This is a very complex process, demanding rigorous methodology and huge amounts of computational power, but the end result is hugely advantageous: find people who behave in the same way as your customers, but who haven’t bought your product yet.
So what does a lookalike model actually look like? Say a washing machine manufacturer is having a sale and wants to encourage online purchases. We’d place a pixel on the sale confirmation page and analyse the behaviour that purchasers have undertaken elsewhere on the web (completely anonymously, of course). This group is analysed in order to reveal online behaviours that rank most highly amongst people with a propensity to buy washing machines.
Lookalike modelling is critical in programmatic buying – it’s the methodology advertisers use to define the users they’re after on ad exchanges. Yet there’s a distinct lack of transparency about how it’s done, consequently, it’s an area often least understood by #media buyers and owners.
This is particularly true in media planning and buying where technology and automation (aka ‘programmatic buying’) is burgeoning. So, I’ll aim to demystify the science behind one crucial approach in this field – the ‘lookalike’ model.
Marketers are bombarded with a bewildering amount of technology and science purporting to help them advertise more effectively. Whilst many of these may help there’s little doubt it’s harder for marketers to ‘look under the hood’ to assess whether these really deliver the right audiences they claim to.
