AI and data is revolutionising ads, helping fill every last seat in the metaphorical plane.
Traditional targeting methods often relied on invasive data collection and manual processes, such as gathering demographic information from surveys or databases. AI, however, analyses anonymous user behaviour—such as browsing habits and content engagement—on a granular level to create highly precise user segments.
AI also excels in real-time ad optimisation, interpreting thousands of data signals to enhance campaign performance. Advertisers can now target audiences with 10 times the precision, ensuring users see ads tailored to their interests.
Using an aeroplane metaphor, Rajiv Khaneja, CEO and founder of AdButler, likened ineffective ad targeting to flying a half-empty plane—costly and inefficient. AI, on the other hand, helps fills the plane with people interested in the businesses offer, ensuring advertisers maximise the value of their spend.
Rajiv emphasised that as the advertising industry evolves, adopting AI-driven solutions is no longer optional. Businesses failing to embrace these tools risk falling behind as advertisers prioritise platforms that offer better audience alignment and measurable results.
