Notes
Concepts: “Our fundamental targeting unit is the Concept. Simply put, Concepts are atoms of intent. What’s so interesting about Concepts is how they transcend words and syntax to capture the deeper, often implicit associations between ideas. These form naturally, just as they do in the human brain.” Source
Concept Targeting: “Our proprietary targeting methodology functions as a predictive, high-performance decoder of consumer mindset. In other words, we read between the lines to zero-in on consumer intent.” Source
The ConceptGraph “is a ‘living’ thing. To date we’ve captured 52 million unique Concepts and 2.3 billion associations between those Concepts. How did we do this? By connecting the “data dots” between a variety of online signals, analyzing and encoding the content of trillions of webpages, and integrating proprietary insights from our extensive NetSeer publisher network.” Source
