Seedtag Launches Industry First Generative AI Capability for Contextual Dynamic Creatives

PR Newswire | May 22, 2023

Seedtag, the leading global contextual advertising company, has launched a powerful new generative AI capability that gives brands and agencies the capacity to build tailored creative based on the context of the surrounding page-level content. Advertisers can now benefit from iterations of ads that better fit "where they live" online. One creative now has infinite opportunities - saving time and resources. Generative AI has been fully integrated into Liz, Seedtag's contextual AI platform that provides Deep Learning, Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing capabilities. Liz fully understands the desired contexts for the client's ad campaign and creates prompts to modify the original creative based on the best possible outcome. The AI generative platform builds new creatives using the insight driven prompts that target specific audiences and meet campaign objectives, according to the brand's creative brief. While Seedtag already employs AI in its advertising offering to categorize the content of articles and contextualize creatives, generative AI provides advertisers more sophisticated creatives that perfectly match the content of the articles. This increases the effectiveness of contextual creatives even further, as studies from Lumen and Xandr have already shown that aligning context and creative generates a 20% uplift in attention and increases CTR by 1.6x. To ensure a brand's creative integrity is always upheld, Seedtag's leading global design team oversees every AI-generated creative before presenting to advertisers - fusing the best of both worlds: state-of-the art tech with a human touch. Fernando Pascual, VP of Design at Seedtag, states: "Outstanding creatives are vital to the success of any ad campaign, but it's equally important that these creatives are relevant to the context in which they're served. By integrating Liz with generative AI technology, we can offer our clients contextual creatives that integrate seamlessly with the context in which they will be displayed, helping them win the attention battle and drive better results, while also saving time and resources." AboutSeedtag Seedtag is the leading global contextual advertising company that creates highly impactful and engaging solutions for relevant premium visual content, powering targeting and returns for top publishers and the finest brands.

DeepIntent and Roku Research Reveals 79% of Adults 50+ Stream, Are More Amenable to Advertising Than the General Population

PR Newswire | May 16, 2023

DeepIntent, the leading healthcare advertising technology company built to influence better patient health and business outcomes, revealed new research that illuminates the streaming habits and impact of pharmaceutical advertising on adults over the age of 50. In partnership with Roku, Inc., DeepIntent shared the research at the company's second annual Innovating with Intent event focused on the future of connected TV (CTV) in the pharmaceutical industry. Because people are more likely to be diagnosed with conditions as they age, older patients are naturally an important demographic for pharmaceutical advertisers. Surveying more than 3,000 U.S. adults across every age group, DeepIntent and Roku dispelled the common misconception that older patients aren't as easy to reach on CTV as younger audiences. Marking the fourth time DeepIntent has surveyed patients to better understand their feelings toward pharmaceutical advertising and how it factors into their health and wellness journeys, the research found that 79% of adults 50 and over use streaming services. The research also found that 66% prefer advertising-based video-on-demand (AVOD) services, which means that these so-called "silver streamers" are even more amenable to advertising than the general population. Continuing to grow in popularity, CTV enables pharmaceutical brands to reach this demographic with messaging that's both relevant and privacy-safe. However, just 23% of patients 50 and over find the pharmaceutical ads they see on streaming services relevant to their lives, compared with 40% of patients under 50. "Pharma advertisers don't always use data-driven programmatic targeting on CTV to its full potential. As a result, silver streamers feel ads aren't relevant, which in turn makes them less likely to inspire action," said Marcella Milliet Sciorra, Chief Marketing Officer at DeepIntent. "DeepIntent was founded with the core belief that advertising technology can measurably improve patient outcomes, and our research highlights a massive opportunity for pharmaceutical brands to do that by reaching their most coveted demographic with relevant messaging on CTV." "People 50 and over are the primary audience for many pharma brands, who may not realize that this demographic is really driving streaming growth," said Eric Lloyd, Head of Industry, Health, at Roku. "There is a tremendous opportunity to reach people over 50 in streaming environments, which offer much more than traditional TV in terms of impacting the patient journey and driving script lift. The survey results only confirmed that it's paramount for pharma advertisers to capitalize on this paradigm shift." Conducted between March 9 and 16, the survey also found: 77% of patients 50 and over have a diagnosed condition 49% of patients 50 and over view relevant advertising positively 7% of patients 50 and over have made an appointment to see a healthcare provider (HCP) after seeing a pharmaceutical ad, compared with 21% of patients under 50 96% of cord-cutters 50 and over are happy with their decision to cancel their cable/satellite TV service and more To learn more about DeepIntent, visit www.deepintent.com/.
