Samsung Audience Advisor -a predictive campaign planning tool was launched in Q2, 2021. It allows advertisers to plug in any combination of first- and third-party data to understand the scale, behaviors, and time spent by their target audience in ad-supported video on demand (AVOD).
AVOD lets brands quantify their reach opportunities and gain an understanding of how much reach and frequency they can achieve at various budget levels. Advertisers can get more reach, scale, and efficiencies when they curate audiences through one of the onboarded DMP partners with Samsung Ads.
By the first half of 2022, Samsung Ads will incorporate Onboarding Partner Program and Audience Advisor into its demand-side platform. Molly Lashner, Media Hub’s associate media director, in a statement,
“We’ve had success activating advertisers’ first-party data on the Samsung Ads platform and rely on partners like Samsung to create turnkey integrations like their Onboarding Partner Program. This allows us to gain greater insights into streaming TV audiences and make our CTV campaigns even more powerful.”
Samsung Ads enables advertisers to leverage their first-party data to deliver stronger campaigns and results while ensuring consumer privacy preferences. In an analysis of hundreds of 2021 ad campaigns, Samsung found promising results. Brands that leveraged their own data generated up to 161% higher conversion rates than campaigns that did not. For entertainment campaigns, the audience advisor identified and targeted audiences who hadn’t been using a client’s product for some time. The tool found that this resulted in a 300% lift in conversion compared with audiences who were not exposed to the ad within the target segment.
Evans said that brands have started choosing partners who bring “substantial proprietary data to the relationship” as AVOD continues its share of total TV viewership.
“We are seeing and expecting more advertisers to lean into the partnership with us because they’re attracted to the differentiated data and insights that we provide.”
