Our take
Targeting digital advertising campaigns to the right audience has historically required the use of cookies, but the privacy issues associated with them have led to many businesses seeking alternative data sources. Whilst anonymous proprietary data can be leveraged to provide an alternative to cookies, it can be difficult to access and build audiences out of such data without the right AI-driven analysis tools and data infrastructure.
Dstillery provides AI-driven audience building tools for businesses who seek to leverage first-party, geospatial, behavioural, and demographic data as an alternative to cookies to build high-performing programmatic digital advertising campaigns. In addition to AI-driven audience modelling technology, the company also offers pre-built audiences for clients who already understand the audiences they want to reach.
Although the AI tools and datasets required for cookieless ad targeting already exist, navigating them is difficult, and Dstillery has been smart to recognize this. By unifying such solutions into self-serve and managed platforms, the company is facilitating its clients to benefit from anonymous data without requiring infrastructure to analyze and manually build audiences from it.
