Converting data streams to revenue streams: #worldclassAI
In a data-rich world where AI is a 'must have', we're a world-class AI spin-out from University College London, one of the premier global centres of computing science academic excellence.
User Response Rate Estimation
Advertisers waste money if they reach the wrong audiences. Our world-class Real-time Bidding (RTB) product estimates the probability of a user taking an action that the client specifies, for example clicking, installing, registering, or purchasing. Demand-side Platforms (DSPs) see on average a 30% reduction in customer acquisition costs.
Bidding Optimisation
Paying the right price for an ad impression is paramount, especially when billions of impressions are made every day. We have built the industry’s first bid price optimisation tool which ensures clients pay the right price for the right impression. This is especially powerful when combined with the User Response Rate Estimation tool.
Audience Lookalike Modeling
Marketers are always looking to expand their audience base. We can do this by creating lookalikes based on their current audience profiles. Our machine learning algorithms deliver desktop and mobile audience lookalikes at scale with over 90% accuracy.
Audience Extensions
We provide publishers with the data science to maximise revenue while giving them the tools to build their own data management platform (DMP) solutions.
Floor Price Optimisation
Maximising yield across ad inventory is the prime aim for online publishers, but it takes into account many complex factors. Our price optimisation product is dynamic, working in real-time to achieve this objective - an industry first.
