MEN Media employs 'behavioural targeting' for its online portfolio | Print |  Email to a friend
Thursday, 04 December 2008
MEN Media has taken the lead of a growing number of publishing groups and employed a behavioural targeting agency to help it make the most of online ad opportunities.

In layman’s terms behavioural targeting is a way of customising the advertisements that appear to individual users by gathering information on their web browsing behaviour – for example the sites they have recently visited, or the searches they have made.

MEN Media has taken the lead of a growing number of publishing groups and employed a behavioural targeting agency to help it make the most of online ad opportunities.
To be boosted by Revenue Science
As the MEN now operates a portfolio of some 25 websites – including the recently launched CityLife.co.uk – there are growing opportunities in this domain, leading them to the signing of specialist agency Revenue Science.

Revenue Science is arguably the global leader in ads targeted in this manner and has a client list that includes names such FT.com, Guardian.co.uk, TimesOnline.co.uk, Orange.co.uk, TheSun.co.uk, Dailymail.co.uk and Telegraph.co.uk.
 
Speaking about what the group is hoping to achieve through the partnership, Gavin Merriman, head of product development at MEN Media, commented: "This improvement in our targeting capabilities will enable our advertisers to get even better performance out of their campaigns.

“Behavioural targeting is central to our digital sales strategy and will enable us to deliver our quality audience to advertisers where it adds real value."

The MEN brought its digital sales operation in-house just last month.
