Our take
Finding new customers used to be a slow and expensive process for businesses, but modern adverts are driven by data to efficiently target consumers and optimize the success of campaigns. However, creating such data-driven advertisement campaigns requires data frameworks and digital content creators to support them, resources that many businesses are unable to access.
Fluent provides a data-driven digital marketing platform for businesses looking to find new customers through advertising by leveraging data analytics, digital media properties, and simple software integrations. The company achieves this by capturing first-party insights through consumers who are searching for new brands, using predictive modeling to match these audiences with relevant ad campaigns.
Whilst data-driven advertising is nothing new, Fluent has taken the unique angle of collecting first-party data from consumers who sign up to their digital media properties with the intention of finding personalized brand recommendations. This approach ultimately benefits both parties, helping brands to find new customers who are actively looking for their products or services.
