On Wednesday, Cognitiv released the latest version of ContextGPT, which allows brands to provide more detailed and specific targeting parameters in order to optimize ad performance, Aaron Andalman, co-founder and chief science officer of Cognitiv, told AdExchanger. Brand suitability used to rely solely on keywords, said Andalman, but Cognitiv's technology understands content situationally based on how words are being used.
Audience planning has long relied on segmentation. It's how we bring structure to the chaos - turning abstract brand personas into something targetable and measurable. But the way we define audiences hasn't kept pace with the way people actually behave. Today's media environment is fragmented, fast-moving, and deeply personal. People don't consume content in neat, linear ways. They're scrolling, streaming, skipping, switching. And yet, much of our audience strategy is still based on static, retrospective data: a collection of pre-built segments, often designed for another time, place, or platform.
Omnichannel planning and activation benefit from fragmentation by maximizing advertising budget through reaching audiences across diverse screens, platforms, and media channels.
