.

During the COVID-19 times, the industry has seen an inclination toward brand suitability. Customers demand more from brands and want more control and confidence in the solutions they use.

Brand suitability bridges the risk-opportunity gap by enabling digital marketers to target safe, acceptable, and brand-building material using context-based restrictions.

Challenges Faced with Brand Safety and Suitability on YouTube

Brand safety is concerned with preventing the loss of trust between a brand and a customer. This is because, without trust, income, brand equity, and consumer interests are lowered or eliminated.

The solution to this challenge is a transparent digital advertising brand safety vendor relationship.

Advertisers must understand that the brand safety approach used for their digital advertising initiatives works at the speed of culture. 

This can help in absorbing new issues as they arise, and does not over-block information or allow unsafe/unsuitable content to pass through.

This happens mostly during keyword blocking and domain-level allow and blocklisting. Many keywords with varied meanings and URL domains that store information on a wide range of topics are shelved as a result of over-blocking.

Many businesses fail to implement brand suitability successfully owing to an inability to identify a holistic solution.

According to a recent survey, 49% of marketers have experienced brand suitability failure, 54% have faced customer antagonism, and 44% have lost money as a result.

To make your brand stand apart during holiday shopping and the mega sales days, they need to invest in the right combination of planning, strategy, personalization and technology.

• Reach customers early: Take advantage of cost-efficient impressions early to reach shoppers early this holiday season. Be on the top of mind with shoppers.
• Maximize purchases: Build a momentum for your brand and maximize purchases when purchasing is at its peak.
• Be on their mind: Stay on top of mind and drive loyalty with your newly acquired customers.

Holiday Shopping Starts Much Earlier

With the rise of ecommerce, the number of online shoppers worldwide is also increasing with it. In 2021, the number of digital buyers is at 2.14 billion. This means that 27.6 percent of 7.74 billion people in the world were shopping online.

More than one out of every four people does online shopping.

Moving money via the internet is no longer reserved for traders and investors. Anyone and everyone who has access to it is now able to send money online.

People are exploring and cataloging ideas for their holiday shopping much earlier than you are expecting. It is surprising to know that not weeks, but months before the craze for holiday season begins. This revelation is essential for every business – understand if people are planning their shopping earlier, you need to plan your marketing much earlier to keep up with the pace of your customers. Don’t wait for the season to just begin or your promotions will be left in the dust.

Reach Your Most Enthusiastic Customers 

Connect with the household CEOs – a broader audience that purchases and spends the most. Get in touch with them first and you have higher chance to be their first choice for shopping.

Who Spends the Most Online?

When you connect with the early planners, you connect with the household CEOs – a larger audience that purchases and spends more. Get in touch with them first and you have the chance to be their first choice for shopping.

Who is Spending the Most?

Younger shoppers are more likely to increase their shopping budget than their older counterparts, but will spend the lowest proportion (63%) online. 

Even though marketers and businesses have prioritized these planner-type shoppers, however they often make assumptions about the timings of their promotions.

Realize that customers will not wait around – in fact, they have started earlier than ever. 46% of consumers surveyed by the National Retail Federation already started their shopping earlier than ever. In the early November survey, 61% consumers said that they already started shopping for the holiday.  Shockingly, more than one-quarter completes their total holiday shopping by early November.

What Changed the Consumers Behavior?

Some may start their shopping earlier in the year to help budget their purchases instead of spending a big sum all at once. This is a continuing trend since the 2021 holiday season, when consumers start their holiday shopping earlier than ever due to growing supply chain and issues during shopping. The shopping concerns are compounding due to growing interest rates and overall inflation.

There are other emotional reasons too as to why shoppers are starting earlier than anticipated. People nowadays crave the comfort of the holidays after a tough year. What was once more like a chore, now feels special – meeting family members, having good food, the excitement of opening and exchanging gifts – all these have taken a new meaning. Consumers now look forward to holiday season more than ever, and that’s what motivates them to buy earlier.
