In a time of dramatic changes, advertisers are course-correcting targeting efforts to adhere to the ever-evolving digital media landscape.

However, to succeed with this method, brands must seek partners with advanced capabilities to ensure the most substantial campaign outcomes and guarantee a leg up on the competition.
A key ingredient to the best use of contextual targeting for advertisers is machine learning. Proprietary machine learning technology precisely categorizes content at scale, combined with media performance-optimization, brand-safe and quality environments — all critical components for combatting advertisers’ pain-points.
The value proposition of machine learning for advertisers
To appreciate the synergy of contextual targeting and machine learning, it’s helpful to put a lens on recent history. Advertisers moved away from contextual once audience tracking entered the scene, but the present-day resurgence can be attributed in part to consumers and a growing concern for how personal data is being used.
“Consumers are more conscious of how their data is being stored, however, 74 percent still want to see ads that match page content,” says Bichoï Bastha, Chief Business Officer at Dailymotion. “Contextual targeting is the answer to this.
