What is a predictive score?
A predictive score is a value that is assigned through machine learning to determine whether an ad should be served to a user. Through data analysis, the platform predicts the likelihood of a successful outcome and assigned a predictive score for each impression. If the predictive score meets or exceeds a 90% probability of success, then the ad is served.
Is outcome-based media similar to look alike audiences?
Outcome-based media focuses on achieving specific outcomes by leveraging machine learning and predictive analytics. This approach does not rely on sensitive personal information or cookie-based retargeting, making it privacy-forward and compliant with various regulations. Look alike audiences, on the other hand, are created by identifying characteristics of an existing customer and finds new customers who share similar traits. Look alike audiences typically uses data such as demographics, interests and behaviours to expand the reach to new users.
Everyone is now using AI to optimize their platforms – What makes AdTheorent different?
AdTheorent differentiates itself through its commitment to a privacy-first approach, utilizing machine learning to analyze data without relying on sensitive personal information or cookies. The platform utilizes predictive scoring to evaluate millions of ad impressions in real-time, allowing it to serve ads only when the likelihood of achieving a successful outcome exceeds 90%. Additionally, AdTheorent builds custom models for each campaign, ensuring that the data parameters are tailored to maximize effectiveness while maintaining compliance with privacy regulations. The unique combination of real-time data
analysis, predictive technology and a focus on measurable outcomes sets AdTheorent apart from competitors that may prioritize audience reach over performance.
What’s the difference between predictive media and Google’s performance max platform?
Predictive media uses real-time signals and custom model building for each campaign and its focus is on predictive scoring rather than traditional audience targeting. AdTheorent’s approach is more tailored and privacy conscious, while still aiming to deliver strong performance outcomes.

What role does programmatic typically play in an omnichannel media mix?
Programmatic ads are typically a top of funnel or awareness channel and plays the role of filling the marketing funnel with quality traffic. However, AdTheorent’s platform can be effective throughout the entire marketing funnel. AdTheorent uses advanced machine learning and predictive scoring to evaluate the likelihood of achieving specific campaign outcomes. This allows for precise targeting and optimization based on real-time data, focusing on driving actionable goals and conversions. The platform’s ability to create ID-independent audiences and utilize real-time signals ensures that ads are served to users with the highest likelihood of converting, thus supporting performance-driven objectives beyond awareness.
How do you address ad fraud?
Ad fraud is addressed through a strategy that combined advanced machine learning, real-time data analysis and third-party verification. AdTheorent continuously analyzes inventory signals to identify and remove low-performing publishers and Made for Advertising (MFA) properties. The platform’s anti-fraud infrastructure detects fraudulent activity before an impression is served across all campaigns and devices. This includes the use of DoubleVerify for pre-bid invalid traffic (IVT) filtering and post-bid monitoring. This multi-layered approach ensures that ad fraud is minimized and campaign performance is maximized.
What’s the difference between 3P audiences and the RTS models?
While 3P audiences rely on pre-collected, static data to define audience segments, RTS models utilize dynamic, real-time data signals and machine learning to predict the likelihood of a successful outcome. This approach allows RTS models to adapt continuously, focusing on driving specific campaign outcomes rather than reaching predefined groups. Additionally, unlike 3P audiences, RTS models are designed to be privacy-forward, avoiding the use of sensitive personal information or cookie-based retargeting.
What are your benchmarks for programmatic display?
The 2023 benchmarks are 0.30% CTR for display and 20.86% Engagement Rate (ER) for rich media.
How do you measure campaign success?
Utilizing client’s previous results as our benchmark, we work towards meeting that initial goal. As the algorithm learns more about the audience, we then work towards exceeding that goal and then compare those results to previous months.
Is the platform self-serve or managed by AdTheorent?
AdTheorent is well-positioned for a post-cookie world, as its core functionality does not rely on third-party cookies for targeting or measurement.
