The Challenge
Broad demographic and geographic targeting meant a large share of spend reached people with no intention of buying. The brand couldn’t separate genuine in-market buyers from lookalikes early enough to act.
The Approach
Alive Data resolved the audience to the household and built an in-market intender segment from movement patterns plus dealership and service signals, surfacing intent 3–6 weeks before it showed in market.
The Activation
Pushed privacy-safe audiences into the brand’s existing DSP with no change to creative — only to who the spend reached.
The Results
Representative of results across recent campaigns.
38% media ROI lift and a reduction in wasted impressions against out-of-market households.
“Alive Data helped us identify in-market buyers weeks earlier than our previous targeting approach.”
