DeepIntent, the leading healthcare advertising technology firm designed to influence improved patient health and business results, accomplished a key milestone, attaining growth for the fifth straight year and a triple-digit growth rate across CTV campaigns.
The firm added more than 100 employees in 2022, outpacing the expansion of the healthcare advertising industry as a whole, as pharmaceutical marketers increasingly embraced digital advertising, notably on CTV. In 2022, CTV spending on DeepIntent's demand-side platform grew by a factor of three, making it one of the fastest-growing channels for most pharmaceutical companies using the DeepIntent Healthcare Advertising Platform.
In the last year, DeepIntent has released several innovations that blend data and technology to increase the efficacy of campaigns. For example, using the patented technology of DeepIntent OutcomesTM, DeepIntent became the first demand-side platform to provide a patient reach guarantee in May of last year.
Founder and CEO of DeepIntent, Chris Paquette, said, "As we enter our seventh year as a company, DeepIntent has become more than the DSP of choice for healthcare marketers. Building upon our capabilities for campaign planning, activation, measurement, and optimization, we've made a number of strategic investments to keep that momentum going as we continue to lead pharma into the future."
