EARLIER INTENT

The Challenge

A national auto brand was buying across broad demographic and geographic audiences. A large share of spend reached people with no intention of buying a car soon, and the team couldn’t reliably tell genuine in-market buyers from people who merely fit a demographic.

The Solution

Alive Data resolved the audience to the household and built an in-market intender segment from movement, plus dealership and service signals via the Pentana partnership (around 70% of Australian dealerships), layered with spend and wealth. It surfaced intent a few weeks before it showed in market, activated privacy-safe through the brand’s existing DSP.

The Results

Reaching in-market households earlier lifted media ROI by around 22% and cut wasted impressions against out-of-market households by roughly 28%.

“Alive Data helped us identify in-market buyers weeks earlier than our previous targeting approach.”
