that is both receptive to your marketing message and large enough to drive

meaningful results. We’ll work with you to identify relevant characteristics of

your target audience, including topics of interest, demographic profiles and business data. Special consideration is given to user behavior, taking into

account that someone who reads multiple articles about smartphone tests over the course of a few days is likely considering a purchase and will be more receptive to

an advertisement on the subject. Using programmatic buying, we can employ our first-party data to access highly targeted

audience groups with scale across the entire IDG network and beyond.
